Installed Bluetooth streaming adapter for infotainment system + 12v battery.
Click here for original post about this car
In 2007, The Jaguar XK came with a 6 disc CD changer, (they did offer a factory USB Aux input for the sound system a model year later, I think) Mine did not have that.
However there was an aftermarket option available. I had to have the dealer activate the aux input software with their factory scan tool. That was $165 labor.
Then I bought this item for $129. Came with good installation directions
As you can see in these photos the stereo is integrated into the infotainment console, so replacing it with a single DIN or double DIN is not an option. the harness above is inserted between the stereo connector and the wire harness with a bluetooth receiver attached.
The infotainment console needed to be pulled out to get at the connector. and the glove box needed to be dropped to get at either the ground, or power wire, I had to connect to. So now, (like all other modern cars) I can stream music from any app on my iPhone through the cars sound system.
Dropped the glove box to access this power or ground wire on the glovebox light. the adapter has the red wire to run over and connect.
also just recently changed the 12 volt battery. it sits in the back next to the Nav DVD player. The wires coming off are for the battery tender.
Costs on this post:
Jaguar dealer labor (AUX enable software install) $165
Bluetooth streaming adapter $129
Battery $160

I changed the wheel and tire package from 20" Sentas to these 18" Venus, for a more "rough road" friendly sidewall. More on that next time.
