I have the NAV and I can pull the trunk lining back pretty easily to check. Any photos of that too?

So your car was pre-wired for the mike too?

I think a Jag dealer can check the build sheet to check for pre-wire no?????

The simple short answer is Yes. Since these devices were created to be "dealer accessories" and options, the required wiring is there on the 03 and up cars. If you look at the phone install instructions, you will see where all the different plugs are if you don't "trust" us... LOL..

Man I wish I caught one of the auctions WinterJag got when I had my car.

The phone parts were a saved search for the longest time, just never seemed to get one...

To all that want it... I would keep checking with the dealers and Nalley.. Since all new Jaguars have the phone devices as standard the market for the accessory kit must have shrunk.. Maybe they'll have a deal like they did on the rear seat video systems??

I think finding all the "correct" equipment on Ebay in good condition is a long shot too. He certainly did well.

It's "newish" phone time for me right now and all my contacts are in Outlook with an activesynch interface to a windows mobile phone. The latest windows phone opsys doesn't use activesynch any longer. I don't want to go through any new technology trials by fire with this. Something about a frikin' cloud? My requirements are really simple. So I'm looking at some Windows mobile 6 phones with real buttons on them and that should be an easy move. I don't watch movies/videos or even listen to music on my phone. I haven't found a phone with really good audio that could also serve as an MP3 player. I think I'll try the Ipad for web access when we travel. It's nicely sized.

Sooo maybe I'll try a portable bluetooth system for the car instead?

I guess you like your Parrot MKi9200? I know it's not portable but I believe they offer portable units as well?

I have this Motorola portable and like it..

I also have this one and it was not so good...

This is one I haven't seen yet, but looks like it would be worth a look..

I also have a Blueant device that is good as well.

In total, I have three of these things and my total investment is maybe $125.00 for all three!
