Default Intro for PNW Member

My name is Donny
Just just bought my wife a 2003 S-Type 4.2
119,000 miles
3 prev owners
Well maintained

The car came with one manual key, but no key fob.
The rear-view mirror is off but the mount is glued to the windscreen so I'm wondering first of all, how to reconnect that assembly. It is the automatic version with the cable and connector...
Also my wife was wondering how to connect a telephone...
(I'm reading through the manual as I type this)!

Cheers! Thanks for having us. Hope to learn much.

Welcome to the Forums.

There will be answers to all that in the S Type (X200) Tech Section.
The stickies at the top will also be a worthwhile read.

Good luck.

Hello, Donny,
Congratulations on your new S-type Jaguar! You should be able to get another 100k out of it with cars and feeding.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Provided all the parts are present and undamaged, the mirror head should slide upwards back onto the mount and lock into position:





The telephone is likely to be more challenging. Most Jaguars of that period have the phone buttons on the audio unit and the steering wheel BUT very few original buyers chose to have the very expensive Jaguar fixed or bluetooth options fitted. Retro fitting the OE Jaguar equipment (even if you can find it) will be expensive and, now being seventeen year old technology, have limited scope for connecting current phones. An aftermarket bluetooth kit is a better solution.

Default Aftermarket Bluetooth kit

Thank you very much for that.
What about installing a new AV system with Bluetooth?
Does does anybody have a recommendation?

Donny,

Best take that question to S-Type forum. Lots of members read the Intro threads and some reply but not many come back again later to read further posts in them.
