Hi Alasdair,
Connecting into the wire shouldnt be a problem, finding it might be :-). Also I might have to go back on my easy installation comment because to do so you will need access to the loom, and the easiest way to do that is by removing the bulkhead panelling. The wire you are looking for (according to the wiring diagram ) is a green/white one. I think it does go via the central tunnel near the unit, it definitely appears in the rear luggage section on the passenger side (RHD car). Its just a case of getting the multi meter out and finding it. Once I get some time I will see if I can find it.

thanks to Cambo for the info and part numbers
i optioned the 700w and never been happy with it, i'm too old in my late 30s to listen to music loud, but i would appreciate some more clarity from a higher grade speaker and for an easy pnp install i'll do it
I ended up ordering these speakers new from brit-car, i used all jag part numbers for consistency, pricing was same as the LR numbers except for the midrange (yellow cone) which was more expensive by around 50%
no stranger to focal bam as i pulled my entire interior out of my evo x and covered every square inch and piece of plastic trim to get rid of the rattles, will be a fun project
still on the fence about the carplay modules, not really keen on the adhoc functionality and loss of steering controls. atm i find it easier keeping my iphone plugged in and just saying hey siri to load a podcast or music - still waiting on someone to post how google earth looks on the oe screen, if it's high enough quality to look as good as it does on the virtual cockpit on my rs3, that may sway me
fyi (prices in GBP)
C2D2076 LOUDSPEAKER 2x 126.74
C2D24861 LOUDSPEAKER 8 INCH BASS - FRONT DOOR - PREMIUM - JAGUAR - XJ FROM VIN V89753 2x 178.60

The AUD kit does seem like a simple install, not sure that I need it but perhaps nice to have the option.
A few questions for Paul...
What is shown on the phone screen when you connect to their USB?
Does the USB in the armrest still function? ie can you ignore the AUD and just carry on as before should you wish to?
Is it necessary to disconnect the battery for the AUD install?
Thanks.

Yes, I have music on a usb stick in mine and you switch in and out of the Android Auto screen by using the home button. The default is the cars normal screen.
I didnt disconnect power for my install, but its always safer to do so :-)

Got my unit today and installed it. The pink/purple plug from the Harman was tricky to remove.
All connections look good but the screen is blank. Tried dip switches 2 and 2&8 did reset each time but no luck. Am waiting to hear from AUD.
I haven’t put the car back to normal since I don’t want to have to remove that plug again, just hope that if I do put it back that the original system still works.

Just hope I haven’t fried the Harman.
I did wonder if the 40 pin connector had seated properly, it doesn’t go in very far but the lock works and I can’t pull it out.
Pretty sure the video plugs are in ok but I’ll have another go tomorrow.
Got that feeling that I wish I’d never done this at the mo.

Thanks Paul, I will check in the morning though everything seemed to go in with a click.

Also FYI, there was a firmware update on June 5th, that fixes an issue I was seeing: not being able to tap incoming text messages on carplay, and it's specific to JLR fitments. I emailed UAD to request the update file and I'm waiting to hear back.

OK all is well.
I hadn’t pushed in the 40pin connector far enough into the Harman unit. It needed a very firm push with the lock pushed all the way back into the wires.
AUD were Very patient and helped me solve the problem.
All in all it’s a great piece of kit. Wireless CarPlay was working initially but it appears to need a reset. Will be using it wired anyway and I still have the phone mounted with the Scosche mount on the dash. I can display different things on the phone from what I can select on the CarPlay screen.
The audio is good, ie as good as it ever was but I can confirm that the next/previous on the steering wheel does not function...not a problem since it’s easy to do on the screen.
If you want CarPlay on an 8 inch screen with Harman system this is definitely the way to go.
