So, it doesn't work with a 4S directly, nor with a 6 via a Lightning-to-32-pin adapter, nor with the WMA1000. That suggests it isn't the connected devices, but something wrong with either the cable or the Auxiliary Input Panel. I had some issues with my iPhone playback and the charging function stopped working, so they replaced the panel - problem solved.

 

I took a lazy and cheap option and got an FM transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It has a cable interface to my Android phone and also a USB port. Quality isn't great but between engine and road noises, I'm not sure that I could tell the difference with the more sophisticated solutions. It plays Pandora and music stored on the phone just fine. $10 for the transmitter and 5 minutes to get the FM station set.

 

Believe you are right. The vehicle is still under warranty and plan to take to dealer at this point.


Thanks for all your follow up - agree either a bad cable or Port - they can troubleshoot and replace at this point


Keep you posted

 

Yah, the iPhone (any version) should be seen as an iPod by the car when connected via the cable. And playback in that configuration should always work.

Might be helpful to bring your WMA1000 along to the dealership and try your setup with other used Jags on site...

Good luck!

Good Suggestion, thanks Rich

Good News to share with everyone. The problem with my vehicle was a bad I Pod cable that was in the vehicle. Had the dealer check out today and they replaced the cable with a new one under warranty


My I Phone 6 and WMA1000 is functioning like a charm when in the I Pod mode. Runs off the steering wheel controls and everything


Just FYI and thanks for all your knowledge on the threads

The cable is very stiff, which means it tends to get bent awkwardly at the end, and I think that imposes stress that tends to contribute to failures.

 

Excellent news, good to hear!


Rich

 

I was told in my case one of the PINS was bent. Glad it was a easy fix and everything else checked out


Thanks

 

2010 XKR owner here interested on the subject, but a little late to the party.

Now I see that they have Tune2Air WMA3000.

has anyone tried this model?

 

I have the optional Jaguar Audio Connectivity Module in my 2008 XKR, and one of these plugged into it:



It works great.

If the 2010 XKR has a way to get an analog audio signal into the system (e.g. an apple connector adaptor) then you wouldn't need the Jaguar Audio Connectivity Module.

 

Do the bluetooth connections like this one mentioned above, Tune2Air WMA1000, connected directly to the 30-pin iPod cord, charge while connected to the 30 pin or do you have to remove it to charge it?

 

Three entire pages and nobody said the obvious best choice;
Buy a five dollar USB Flash Drive and put all your music on it. THEN, stick the drive into the USB port and LEAVE it there (until you want to put another couple thousand songs on it) and it will play flawlessly. Why go about all the horrible bugginess of an iPhone or the hassle of plugging/turning on every phone? Keep your phone in your pocket where is SHOULD be and BT it with your phone system only. The flash will always be there and it interfaces perfectly. I have about ten thousand songs on my Flash and it's not even 1/4 full yet.

 

On the other side of this-I can't believe anyone still buys music or downloads it. I literally stream everything I listen to from the internet. I don't think I've actually purchased a song in 5 years, probably longer. I run Kodi on my phone and listen to whatever I want to listen to.

 

On the way other side I only use the AM/FM and maybe a CD once in a while.

 

What no Sinatra on Sirious 71??

 

Buy? Who BUYS? All 10k songs I have were free. Between spending a couple minutes to burn a few hundred off CDs a decade ago, I've gotten every one for zero dollars. Streaming is weak (take 'weak' whichever way[s] you wish), and then you have to deal with stuff you don't like and those idiotic commercials. Me, I have nothing but the music I WANT to have and ZERO commercials. Also, no using a phone via Bluetooth or tethered, which is archaic. Mine is a part of the car.

 

I'm not that old , hahahah

 

This is a great solution for music, actually I have a spare 160gb laptop hard drive and a USB to Sata adapter that works perfect.

The problem we have is the Wife has the XK as a daily driver and listens to Audible audiobooks. They play through the phone app and keeps the previous listening position, plus the file has DRM specific to Audible. So no direct play from memory stick or hard drive.

My best solution so far is bluetooth streaming receiver hooked to a RF Transmitter in the glovebox. Since it is an audiobook no problem for quality.

 

Hey, so I have a 2007 xk model, without the iPod or usb inputs and I want to play music through my iPhone, is there a solution?
