I am a new owner of a 2013 XK, how do I get my I phone to play music through the car stereo? My phone works for phone calls through blue tooth already. Unfortunately I did not get the owners manual with the car

 

You'll need an aftermarket adapter to play music from your phone via Bluetooth. See:

As an alternative to Bluetooth streaming music, I use an ancient iPod Nano 5th Generation as my dedicated music player. I did that in 2011 and it still works great. See:

On screen press audio then on left side of screen press my music on center screen press Iphone I play stored music and Sirius from the car my12

 

I don't have a my music option, but thanks

 

Do you have the Apple dock? It would be located inside the centre console armrest. If you don't there's no way to do it without adding it to the car, if you do have it, then pug in your phone and select it as a source from the TSD.

 

What is a tad?

 

Tsd

 

touch screen display, where your source selection's located such as radio, CD, AUX etc

 

I have a similar question for my 2009 XK. Since MUSIC thru the factory audio system is reliant on each year, has anyone created a table of what functionality is standard for each year. For example, I just learned today, through this wonderful forum, that my 2009 has a USB port and an iPod port (NO, not an iPhone as I understand it)?

I mean, ideally, there would/should be iPhone is a perfect music source device ... or some magical adapter module ... but, I think we are into the whole Apple Car Play threads and that's not plug-n-play!

 

iPod, iPhone, same thing - thank you Apple for being consistent.

 

WOW, great information!!! So, what are the steps to play music from an iPhone 11/12/13 to my Jaguar 2009 XK's "native factory sound system"?

Oh sorry, NOT my thread ... and, to the thread starter's 2013!

 

You just plug it in and play music….if you’re unfamiliar with Apple
devices you’ll need Apple’s genuine lightning adapter for the Apple dock. Once connected select Apple Music or any stored music on your phone. If you don’t yet have any , you’ll need to get some.

 

thank ypu

 

I found this for reference https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204566

I found this attached PDF but not sure if someone else already posted this as I have bounced between various threads ... it really helped me understand.

I have a 2009 XK OTS and personally found this passage quite good

"You can simultaneously connect an iPod and a USB device to the portable audio interface and switch between them using the touch-screen. Select iPod or USB to switch between modes."

 

Thanks Jahummer ... so, for a connection to a iPhone, which Apple lightning cable do I need? Although I have lots of .MP3 files, I'd prefer to use my iPhone 12 as a portable Music storage device.

Do we use the iPod 30 pin or the USB dock connection?

 

Apple MD824ZM/A

Apple dock is 30-pin, not USB.

 

OK, thanks jahummer, now we are cooking ... but, says only .2 meter in length, but my iPhone is vent mounted?

 

30 pin to lightening adapter plus a lightening extension cable as long as you need.

 

It’s meant to sit in the armrest where the dock’s located. That’s the only choice unless you use a Bovee Bluetooth transmitter which’s already 30-pin dock ready.

 

Thanks guys ... I found this on a different thread, but this is very exciting
Any comments on audio quality over BT versus a cable?
