Has anyone got any experience of this bluetooth kit for the X350?

Jaguar Parrot MKi9100 Music Bluetooth Car Kit + Radio Lead SOT-082 [MKi9100+SOT-082/86133] - £138.95

If so, could it fit in the ashtray (whilst still being able to close the ashtray)?

Or is there a similar / better option out there?

I have been wondering this myself.

Looks like the best way to go is to add the module. In my e46 I just added an aux cable, simply plug it in on the rear of the head unit, then placed a hidden aux jack to plug in the phone inside the storage compartment above the ashtray. Stealth.

Not so easy on the Jaaag unfortunately.

Interested to hear replies.

I did exactly the same on my old E38, with the aux socket being accessible in the glove compartment.

To be honest, and aux socket would be fine for hooking up an iPod. Not a simple fit I'm assuming?

Only options on our Jags, unfortunately, are installing Bluetooth/PSE into the component stack (as well as a mic), or doing something like the Parrot via FM Modulator. If you can find the factory components, it's probably better as the car should be prewired. But its phone functions only.

For music streaming, you'll have to find a Jaguar ACM or something FM modulated.
