can anybody tell me how much it would cost to make the phone option work in my 03 x-type? I have no idea what is there for a phone other than a pair of buttons with a phone on them. When i push the phone button it says no phone so i assumed I dont have that option? What do I need to make it work?

 

I believe you have to pair your cell phone with the controls via bluetooth. Not all cell phones are compatible.

 

does the x type have bluetooth? because i have that same function and i dont know what to do with it!

 

Here is the proceedure from my handbook.

 

thanks for that handbook page, i'll give it a go pretty soon!

 

Just to be lear, you must have the phone option installed in your car or it won't work. All cars have those phone button icons. If you hit the button and teh dispaly reads "no phone" you do not have that option on yor car.

 

yeah i tried it and i dont think i have that option.

 

I've had an xtype without the phone option, and now have one with the phone. the easiest visual way to tell is that the cars with the phone option have a small mic installed on the roof, on the driver's side. The "no phone" message will show on cars with the phone option too if the phone has not been paired yet, so that is not a reliable way of knowing whether you have the option.

 

Not sure exactly, but I think I remember hearing it's like $800 to have the dealer install it.

 

I have a 2004 x-type and I don't think it has the phone option. I do have the microphone on the driver's side of the rear view mirror, but I think that is there because the car was pre-wired for Jaguar Voice, phone, and cd changer. I have the sat nav and when I press phone button by the touch screen, it says no phone fitted. I can't tell for sure because I don't have the manuals yet. The dealer has them ordered. I would love to have the bluetooth option, but I am not sure it would be feasible because of the equipment needed.

 

Considering my car says no phone when I try the directions that were given I am assuming my car doesnt have this option. Would that statement be correct?

 

Yes, you do not have the phone option.

 

You can install a blu-tooth package via Motorola (what I have) or Parrot. There is a company in Florida that have the correct harness, that will send the audio through your radio's speakers-and mute them when a call comes in.

It will not activate the phone push buttons though.

 

Can you give me the part number I need and a list of what to buy to get mine working? I know I am asking for a lot but it would be a great help. Did you install it yourself if so how har was it to do. And my last questions is would I be better off to get the radio that has this option? I have the unit that plays mini and regular disk and the sound is really not that good. I have seen where others have added subs and so on but I really hate to do tht and would rather have the oem equipment but I am not sure what I need to buy and hat is involved in the install and set up. Thanks all of you for all the help. This is a great sight with some very knowledgable people that have already saved me a ton of money. Thaks again

 

not so fast! I have the phone option, but sometimes it says "No Phone" when there's a problem with the bluetooth. Sometimes I have to shut off the car and take out the key, then restart and it links with the phone properly.

Still, if nothing happens after a few tries I would guess that you dont have the phone option installed.

 

Shaynes,

Are you in the U.S.?

I put in Motorola IHF1000. You'll need a harness from: info@ nicestuffonline.com

The harness numbers for my X 04, are: 68148 + 68846

Check with them to make SURE the harness will fit your car. Tell them them the exact model of your car.

The install took about 30 minutes. If you'll follow the forum's quick link on removing the radio, it will save you a lot of time.

If you decide to actually do this, let me know, and I'll walk you through it.

 

Yes I am. Thanks for the part numbers and all the help. I have one issue I need to take care of on my car first but as soon as I get it taken care of I will be installing the parts for the phone. You were a big help thanks again and I will be back in touch when I start the install.

 

My 03 cam with the dealer installed phone and voice...it worked well UNTIL the US went to digital (or analog) THe phone system is now obsolete. For the sum of $1500, I can get the correct phone and stuff like that. It worked from my Nav. For the sum of $75, I can (and did) get a bluetooth for my visor. Not as much fun, but a hell of a lot less expensive.
