The Dealer delivered my 2015 F6B last Wednesday. It has installed on it the following Big Bike Parts, Smoked Chrome accessories. Side Accessory Group, the Front Accessory Group, the Cockpit Accessory Group, the Rear Accessory Group and the Smoked Tour Luggage Rack. I purchased the Dupli-Color Shadow chrome blackout coating and done the front disc covers, foot rests and some parts on the front fender chrome parts. I have not taken it out on a ride yet because of the weather.

I have one of the older J&M CFRG-GL18 Cell Phone/GPS/Radar Detector Auto Integration Terminal for GL1800. I have used this on two Goldwings. It is just too large for the room under the left glove box to put it. All I would like to have is to hookup my cell phone to work through my helmet speakers. Is there any system available without having to purchase the expensive new J&M CFBR-GL18 wireless system?

That's gorgeous, the smoked chrome works perfect with the gray.
What windshield do you have there?

It is a Tulsa windshield. I had purchased it for my 2012 Goldwing but had never installed it. I don't know if I like it to well. I may take it off and cut about two inches off the bottom and drill new holds to lower it about two inches.

Congrats on the new ride Jerry. If you want to go completely wireless, I would recommend investing in a Bluetooth system such as the Sana SMH10 or 20S. If you want to keep your existing JM headset and just want to listen to your tunes, etc through your cell phone, then you can use the front aux cord in your front left accessory box to plug in.

The third option is to possibly place your older JM device in the front right accessory area (where the heated grips controller is) and run your lines from there to the bottom of the left accessory box to plug in.

Or double stick/zip tie your JM module to the bottom of your front fairing (under your headlights) and run it into your left accessory box?

As you may know, the CFBR-GL18 system fits and works great on the F6B. As you mention, however, it is quite expensive. I was lucky to buy a used one from another forum member. Maybe you can get lucky and find a good used one too :shrug:.

Fast Forward...checked on eBay and here is a new one for a reduced price:

I agree the Sena Bluetooth setup is trick. I have it & works like Magic to my android cell phone, plus it has a 3.5mm jack (this is a standard stero earbuds input). With this input you can get from Sena for $24.95 a cord that will plug into the F6b's 5 pin din. With this setup you can Bluetooth either phone calls or music from you cell phone, plus listen to music from your bikes stero and usb input etc. When a phone call comes in it will automatically mute your music and all you do to answer the phone call is say "hello" hands free. In addition this Sena when paired up with another Sena will give you communications with another rider up to a mile or your wife riding behind you.

Kennedy Electronics aka Cellset can custom fabricate you an integration unit for your cell phone to play through the intercom system on our f6's. I have one underneath my glove box and it works fine with my I Phone. Google Cellset and send them an e-mail. I know mine was less expensive than the J&M version.

Ed Sets is working on device to intergrate your BT phone into the bike but you
still need the cord to the helment, and John at Kennedy just started working on his
last week check with both of them.
