Hi everybody,
Since a few weeks I'm a proud owner of a beautiful Daimler Double Six (LWB) from 1997. The care is in its original state, including the Alpine AJ9500R and the Premium Sound Package with subwoofer etc. It's the model with the individual rear seats.
I have been looking for a long time how to integrate a iPhone/Bluetooth connection without butchering the CD changer etc., and in the end I found the correct cable set to connect a Parrot MKi9200 (Autolead SOT-098 plus 06-429B extension cable).
The problem is that the extension cable has to be rooted into the cabin, and it is pretty thick (ca. 10mm diamter) and has a huge connector (some 10 x 40 mm).
Of course, I could drill a hole in the back between the rear seats. But I was wondering if anyone knows of a less brutal way to get the cable inside the cabin? I've only found some hints on routing it in a X308, but they referred to a thin cable with a small jack.
Thanks and best regards
Martin

 

From where to where, would help.

But, there is a route available through the C pillars from the boot.

Pig of a job, as a good chunk of the interior needs to come out.

At all costs, avoid drilling the bulkhead, it provides fire separation in the event of a major OOOOPPPS.

Your 10x40 can be twisted so that you have 40x10 which should pass, but it is tight.

Others will have more experience with this model.

 

From where the power amplifier and CD changer sit (left hand side of the trunk) to any place of the middle console inside the cabin. I think that I'll place the Parrot Blue Box (where the other end of the extension cable needs to be connected to) somewhere between the gear shift and the Alpine, there is plenty of space.

There seems to be a way to route the cable taking out the seats, but I still couldn't figure out how to remove those individual back seats with all their electrical equipment - if someone has a hint...?

If it has the power rear seats, perhaps you could reference JTIS for the X308 as it will be very similar.

 

Thanks Plums - I didn't know this Workshop Manual for the 308 - this is great stuff on 2.500 pages! BTW, even if the differences are not too important: Is there also such a manual for the X300? The (scanned) one included in the X300 literature pack is quite different, less explicit, less illustrations etc.
Anyway - still hoping for the decisive hint to find a gap between trunk and cabin without taking out most of the interior.

Martin

 

Well you could always be original and run it out of the front window, along the roof line and then into the trunk.

For even more downloads, follow the link in my signature, we have tons of X 300 stuff.

 

I was actually planning to place two telegraph posts (one in the bootlid, the other in the bonnet) and tensiion the cable between them - so I could dry my swim suite when driving home
I have been studying the magnificant X300 document collection even before I bought the DDS - very helpful indeed. But it seems that there is no such workshop manual for the X300 as the one I found for the X308 (XJ8 XJR X308 Workshop Manual [Jaguar XJ8 XJR X308]). On example: I have to replace the headlight Powerwash jet - I could not find any reference in the service manuals for the X300, while the replacement is perfectly described in the 308 repair manual (not that it was very difficult to do it without instructions...).

Tried to find a way for the cable yesterday, but the trick described for the 308 does not seem to work for the X305.

I also thought on this, but yesterday I noticed that the only separation between the upper side of the fuel tank and the cabin is the paper of the HK subwoofer and its grill. In other words: The speaker (original premium sound package) is placed directly over the fuel tank, you can touch it from inside the trunk. So perhaps another little hole in this section does not make things much worse, or do I miss a point?

Now you are thinking.

Hmmm, I always understood that the fuel tank in a passenger vehicle must be seperate to the passenger compartment.

But if your's has a great hole supplied by the factory, then it looks like I misunderstood.

If you do have to drill, then protect with a rubber grommet.

I've got the X300 workshop manuals, just need to work out how to upload them. 250Mb uncompressed!!! 201Mb Win Rar. Our individual file size is limited to 250Mb, so right on the limit.

Give me a little time to find a solution.

 

Do you referr to these documents:
X300 Workshop Manual [Jaguar X300 XJ6 XJ12 XJR] ?
If so, I believe they are included in the "Jaguar X300 Series Workshop Manual" linked from this thread. If not, I am very much interested in having them - thanks in advance.

Martin

 

The file we have is the one supplied by Oubadah.

To compare, what does yours show on the first page after clicking the Start.pdf?

It should not show any reference to a commercial file seller.

I've now better placed it in the X300 downloads section, it was there, just burried.

Now it is in the root directory of X300 Downloads.

 

Yes, this is the one I have, i.e. the one which is in the X300 collection on Mediafire shows the Jaguar Heritage Logo on the first page when launching start.pdf and has a yelow post-it by "Administrator" saying "Version 1.1 April 2002".

What I mean is that it does not compare to the X308 workshop manual which seems much more complete etc (look at post#5 in https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-manual-68307/)
I was wondering whether there is a similar manual for the X200/305.
