I want to install a phone for use with the Navigation system on my '04 VP. Which phone works best and what is required?

Do I have to go to Jaguar to have installed?

How much should I expect to pay?

I was thinking I would just add an additional line to my current cell phone account, buy the correct phone for the Jag, and do call forwarding on my iPhone to the Jag's cell phone. I would then replicate my address book to the Jag's cell phone for outgoing calls.

What do you think?

Assuming you mean a Blue Tooth phone, I had a recent experience which may be helpful. I am a committed Verizon user. It turns out that they have many phones which will connect with the car bluetooth system but only one, according to my Verizon rep, which will also transfer the address book. It is a Motorola MOTORIZR Z6tv V CAST phone. It has more features than I want but it does work including the transfer of the address book to the navigation system.

I have a 05 Jaguar XJR

Good luck. I did find making the bluetooth connection very easy...about a 3 minute task!

Does the Jag's nav have bluetooth built in?

I believe that for 04 it was an option. Newer models had it as standard. If you do not have it, I believe
it can be added but when I looked into it when I was considering purchasing an 04, I found it pretty pricey. If
you don't have it then you might want to call your dealer and get a quote. Perhaps other readers have added the package and
can give you a better idea about the price.
