This harness cable assembly is designed to integrate the J&M Blu<>Hub® custom dongle06, (dongle06 not included with this harness kit) to the stock audio system on all years of the Honda GL-1800, including the new 2012 GL-1800.
The J&M Bluetooth headset/dongle06 combination when used in this configuration will provide all of the standard functions of normal corded headsets on the GL-1800 audio system, but without the cord, including stereo music to the headsets, driver/passenger intercom, Honda CB radio (if so equipped) etc.
Features of this dongle06 GL-1800 audio system integration include;
** No in-headset echo or sound delay when using the GL’s driver/passenger intercom system.
** Rider and passenger can each simultaneously link their J&M Bluetooth headset to their own cell phone or Garmin Zumo, for private, in-helmet cell phone communications and/or nav commands.
** Passenger will be able to use their own music volume control that may already be installed ((Honda or J&M)), separate from the driver.
** Dongle06 harness has input plugs included for the 4 various J&M radar detector harnesses (extra cost item), with the radar detector beep/brap heard only in the DRIVER’S Bluetooth headset.
** The stock Honda corded headset connectors can still be used, when the dongle06 is integrated into the GL-1800 audio system.
This cable harness kit includes externally mounted driver/passenger linking/pairing switches, integration component box, all necessary cables, harnesses, & connection spades and complete installation/operation instructions.
The J&M Blu<>Hub® dongle06 component itself is NOT included with this harness connection kit.
Per J&M Corporation's Policy:
All J&M Bluetooth sales are FINAL. Please read "Extended Information" BEFORE purchasing.
NOTE: The following policy is per J&M Corporation.
With the nature of Bluetooth® products and the confusion surrounding how they actually work in the motorcycle riding environment, please review the following points prior to your purchase, as all J&M Bluetooth sales are final.
Positive Features:
|
1) |
J&M Bluetooth helmet headsets are the best performing Bluetooth headsets on the market today, providing sound and fidelity in the helmet, equal to our best performing corded headsets. |
|
2) |
J&M Bluetooth headsets use only the latest Bluetooth software profiles to allow proper linking to the latest Bluetooth enabled cell phones, MP/3 music devices, GPS units etc, along with J&M’s custom dongles. |
|
3) |
J&M’s headset designs, quality control and distribution are the best in the business and all J&M products are backed by J&M’s two-year limited warranty. (except Lithium Ion Batteries) |
Possible Negative Features:
|
4) |
J&M Bluetooth headsets must be fully charged each time before use, and if the battery goes dead during your day while riding, you will need to stop and re-charge it. |
|
5) |
Lithium Ion batteries are relatively expensive and will need to be replaced every 1 ½ - 3 years for proper operation of the headset or dongle, and these batteries are NOT covered by J&M’s 2-year limited warranty. |
|
6) |
Some Bluetooth enabled devices may not work together consistently, and/or all of the listed features may not be available/compatible with other Bluetooth devices and Bluetooth headsets. |
|
7) |
Bluetooth enabled devices can sometimes unlink from each other for reasons that cannot be readily explained, and then need to be re-linked again for proper operation, causing frustration and inconvenience for the user. |
|
8) |
When using one of J&M’s custom dongles operating in the JMAHP Bluetooth profile, connected to a motorcycle audio system with the driver/passenger intercom feature, there is an approximate 90ms delay in the talkback function into the helmet. This delay is not bothersome to most users, but some may object to it compared to the operation and sound of the intercom system when using corded headsets. |
|
9) |
In the end you should consider whether or not the higher costs of the Bluetooth headset and/or custom dongles (up to three times higher than the equivalent corded headset solution) along with the sometimes complicated linking/use scenarios, are worth it for your particular riding situation, just to take the place of the simple to use J&M headset cord. |
All of us here at J&M want you to be happy with your purchases, so please keep in mind the above considerations BEFORE purchasing any of our Bluetooth products.
