5. General Operation Instructions
General Tips for Use with Aux Input
Plug the auxiliary cable into the satellite radio/MP3 player. The “Tune/Disc” handlebar lever will have no effect on functions of the satellite
radio/MP3 player.
General Tips for Use with USB Thumb Drive
1. Plug your USB Thumb Drive into the computer.
2. Click on Start and then Computer.
3. Now find the USB thumb-drive (designated as Disk (F): in this example)

4. Click on the Removable Disk (F): and you should now have an open folder, this is also known as the Root Folder.
5. At this point Music can be added to the USB Thumb-Drive. You will need to locate your MP3, WMA or WAV files on your computer.
6. To transfer music files from your computer to the USB Thumb-Drive, drag and drop at least one track (up to 95) into this main root folder.
This main root folder must contain at least one MP3, WMA or WAV file/track or the JMDM-GL18K will not play. This main root folder will be
displayed on the Honda radio display as CD1.
Additional folders can now be added to the root folder by clicking on (Top-Left) File, then New, then Folder.
For the 2001-2010 GL-1800, it works best to limit the # of folders to 5, plus the root, with no more than 95 files/tracks per folder. The sug-
gested file format for music is MP3, while WMA & .WAV can be used if the files/tracks are not copy-protected. If you are using iTunes, the
music files will need to be converted to MP3 before they are loaded into the USB thumb drive.
Here is an example of five folders with 39 music files/tracks in the main root folder.
7. When you are finished loading the USB thumb-drive, unplug it from the computer, insert into the JMDM-GL18E and select CD on the Honda
audio system control panel.
The music will begin to play and is displayed as CD1 and you can track up/down within the CD1 root folder, by using the handlebar control.
To change to the next folder press and hold the “Tune/Disc” up toggle for three seconds and CD2 will begin to play. If you do not press and
hold the “Tune/Disc” up/down toggle for the three seconds, the next track will play in CD1 instead of the CD2 folder.
6. Bluetooth Linking/Pairing Scenarios
Note: CD must be selected on the Honda GL-1800 audio system for the following to function properly.
Pairing and Operation of the JMDM-GL18K to a Bluetooth Enabled Music/Media Device.
1. Turn the motorcycle ignition switch to on or accessory position.
2. Go into the settings menu of the Smartphone/Music/Media device to be paired and select “search for new Bluetooth device”.
3. Once JMC-BTDM-04 is displayed on your screen, click on it and select media only if given the option.
4. Once the music/media player connects to the JMDM-GL18K the music will be heard through the Honda GL-1800 audio system and the
music from the USB Thumb drive will pause.
5. Volume adjustments can be made on the music/media player itself, along with the handlebar volume controls on the GL1-1800
6. Once paired the Bluetooth music/media player will automatically re-pair each time the ignition switch is turned on.
