alright so i know this has been covered however i got a 99 xjr how can i plug my ipod directlly into the sound system? any help would be great

 

Use a cassette converter.. The sound is not great, but it works...An FM transmitter is another way to go.
No aux in the stereo..

Many other threads here regarding this exact question

 

cassette converter works perfectly. i dont know what he's talking about the sound for me is the exact same as listening to it directly.
u can get it at any co;nvieince store

 

Then you either have very poor hearing or there is something wrong with your stereo.

 

The cassette adapter is amazingly clear. I got mine at Radio Shack and I was pleasantly surprised in my XKR. Only thing is it ejects itself when you turn off the key.

 

isimple makes one that you can pull the head-unit out and unhook the antenna and put it into the isimple box then plug the box back into the radio. Pretty simple it was $85 at bestbuy and it took me about 30min to install it on my xj6. It works with my iphone for music and hands free calling

 

THere are several threads running right now, within in the last week or so, in the XJ8 XJR forum that will tell you exactly how to hard wire an AUX cable to the CD changer wiring. I just did this in my 2000 XJ8, and it wasn't very difficult - if you're mildly mechanical and can do simple wire cuts and crimps. It sounds great! The post below should provide you with links to all you need to know.

RE: Cassete adaptors and FM modulators - I'm sorry to disagree, but NO cassete unit ever made has the bandwidth available in the heads to receive all the information contained in modern audio signals, NOR does the FM receiver. They are both severely bandwidth limited and introduce noise.

If those that use them are happy with the performance, great. But some of us WILL notice the loss in low and high frequency response and the additional noise, especially in the reasonably good stock Jag stereo system. I am in no way an 'audiophile', but definitely can tell the difference in a 5 second blind test.

FACT: direct connection to the head unit is the only way to go to avoid loss of fidelity. Because some may be unable to hear the difference does not change the fact.
