Having just sold the '04 XK8, I must say that I am liking its replacement, '08 XK. I am finding the bluetooth clarity is great, as long as the car is standing still. When moving, reception/background noise is so great, others cannot hear me. Just for kicks, used a stethoscope to listen to the pillar where the mic is located. The noise detected is pretty significant. I was thinking about relocating the mic to another location (as I did listen once again to a bunch of other places to find the quietest place to relocate the mic). Anyone else having this problem, or is it just my car? Thanks for you input.

Guess I probably should have started by thanking all of you for the information you have provided for some time now. Although I had not signed up earlier, I regularly searched the forum when I had questions concerning my XK8. To be honest, usually found what I was looking for. All too often people forget to say thank you. Please allow me to express my appreciation for the time and dedication that the contributors of this forum provide. I am looking forward to giving back as well. While the newer cars are far different from the old, I still have my first car (1974 MG Midget), and have been tinkering with British cars since 1974. I have to admit to being surprised as to how many parts from my E-type actually carried over to my XK8. Think it had about the same number of quirks as well. With that, I thank you all once again for significantly contributing to my very happy Jaguar driving satisfaction!
