I have a 2002 XKR convertible. I’d like to replace the AM/FM cassette Stereo receiver to a modern receiver, with or without cd, that is Bluetooth compatible, Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify etc. It looks like the current space is about 9 inches wide by 3 inches high. I’d appreciate any...

After having my 2010 XF for 7 months I’ve had enough with connecting my phone to the auxiliary blue tooth dongle for my music. It got to be too much to reconnect everytime I got back in my car plus when I got out of my car it wouldn’t stop my music from playing thus killing my battery. So to a...

Greetings fellow S-friends! I bought my first big cat just on Friday - a lovely 2002 4.2 V8 (ooh yeah!) And I love it. I have a bit of an audio system question though. So, one of the first things I want to do is upgrade the head unit to an after market one with bluetooth to stream my phone, and...

The old Jag stereo that was in my car when I bought her a few years back, was great, but the CD player never worked. What I decided to do, was install another stereo instead, and bring my X Type, at least a bit more up to date. What I installled, was a Chinese import 2Din Android touch screen...

Hello Jaguar Lovers. I seek help... I recently replaced my ‘99 XJ Sports battery and have ‘Enter Code’ on the sound system. Second hand car and I don’t have the security card with code. I contacted the local dealership and they got a code for me, however it doesn’t work! I also found four...

I recently upgraded the OEM stereo in my 2012 Jaguar XJL. Since it is the base portfolio model, it didn't come with a backup camera. With this install I gained the ability to connect an aftermarket backup camera viewable through the stereo receiver, as well as the ability to use Waze, Google...

Now that it's not going dark at three o'clock, or raining, or cold, I'd thought I'd take a look at improving my music/'phone/nav experience by installing my old (2016) Alpine Nav unit and heater controls from a non-nav XJ. I can't express how much easier it is to remove the centre console...

First post from a long time 'lurker'. Had my X-Type for quite some time and decided to install an aftermarket screen/stereo. I didn't fancy spending a ton of cash so went for this...

HI All I've got the XK8 in the local body shop for the planned sill repair and when it comes out, after I get the handbrake fixed (I broke it driving away without taking it off) I've got to do something with the radio/ariel. Its the original set up from when the car was made (1996) and when I'm...

I have a 2007 xk convert. the down buttons on my stereo settings wont work for the treble and subwoofer. they are pinned high so sound sucks and is annoying. I tried a hard battery reset (or so the shop told me they did) thinking that would go back to middle, factory settings but it did...

I want to replace the stereo on my 1999 S Type with a 2 din touch screen device. I have two questions; one, is it possible to do this and two if so where can I get a set of extremely clear instructions on how to do it?

Having a bit if trouble trying to find out any information about the connectors on the back of the Alpine Premium Radio. Posted in the ICE lounge, but wonder if the 2000 Alpine Premium System, yellow and white connectors, is a bit old hat for the posters in there. I've bought a new unit to...

I've had my XJR for a couple of weeks now, and although the sound quality from the Alpine system is impressive, the lack of modern functionality is less so. I do have the Motorola, or rather DID have, in the centre cubby, and although the unit is NAV compatible there's no Nav drive in the...

Hello,So now I did it and got myself an XKR, a 2000 in titanium grey in nice condition. There are some minor things I need to sort, one of which is to tidy up the aftermarket stereo installation. The PO had mounted two rather nice amplifiers on an MDF board where the spare wheel and toolkit is...

Hi, I've been the proud owner for a few weeks of a late 2002 Jaguar XK8, one of the first 4.2 models. I've looked at several posts on this forum and others regarding replacing the head unit with an aftermarket one, but most seem to go on to do speakers and amps etc. My (ideal) aim is to just...

Hi everyone, I recently bought a 51 plate 2.5 auto and I am going to replace the cassette stereo myself. I've bought all the right parts, but I have a question regarding the yellow / red power wires on the wiring harness included with the new stereo. For this car, should it be red-red...

Hi there Just decided to upgrade audio on my 04 estate, and would like to use double din unit. Don't want to watch DVDs in my car but i want Bluetooth conectivity. At the moment i got Parrot MKI9200 and its nice thing, but i want even better quality. (btw if anyone would like to buy...

Hi Can anyone assist please? I am sure this must have come up before or at least something similar. I have a 2000 XJR which has the standard sound system installed (ie not premium). The sound level on the driver's side (UK) is significantly lower than that on the passenger's side. Even if I...

Hi ya guys, I need help, i've got a 2001 Jaguar X-Type 2.5V6 that has a cassette player in it and wanted to upgrade the stereo to a multimedia one which has a nice screen but i'm not sure which ones will fit. I've been told no double din aftermarket ones will fit because they're all too deep and...

How do I identify make and model of my S-Type radio / CD player? I have Sat Nav in a 2006 (56) 2.7d S Type. Are there any details that I can get up on the sat nav screen or do I need to dig about in databases online? Original owner may have upgraded to a higher value sound system at purchase...
