Do you know if that will allow me to play music (bluetooth media) my android phone?

 

 

 

No

 

is there a compatible bluetooth module that will allow me to use my phone for calls and music as well?

 

Your profile says you have a 2010 XFR, i'm quite sure that will have the Portable Audio Interface, with the USB and iPod connections in the armrest.

In which case use a WMA1000 in the iPod input, and you have bluetooth audio streaming....

 

Regards the phone book/contacts list, there's more at play than just the bluetooth module, I reckon the head unit has to support this stuff too. Prior to my current 5.0 XKR I had a 2008 4.2 XKR, when I got my last phone (Nexus 5X) it wouldn't pair with the car at all. I swapped out the bluetooth module for one of the latest ones and the phone then worked and I got the battery and signal strength icons on the display, also had the Last 10 calls lists but still no access to the contacts. Now on the 5.0 car I get all of that plus the Names list. My 5.0 car is a fairly early example (late 2009 UK model) and I haven't checked so I'm guessing here but I reckon the bluetooth module is a version or two older than the one I installed in my old car.

Again, probably not enough data to draw a proper conclusion but I did find phone functionality with the 4.2 and a much later bluetooth module to be a bit flaky sometimes. A few times per week I'd start the car, the phone would pair and "dock" with the car and then almost immediately the car would say the phone had not connected and I had to hit the retry (or similar) button to sort it out. No such issue with the 5.0.

Trading up from a 4.2 to a 5.0 was probably not the most efficient way to resolve the issue but it does come with certain other benefits.

 

Where exactly is the control module located at?

 

I dunno 8bit. I swapped out my BT module from and 07 and replaced it with an 09. I have all features, including directory. Phones used were/are, Motorola G (which was very old tech and I didn't expect much), Nexus 6P, Samsung Galaxy S8 plus.

 

That's even more freaky. One thing I will say regards Android, the bluetooth support is a holy mess. I have other bluetooth things I use with Android phones and tablets and most of them behave weird with some or all of the devices, yet most play nice with a Windows PC or an Apple iOS or OS X device. Often I'd find, when a new Android release started to hit my devices, that some or all of the BT gadgets would stop working properly too.

EDIT to add - do I not remember rightly, you told me you swapped out your touch screen system in your car for a later one too? Could be newer than the one I had in my old 2008 4.2?

 

Oh good catch. I did install an XF head unit in my car and flashed it to 09 XK. That was after updating the BT unit but the Samsung Galaxy S8 plus is reading the newer head unit. I agree with you the BT is a funky technology.

Find where the battery is in the trunk compartment up against the back seat. You have to undo 4 screws and remove a cover and then the ledge where the battery is on the left has the modules on the same ledge to the right. In the past I've found it easy to work in that area by putting my convertible top halfway (keep the motor running or you will lose hydraulics on the top and it will fall closed) so I can reach in and remove the 4 screws and the cover. Otherwise, you go in through the trunk and work on it that way. Hope you are flexible.

 

Hi together, I have a xk convertible built in 2007. is there a possibility that you can transfer music with bluetooth?

 

Yes you have my tuto (sorry is french) . On the 14 pin grey connector behind radio you have three pins for input audio.
You buy a bluetooth module, you connect it on 12V and audio on grey connector.
It"s necessary activate AUX on you car with SDD.
After you have music in streaming !!

Much thanks for any guidance...and hope you are well.

 

Hello There. Great, love the forum for chaps like you. thank you for this information. I have been searching to find out of a later model BTM will work. You are confirming it does and the screen interface is improved as well on the 2012 module.

So, will be on the hunt now for a 2012 BTM. Many thanks. Rick.

 

Thanks again to all on the forum who have had to deal with defective BT units. I just found one on ebay for $140.00 and took a chance that it would be a good one - got lucky I guess it works great. I replaced the (most likely) original one in my 2007 XK coupe (6w83-10D893-AF) and the newer one also has the battery and status as well.

BTW - my phone is a Samsung A15 5G with Android 14 and paired with no problem and connected automatically with contacts, last 10 numbers called etc.

When I changed my Bluetooth module I noticed there is a third module of some kind in the stack with the Bluetooth unit and the Nav Dvd player, it sits on top of the Bluetooth unit. Anyone know what this module does? There is a small white plug that looks like is should be plugged into this unit but not sure what the function is.

The other unit is the satellite radio, and ignore the white plug, it was used while your car was shipped from the factory.
