Hello I'm new to the group. I just purchased a 2010 xk coupe. I previously had a 2001 xjr. I've always loved jaguar for some unexplainable reason. Now I think I have one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
I am a car stereo installer by trade. What I am trying to do is send an AUX signal into the factory radio. I have a usb and ipod connection in my center console. I ordered an aux, lightning adapter from Amazon and bnb it doesn't work. It charges my po hone but that's it. It doesn't detect when something is plugged in. I have access to the wiring diagram for the plug but I'm not completely sure how it works. There are 2 detect wires. I'm just not sure if they need to see + or - or connect to each other. Has anyone else had success with this?
NavTV and NavTool make interfaces that add an AUX through the MOST network but I dont want to spend that much if I dont have to.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks but I want a wired input. Wired will always be the best option.

 

In the search box in the upper right hand corner of this page type in connecting Ipod or some such thing to the audio/infotainment system and you will find several threads on this subject. at least one of them will provide you guidance.

 

 

This is what you need. AUX input.

 

Cambo he is asking for the wired input to the amp.
Your response reminds me of this.

 

So you stand to financially benefit from this knowledge. Fair enough.
What should we charge you?

 

Actually I never thought about that side. I've been installing for 15 years and this is the 4th jag that I've had in my bay. Two of the cars were my own. Several European cars have this 20 pin connector that would be a logical input if itll work. Personally I dont want to pay $350 to add AUX

 

I can show you, unfortunately the equipment and materials and time cost about $4k to do the job correctly.
But you will be able to do that for many other cars equipped with Harman heads.
Your customers will spend $1500.
Give up while you are ahead, there is no way to go into the unit and get good results. Its designed to lock aftermarket manufacturers (like myself) out.

Do what the others have described, use an ipod. Or figure out a way to upgrade the bluetooth module to 5.0 and use a 5.0 transmitter.

 

I've notice that the call quality is very poor

 

 

He wants an AUX input. You add three wires to the grey connector at the back of the head unit, turn on the AUX input with SDD, and done.

 

No dude. As you can tell by his handle, he is serious about sound. Spotify and the bluetooth standard from 4 years ago is complete garbage. FM transmitter is even step down from that ****.
Why arent you pumping iron this morning.

 

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a SDD?

 

 

Ok where can I buy this AUX cable from ??

 

Does anyone knows where can i buy just the aux cable so i can hook it up in the back of the radio the dealership wants too much to install the bovee blootooth in my vehicle if i can purchase the cable i can do the whole job my sell can someone please tell me where can i buy this aux cable from thanks everyone

 

Holy Punctuation, Batman.
Anyway, to use an audio cable you need the Accessory Aux Input installed in your car.
Any old audio cable. Costs about a buck at many online stores.

 

can you please tell me which aux cable it its or where can i buy it thanks for your help!!!
