Default New Antenna for XK series

Cat lovers-

I am looking to replace the old school antenna that comes stock with the XK series. I have called several audio specialists, they say that this is a common procedure, however they can only install and I would have to bring the new antenna to them.

The antenna I am looking for is a modern looking one with a short base and length. Something that looks like the one linked below.

Has anyone done this? Any suggestions?

Additionally-

Has anyone replaced the old school cassette plater with a IPOD/MP3 dock? If so, what product did you use?

Please help fellow cat lovers

Respectfully,
The Grey Man

No reason you couldn't remove the existing antenna and put something else in it's place. Many of us have put a switch on the antenna to keep it lowered when using anything other than the tuner. See: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...hlight=antenna.
Replacing the head unit with a standard DIN headend is quite doable. I did mine last month and you can see and read about it here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=38499
