Re: DUMMY QUESTION!
it IS the 3.5 mm jack for the AUX audio input of the radio. plug your phone into it to listen to music that you have on your phone. MOTE: you wont be able to control the music with handle bar controls. just volume.
I know people say we spend too much money on our rides, but I can't hear them when I'm 1000 miles away!

Re: DUMMY QUESTION!
Fun Fact ... the 2001 Goldwing was the first vehicle to have an audio plug for an MP3 player, or smart phone. The 2nd vehicle was a 2002 Honda Element. Now all cars have them.
Once your smart phone is plugged in and playing music, be sure the audio system is on and then hit the "AUX" button to make music from the smart phone play through the Wing's sound system.

Re: DUMMY QUESTION!
The GL1500 Valkyrie Interstate also had a jack to plug in an external audio source, similar to the GL1500 Goldwing Interstate.

Re: DUMMY QUESTION!
Thank you. Honda touted about it when I bought my first GL1800, and I guess I always assumed that they were talking about the 5th gen and not the 4th genMikeB wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 1:40 amI don't recall if there was an Interstate in 1990.
