Instructions

1. Product Description
This latest v00.2.2 (01-16-2020) software update has finally addressed ALL
of the on/off linking issues with the current Honda audio system software
on the 2018-2020 Gold Wing.
Now the user will be able to shut off the Gold Wing to get fuel for instance,
leave the headset/headsets turned on, and when re-starting the bike, the
headsets will re-link automatically, as well as easy trouble-free linking on
initial start-up.
When linking to the Harley® WHIM dongle, the BT04 headset will now
stream mono music from the WHIM while providing all functions of the inter-
com, cell phone, GPS commands and CB radio thru the Harley Infotainment
audio systems.
This latest version 2.2 update also maintains the full stereo operation with
the audio systems on the Can-Am Spyder and Indian Ride-Command.
An all new BT04 VOICE prompt package has also been included.

J&M BT-04 Series Helmet Headset Installation Instructions
WARNING! Helmet speakers may not be legal in all jurisdictions. Check your local laws BEFORE using this product. J & M Corporation cannot control the circumstances surrounding the sale of this equipment, the
quality of installation, or the specific helmet into which this equipment is installed. Accordingly, J & M Corporation makes no warranties, expressed or implied, related thereto. A helmet with this equipment installed
may not protect the user from injury. The user assumes all liability in conjunction with accidents, injuries or losses of any kind arising out of the use of this product. Additionally, this product should not be used in
any way that would impair the user’s ability to hear traffic or other noises. Accordingly, the volume should be kept low or off, depending upon the circumstances.
5A. Installation Instructions For Most Modular
Flip-Up & Open-Face Style Helmets
IMPORTANT NOTE: Modern day helmets can present special challenges
for wireless headset installation. If you do not feel you are up to the task,
you may send your “un-modified” helmet to our factory in Tucson and we
will perform the installation for a nominal fee. (Please call first to ensure
that we are able to install a headset into your particular brand/model of
helmet.)
Installation into most Modular Flip-Up and Open-Face
Style Helmets
1. Most modular flip-up and/or open-face style helmets have cheek pads
that can be removed. Carefully do so at this time, paying special atten-
tion not to break or damage any of the polystyrene parts. (It is impor-
tant to have the helmet fit and feel the same after the speakers are
mounted as it did before the headset was installed.)
2. Using a headset speaker as a guide, mark the circular pieces of styrene
to be removed from the back of the ear area of the nose section or the
cheek pad. See Figure 3. With an Exacto® knife, cut a hole slightly
smaller than the speaker so that the speaker will “press fit” into the
hole without damaging the styrene. An airtight seal is necessary to
preserve bass response as the sound pressure from the back of the
speaker housing should not be allowed to mix with the sound pressure
from the front. Also, be careful not to cut or damage the fabric lining.
3. Position the boom microphone on the right inside portion of the helmet
so that the microphone lines up with the wearer’s mouth. Then remove
the backing from the tape on the pre-gummed mounting square and
press it into place inside the helmet. (Note: this area should be cleaned
with rubbing alcohol prior to sticking the microphone in place.)
4. Slide the mounting clamp into the proper position on the left bottom
edge of the helmet, peel the backing off the double-sided tape, press
the clamp-on mounting plate assembly firmly into place, then Install the
BT-04 module on to the mounting-plate. See Figure 4.
5. Using the enclosed wooden tool, carefully push the speaker wires into
the gap between the helmet liner and shell. See Figure 5.

Installation into Full-Coverage Style
Helmet
1. Most full coverage-style helmets have cheek
pads or a complete nose section that can be
removed. Carefully do so at this time, paying
special attention so as not to break or damage
any of the polystyrene parts.
2. Using a headset speaker as a guide, mark the
circular pieces of styrene to be removedfrom
the back of the ear area of the nose sec- tion
or the cheek pad. See Figure 1. With an
Exacto® knife, cut a hole slightly smaller than
the speaker so that the speaker will “press fit”
into the hole without damaging the styrene.
An airtight seal is necessary to preserve bass
response as the sound pressure from the back
of the speaker housing should not be allowed
to mix with the sound pressure from the front.
Also, be careful not to cut or damage the fabric
lining
3. Locate an area in the nose section just to the
left of the center to mount the microphone.
See Figures 3 & 4. Make sure that this
placement will not interfere with any venting
mechanisms or other parts of the helmet upon
re-installation of the nose section.

Using an Exacto® Knife, cut out a hole of
sufficient size to allow the microphone to be
mounted through the nose section and be
pressed against the inside shell. See Figure
3. Insert the microphone cartridge through the
hole from the back side, Install the rubber boot
and push the mike back into the hole from the
front side
4. Place the speakers into the cheek pads. See
Figure 5.
5. Clean the inside of the helmet shell where
the speakers will be positioned with a cloth
dampened with alcohol. Peel the backing from
each supplied Velcro pad and press it into the
proper position for the speakers to contact
when the helmet is re-assembled.
6. Reinstall the nose section and/or cheek pads.
Push the speakers firmly against the Velcro®
pads.
7. Slide the mounting clamp into the proper posi-
tion on the left bottom edge of the helmet,
peel the backing off the double-sided tape,
press the clamp-on mounting plate assembly
firmly into place, then Install the BT-04 module
on to the mounting-plate. See Figures 6 & 7.

Honda Gold Wing
Headset & Cell Phone Linking
The features, linking scenarios and operations listed below are what you
can expect with the BT-04/BT03+ software version v00.1.5.
1. Rider to link their headset to the Rider HS feed from the Bluetooth sys-
tem menu.
2. Rider to link their cell phone to the Bluetooth system on the Wing OR
plug-in their iPhone to the system USB for Apple Car-Play functions.
3. Passenger to link their headset to the Passenger HS feed from the
Bluetooth menu system.
4. Passenger to link their cell phone direct to their own BT-04 headset
(NOT to the audio system on the Wing)
5. Rider and Passenger headsets to be linked together in simple secured
pairing mode (SSP) for “Private” helmet-to-helmet intercom conversa-
tions.
How To Listen to Music
At this point both rider and passenger can take advantage of there own
music source coming from the audio system using Honda’s dual-zone tech-
nology with all headset music volume adjustments made from the handle-
bar and/or rear controls so that there is never any need to “Fiddle” with
volume adjustments on the headset.
The Passenger can also listen to their own music source available from
their linked cell phone, while still being available for helmet-to-helmet inter-
com conversations.
How To Answer Rider Cell Phone
When an incoming cell-phone call is received thru the system, the rider will
view on screen and make the selection to answer or reject the call with the
handlebar controls.
The FIRST time the Rider will talk on the phone, the BT04 headset volume
needs to be adjusted to maximum with the volume + (up) button on the
headset, and then all subsequent volume adjustments while talking on the
Rider’s cell phone will be made with the Wing’s handlebar volume control.
How To Answer Passenger Cell Phone
When an incoming call is received by the passenger headset, the music will
mute and a ring-tone will be heard in the passenger headset only.
If the passenger wishes to answer the call, they will momentarily press their
headset’s multifunction button one time.

When the passenger is finished talking, they can simply wait for the other
party to hang up or they can terminate the call with a single press on the
headset’s multifunction button.
With the Passenger’s headset, all cell phone call volume adjustments are
made on the headset itself with the vol-up (+) and vol-down (-) buttons dur-
ing actual cell phone conversations and the headset will remember these
volume settings for subsequent cell phone conversations.
How to Use Rider-to-Passenger Intercom
Once the Rider and Passenger headsets have been linked together for “pri-
vate” helmet-to-helmet communications, either can activate or terminate
the intercom function with a single press on the intercom button on either
headset.
When in helmet-to-helmet intercom mode, intercom volume adjustments
are made on the headsets themselves with the vol-up (+) and vol-down (-)
buttons only.
These intercom volume adjustment settings will be remembered by each
headsets so there will be no need to “fiddle” with them each time the
helmet-to-helmet intercom function is activated.
How To Use 40-CH CB Radio
After starting the bike and music is playing into the Rider and Passenger
headsets, lower the CB squelch setting to level 1 and confirm that the CB
background static noise is heard in the headset.
Then adjust the headset volume to maximum FIRST with the volume + (up)
button on the headset itself, then all subsequent CB radio volume adjust-
ments are to be made using the handlebar volume control. (For the dura-
tion of that ride sequence)
Then turn the CB squelch control back up to about level 8, or however high
is necessary to remove the background CB static, at which time the music
will return to both the Rider and Passenger headsets.
If the Rider or Passenger wish to talk over the CB radio, simply depress
either the handlebar mounted CB PTT switch or activate CB TX from the
passenger controls, if your Wing is so equipped.
