RE: AFTERMARKET RADIO???
I am looking for a nav unit for my 2000 SType and this looks great. Can you answer the following questions:
1. Can the unit control the stock glove compartment CD changer?
2. Does the mute button on the steering wheel work?
3. Did you use an adapter for the wiring harness and if so, what make/model/part#?
Thanks in advance.

RE: AFTERMARKET RADIO???
Hello jakej and welcome.
Thanks for the compliment.
Answers to your questions:
1) I removed the stock cd changer. I believe that the stock changer is Alpine - I'm not 100% sure though.
2) Yes, along with the other buttons. You need to get a PAC Audio Steering Wheel Interface adapter
(SWI-X is the adapter that I use)
3) Yes, I used wire harness adapters. I purchased then from crutchfield.com

RE: AFTERMARKET RADIO???
Just a data point for those doing audio upgrades. I recently replaced the stock unit on my '05 S-Type with a Pioneer DEH-P7000BT + Sirius SC-C1/CD-SB10 and a PAC SWI-PS. The Metra 99-9500 bezel is close to, but not quite as dark as, the rest of the console.
I don't know what standard was used for the cage, but it isn't DIN, and I made standoffs to mount the Pioneer radio. The wiring harness was custom, I used a handful of molex connectors and crimped everything, which worked quite well. I also made a little three-way power adapter to run the head unit, PAC, and Sirius gear.
The SWI-PS is smart enough to do different things in different modes, which I thought was pretty clever. Programming it was a snap, use mode 3, the white wire from the PAC, and the black/white wire on pin 10 of the original radio plug.
No fancy amps or anything, the P7000BT is no powerhouse but drives the stock speakers enough for my use.
I've temporarily mounted the USB and AUX stereo plug in the center console while I decide if that's where I really want them. The Bluetooth microphone is mounted just behind the steering wheel.
So far no surprises, the install was prety simple and the result is nice and clean. I originally thought of using the double-DIN Pioneer FHP8000BT, and still think it would look nice in the console.

Hello (I will check in on new members board) but wanted to post here first.
Have an 05 S-Type R since 3 days ago. No blue-tooth wireless or phone.
Question:
Can I replace the smaller (looks like a narrow 1 DIN) area where the single CD and volume *** are? It looks like there is a Nexxia FP-14-01 Fascia adaptor. I would put a Pio AVH-P6300BT if that would work?
If not, I was planning this:
1) Metra 70-9500 Harness
2) Metra 99-9501B Dash kit
3) Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT
4) Axxess ASWC Steering wheel control interface
Appreciate any advice.

Installing up-to-date car audio
A lot has changed in car audio since the last post made a dozen years ago, so I'll bring up the subject again, hoping for up-to-date comments.
I recently purchased a 2001 Jaguar S-type 3.0 V6 with 114,000 miles, in good condition. The previous owner modified some stuff and "lost" the CD unit and damaged the cassette unit of the car stereo. He replaced the nav instrument with small screen for a rear camera.
The sound quality is poor.
I thought of replacing the original radio and CD unit, but that would cost more than $200 for used gear on eBay.
So: has anyone recently replaced the original car stereo with a new multi-media unit? I'm looking for features such as:
6.8" or 7" touchscreen display
Android Auto (Wireless)
Built-in Bluetooth
Built-in WiFi
Back-up camera input
Connection to steering wheel controls
Wireless phone calling connection
I've looked at Crutchfield and it seems such a package would cost almost $400, but I'd have to create a new faceplate to fit around the single-din chassis of the new radio.
ALSO:
For higher quality sound, it seems I need to replace the factory speakers, which I understand are 4"x6" in the four doors, and ADD two 6"x9" "woofers" to the rear deck (none exist now, there are holes for 6"x9" which would need some kind of baffle).
What experience have you had in finding the appropriate gear for this car? What experience have you had installing the radio and the speakers? (I'm DIY) What are your warnings about what to watch out for?
