Trying to find a FM and satellite radio with blue tooth to replace the OEM radio in my 2002 xj8 VDP

Or how do I add a satellite radio.

Thank you,
Ken in WV

I went w/ Kenwood DPX501BT it has BT,satt, etc.

Or contact the eBay seller in the linked thread below, he has OEM head units modded w/ BT.

Here's a fascia you may need, I don't recommend the VZ401 Clarion... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-piece-165345/ ...my Sirius receiver is tucked in under my center council insert and the wiring simply skirts beside the J-gate. I ran the antenna from my rear dash down behind the back seat, under the carpet and up through the center council. I also nipped the corner of the center council tray to fit the USB in it.

If your using Sirius, and if your like me, you don't use terrestrial radio. But if you do and don't want the power antenna mast, here's what I did a number of years ago... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ve-one-103359/
The microphone will depend on the unit you purchase, most are built in, some bluetooth, some still tethered.
What do you mean, "...housing for the unit?", if your talking the head unit, I gave you that link.
