HI all, I have recently purchased a pre-facelift 2010 XF which is Awesome!!! however, when I view the quick start manual it shows a phone option but it doesn't appear on my screen list under Audio, so I can't work out how to connect my phone via BlueTooth. I have been through the screen options time after time but still can't find an option to turn it on, Any Ideas? I ony have the quick start manual in English and cant read the Japanese full manual. (the Car is ex-Japan but everything on the touch screen is in English). Cheers Alex

 

The phone would be under Comms not Audio

 

Agreed. Press the 'home' button underneath the screen to get back to the main menu. On the left are a set of options (one of which is Audio) - you should also see 'Comms' after that. That's where you connect and access the phone functionality. You need to pair the phone using bluetooth first, then it should autoconnect every time you start the engine (as long as you enable the autoconnect functionality in the phone itself).

 

No comms option on the start screen

 

Thanks guys I may have led you down the garden path slightly what I mean is there is no comms option the tab does not show, I think it might be turned off? Any ideas on how to turn it on, also there is no voice when I press the button on the steering wheel there is no bleep to start the function??

 

I couldn't turn off the Comm stuff on my 2009 nor can I on my 2012. It is possible that the Japanese XF models may have required an extra cost option to obtain the Comm stuff. Perhaps checking the VIN with Jaguar Customer Service may verify if the Comm was an option.

 

Hi there Probe

I have found this old thread of yours and have exactly the same problem as you - I also bought a car into NZ from Japan and also have a gap on the touch screen menu where either a comms or phone option should sit. Given my car has nearly every additional factory extra I find it hard to imagine they would not have added the bluetooth for hands-free phone capability as well although I was under the impression this was a standard feature on the XF.

I didn't notice any answer posted on here that seemed to help with your issue - did you have any luck in the end resolving it?

Cheers

hey all - I've just taken possession of a 2008 XF and have found they same as above with no "Comms" or "Phone" option available.
Keen to hear if there was ever an answer.
Interestingly, mine was also initially from Japan.
