Salman, I don't know about the revers camera, but for ipod connectivity, you'll need to order a jaguar OEM part called an Audio Connectivity Module, the most current version is part number C2C40513. I just bought one from a dealer in Ohio here in the US for $340 shipped. Obviously, you'll need another, more close, source.

Here is a link to a DIY installation by one of our members, if you choose to do the work yourself. It isn't rocket science, and instructions included are decent.

On the backup camera, you'll need to get a video switch that automatically switches to the camera input when a signal is detected (from Reverse gear selection) and reverts back to the vehicle's screen when you take it out of reverse. The PAC VCI-X basically intercedes along the car's RGB leads into the screen (yes, more than likely, cut and splice is required, unless you build a custom harness). BTW, do not use the VCI-X2, its video output brightness is dramatically less than the original version...HUGE difference, trust me.
