Default cell phone update

I just bought a 2002 xkr and it came with a jaguar cell phone under the armrest. Has anyone upgraded that for use with an Iphone that works with the cars bluetooth system?

With a 2002 it's possible but unlikely you have factory bluetooth. Widely discussed in the following thread:

If your car has a real phone in the console then it doesn't have Bluetooth from the factory. Relatively few cars actually did come with Bluetooth.

Fortunately, it isn't too difficult to remove the clunky old phone and add an aftermarket Bluetooth system yourself. If you check the FAQ there is an Audio section and Bluetooth section that links to a few different methods.

It was one of the first upgrades I did (along with connecting the iPhone to the Nav screen and adding an AUX in audio).
