I have a new to me 2004 XKR with the original entertainment system. The car has the changer and satnav. I'd like to keep the original system, but I would like to add and AUX capability - bluetooth or USB connectivity ideally. I've poked around the web a bit, but haven't really found anything that looks like it would work. I've heard of an audio connectivity module from Jaguar, but they appear to be pretty rare. There is a company I found on eBay that will add bluetooth to Porsche OEM head units that work pretty slick. It auto-pairs to your device and overrides audio input from the radio or CD player. Is there something similar for Jaguar OEM units? Or anything else?

Thanks!

 

I have this from Discount Car Stereo: https://www.discountcarstereo.com/bth-jag98r.html
Very happy with it, easy to install. I use it for Bluetooth only, not USB charging.

 

I used this one :

excellent audio. Perfect with iPhone (Bluetooth).

Thanks guys - these look like good options.

 

My solution was a bit (!) more elaborate, combining a module from Discount Car Stereo with a product called NavTool that mirrors a smartphone screen on the satnav screen. Here is the link:https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ay-how-200834/

 

I purchased the A2DIY-JAG98 (now BTH-JAG98). The Bluetooth streaming audio works well, hands free phone though not so much. Perhaps there have been some updates which better support handsfree phone use if you want that as well.

 

Thanks guys - I went with the BTA-JAG98. Hands free phone function seems unnecessary in a convertible. I ordered this before I saw RayR's conversion - very nicely done. They have an android solution now, so maybe if the JAG98 doesn't work out...

 

you’ll find that getting the amp / CD changer stack tilted outward will be the hardest part of the installation . The rest of the install is a simple “follow the directions” task and takes only a few minutes.

i have to say I’m impressed that this inexpensive electronic device has been trouble free and lasted so long, 7.5+ years and counting. If it dies tomorrow I’ll gladly replaced it with the same model.

Good to know
