Is there anyway a IPHONE/IPOD hookup can be installed to plug this device in and play music from the phone thru the speakers in a 2008 XJR?

 

if you do a seach on ACM on the forum you should find a guide on this. I am not sure how readily available the units are anymore but this would be your best route, as it will add usb and phono to your system. I have always just used the rear entertainment in the back to attach iphone to then away you go without having to install anything fancy.

 

Hey James. How did you do this? Can you describe in somewhat detail what you have done to get that to work? This is the first time I have heard of someone doing that.

thanks!!

 

well i have a long rca cable with a rca to stereo adapter on the end they only cost around a pound or a buck. I plug the Rca into the rear entertainment console and select the audio source to be aux input 1 or 2 depending which side you plugged it in. Then you make sure the button for car speakers is selected which is in the middle top of the console think it is a speaker button and might be a number key not sure if it is both. Then you just turn the stereo up and away you go. Then i just put my iphone or ipod on seat on in cup holder and away you go. Just sit in the back of the car if this doesnt work and have a fiddle with the buttons encase i got instructions wrong. I use this rather than buying the expensive ACM because it normally just use cds i only use this when have wife in car and she wants her ipod on as doesn't like my music tasteso its 5 bucks over 100 odd for the ACM

Also this is a link for someone installing an acm in the X350

Once you have the ACM you can go the whole route and install a mimics unit

This will give you the iphone or android mirrored on the nav screen
You can then also use your nav touch screen to control the phone

Going to try to install ipod interface module from isimple tomorrow. I will let everyone know how it goes. Installing in 06 stype with nav

 

Installed ipod interface to my 06 stype with nav. Works great. Used isimple is77, and metra 40-eu30. Installed under center console cubby box.

 

Would be nice if you any pics laying around then I can steal some money off the wife to have a little upgrade as in bad books for buying new tv

 

No pics but i can walk u thru the process. Removal of center console and audio unit is easy.
