The Ipod lead that comes standard with the 2010 XK in the center console is missing in my car. Does anyone know where I can get one without going through Jaguar? ($150!) Thanks all.

 

I have one for my 2009 XKR......I don't use it, and don't think it has ever been used. I don't have an Ipod. Might entertain offers if you can't find one.

 

Boca:

Looks like best deal is eBay....$59.99

Jaguar XJ XK XF iPod iPhone Cable Land Rover LR4 Range Rover Sport New | eBay

Hope this helps.....you would save $90.00 vs buying from Jaguar dealer for $150.00

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Richzak. I will still need another adapter (from apple) to connect it to my Ipod shuffle so not sure if it's even worthwhile getting. Going to call the seller and see if I have any luck. I'm not holding my breath.

 

There are 2 different OEM Ipod connector cables, so be sure to get the newest version. Ipod connection became standard equipment starting with the 2009 4.2L model but that year's cable did not simultaneously charge during playback. Jaguar introduced a new cable with charging starting with the 2010 (5.0L) models.

So, in order to charge my Ipod in my 2009, I had to either buy the 2010-up OEM cable (expensive) or a Scosche adapter (inexpensive). I bought the Scosche on Amazon and it works fine. See: http:// https://www.jaguarforums.com...nano-6g-50122/

If you buy an aftermarket cable, make sure it charges as well as plays back. Also, Apple changed the Ipod connector on thir most recent models, so you will need an adapter to connect a new model Ipod to the Jaguar cable.

 

Or, you could just listen to the sweet music from your exhaust.

 

Go on Ebay. I bought one from an Ebay (Hong Kong) vendor several months ago and it does the whole thing; plays music and charges. you may even be able to get one that fits the new apple plug.

 

Another surprise. As I mentioned in the original post, when I purchased my car from an out of state dealership, it did not come with the Ipod connector. I called the dealer last week to mention the cable was missing and to my surprise, the new factory cable arrived at my doorstep this morning! Some car dealerships do have integrity!

 

Good for you. There are honest and forthright sales people and dealerships out there. So glad your porblem was resolved.

 

Just to put it out there in case anyone else needs it. You can just use regular charger/connector for an iphone/ipod.

And, that can be had for cheap. It charges the phone as well.



On another note - Richard, take a look in here. You had asked about the wheel on the XF forum. They are called XO. XO Wheels - Home

 

Executive:

I spoke with a wheel specialist about the XO Tokyo wheel 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10....BUT because my 2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Edition has the 6 piston Alcon brake caliper they will not fit. I was informed that an aftermarket wheel in size 20 for my car will be impossible to find because of the oversize brake calipers. They suggested a 3 pc forged wheel, but I don't want to spend $1000+ per wheel, and I don't want to go to a 21" wheel (there are plenty that would fit).

So, I have to live with the OEM Jaguar Selena 20" wheel which I just don't like the look. Nor would I be willing to change out any brake calipers to a regular size.

Love the XKR Portfolio Edition, just don't like the wheels.

 

That's too bad.... Seems like whichever way you turn for wheels, you run into barrier.
When i read on their site, the Tokyo wheels were said to be available with offset as low as 15 up to 55+. I thought to myself, perfect and those would work as you needed a low offset wheel to fit over the calipers.
