again this is awesome...you really need to sell a kit for this...

 

Brilliant, ... Very neat, a perfect job, ... Well done!

Giving me idea's now lol, ... A nice little SatNav will go there as well ;-)

 

Mph0123 - you can start here to see what we do on the XJ's....you should also check the S Type forum and do a search...

Not as neat as pd_regan's install, but I'm quite happy with it.
I used the Dice DCR 300 and fitted it in the center vents.
(I had to cut out quite a bit of material there.)



Cheers,

@pd_regan

That's a great idea. I've just bought some vents and a craft knife.

Do you have any advice on getting your device to talk to the CD and does it utilise the phone system for calls?

Very smart install there.

Doug.

 

Awesome job... the quality and seamless integration, cosmetically and electronically are awesome.

Keep us posted if you wnat to do a few more... I'd sure bite! :-)

Awesome mod....talented guy.

 

i would easily buy one of these as well excellent work you've done here

 

Now were cooking.... Satnav sounds just right...

I was chatting to the wife about where to put the garmin which I might add looks like a lot of clutter and loose wires.... Not my idea of my intention with my x-type.... Certainly worth exploring this option...

 

This is by far the nicest iPod intergration I've seen. Very well executed! Now it made me think,.......another phone line (cheap), an iPhone (or similar sized smart phone), and my 'pocket' phone forwarded to the one installed in the Cat if I don't answer, by.....let's say the third ring, the phone already has voice recognition and navigation, all the iPod functions (with tons of music),......hmmmm. VERY appealing.

That would solve several of my issues. I don't like aftermarket radios! No matter how nice is the replacement done, shiny, "modern", multicolored radios, don't fit in the interior of my Cat, there is no NAV either,......this could just be a solution. The only problem is,.....I am VERY good with mechanics (cars, bikes, airplanes, guns, you name it), and electronics (computers, phones, etc),.....I suck in building model airplanes (learned this a long time ago!), glueing things together, and severely lack patience. I would love to have it, but I can't do it.

So I'll keep what I am doing now,.....talking on the phone when cops are not around, and listen to the Cat's engine instead of the crappy stereo. Unless............you want a week of vacation in SoCal, filled with horseback riding on the trails, and shooting!

 

I wonder what an ipod is ? Something that makes the car run better I suppose.

 

This looks great !!! I had a 98 XJ6 that I sold a few years back and I just picked up a 03 XJ8 and I was trying to figure out how wire a ipod in like this. Can you tell me how this is connected / wired to the head unit ?

Have you done anything with the phone jack to conect a iphone by any chance? Is it possible?

Cheers
