My phone connects right up with no problems for telephone service. However, if you want to use it for music, then I use a ROIDMI in the glove box outlet. This also allows a place to charge my phone as well.

I thought the glove box connections were a special order, I think with "Tech Package" in 2008s..... Course I am probably wrong.
Also, don't most iphoney users get an old 30-pin ipod connector to use in the center console?
Then ya have BOVEE
.... Tune-2-Air
.... Other ones I can't remember right now...
If I'm wrong about this stuff, just ignore me.

My 2008 has a cigarette lighter type outlet in the glovebox, not sure if it was special order. The ROIDMI goes in there and has 2 HDMI connections, which can be used to charge the I-phone. The RODMI transmits a signal to the radio, and you Bluetooth to the ROIDMI.

Clunky but it works.

I don't have any connections in my center console except to put the key fob into.

Hi all,

I just got the by 110reef mentioned Xiaomi ROIDMI delivered from Ali express (16.43 euro). Works swell with Spotify (iPhone 6) using a free FM canal of the car radio. Have to test if the handsfree phone is still available (I was still connected with bluetooth to the Jag so I dont think it will be a problem).
Thx for the tip 110 reef ;)

Grtz

Glad I could help!
