What are these things in the glove box?
I have a 07 XK that came with a 2011 owners manual so there is no explanation on some of the things in the car.
The car has a Ipod connection in the armrest but I noticed these connection in the glove box. One looks like a Stereo input. Not sure what the other ones could be ?

Cee Jay is mostly correct, it's for the AUX input, which is provided by the ACM (Audio Control Module), which wasn't standard equipment on the '07, but I added it to my car last fall, but haven't been to a dealer yet to have it activated.
That top button is an input select button, to choose between the iPod cable and the RCA/USB connectors.
Some folks put a memory stick full of tunes on the USB port.

I'm one of those guys that have over 8,000 songs on a USB stick, but it's a factory setup on my 2010, inside the armrest.

I've never used this setup...

You can find them online from Jaguar parts dealers, and they pop up on eBay occasionally.
There's at least one on there now: Jaguar XK8 07 Up Audio Connectivity Module Kit C2P16491 | eBay
Just make sure to get one that has all the cables, or you may not be able to connect it to the radio unit.
