    I plug a bluetooth receiver ($8.00) into the saddlebag USB. I put my Iphone in the left front cubbyhole with Pandora playing on the phone thru bluetooth. Using the AUX setting on the radio I can use the handlebar volume and skip switches on the handlebars.
    Here is the USB Bluetooth Receiver that I use.

    They get their power from the USB plug in the saddlebag.
    I can also charge the phone in the front cubby while still using bluetooth for tunes.

    Has been working for years now

    Mine is a hbit pricy,
    I use a sena 20s and a Sena sm 10 bluetooth trasmitter.
    The sena sm10 has my headset jack and GPS plugged into it.
    This allows me to hear music annd the GPS cuts out music and gives directions.
    Also can make and receive phone calls.

    I went with electical connections for mine. It works fine, no issues with it so far.
    The stoichiometric mixture for a gasoline engine is the ideal ratio of air to fuel that burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the
    stoichiometric air–fuel mixture is about 14.7:1 i.e. for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. - Wiki

    I tried a cheap Best Buy blue tooth transmitter for a basic single signal it worked but not well. I went with a sena 20 and a freewire. I am very pleased with it. You can use both sides of your aux imput, am, fm, phone, gps on phone, i also have a zumo, satelite radio, plus wireless intercom with my wife on her bike. Yes a sena system cost a little more but it is best thing i have ever had a bike.

    I'm still watching these posts and thanks for your inputs Shortleg521.

    I did find some DIN pin outs on another site, DIY Goldwing Headsets if anyone is interested and for future reference.

    Din Plug Pin Connected to
    1 Microphone Screening (-)
    4 Microphone Live (+) (via Capacitor)
    2 Earphones Screening (-) on Both Left and Right
    5 Earphone Left (+)
    3 Earphone Right (-)


    EDIT...And then later in the same site it "changes" to this:

    Din Plug Pin Connected to
    1 Microphone Screening (-)
    2 Microphone Live (+) (via Capacitor)
    3 Earphones Screening (-) on Both Left and Right
    4 Earphone RIGHT (+)
    5 Earphone LEFT (+)

    And finally, I find this statement..."If you look at the back of a 5 pin din plug the pins are numbered 1,4,2,5,3, not 1,2,3,4,5. this is where a lot of confusion is made when connections are made. 1 being mic+, 4 is mic ground, 2 is speaker common, 3 and 5 are right and left channels. Here is a link to plug image."

    What are you looking to do,have you figured out yet.
    You can but any din jack already made up so its plug and play.

    I just got my hands on "used" Sena Freewire so I'm resurrecting this thread.

    I've also bought the new Scorpion EXO-GT930 Transformer modular helmet with the UClear Bluetooth system installed.(Actually had to get it separately and install myself.)

    I can't seem to get a workable connection between the two. I can get both units lights to tell me the "pairing" was completed but I cant get any audio from the F6B audio system (set to headset) to play in the helmet headset.

    I've paired the EXO-Com headset to my Android phone and it works fine, which is my work around for now.

    SeaSteve Before you lose your mind trying to get it sorted out, make sure that both devices have the most current firmware update.
