Puzzling bluetooth
#21
If you remove the rack which holds the Sat Nav DVD, the CDC and audio amplifier (if you have them on your car), you will see a sliver coloured metal panel, bolted to the inner rear wing with four bolts.
If you have neither Sat Nav or CDC, then the Kaiser panel will be visible as soon as you remove the boot trim panel.
You will need to remove these four bolts and ease the panel forward to see the JaguarVoice module (if fitted) and the phone module attached to the back of the panel. That is the way it is on my car. I think it will be the same on yours.
I can send you the official Jaguar fitting instructions for Bluetooth if you want. It makes everything perfectly clear. Or just ask me any questions and I'll certainly try to assist
Do you know for sure whether you have Bluetooth fitted to your car?

That'll be a bonus then
Have you tried using your iPhone to detect the Jaguar Bluetooth signal?
When you press the telephone button on the centre console, what if any, message do you get?
I was going to ask if you had the microphone but I can't remember when Jaguar superseded the concealed microphone, the earlier one being next to impossible to see unless you drop the overhead console.
Do you have Jaguar Voice?
FWIW, the kit I retro-fitted in my colleague's car was done from scratch and it worked without having to be enabled.

It is simple to check though. All you need to do is lift out the storage box under the armrest in the centre console (2 small Torx screws) and you will then see the bluetooth module tucked away inside the void.
Refer to the documentation I sent you via e-mail and it will become perfectly clear... unlike my efforts at description
No biggie if you haven't got it though. I bought a kit of the three modules to retro-fit in a colleague's S Type and it only cost £85 from fleabay, which is about $125.
The D2B fibre optic cable can be simply replaced as well to allow for the additional module. In fact, if you're as tight-fisted as me, you can just get a double ended cable and splice it in to your present cable

OK. No worries
You'll need to pull the trim panel out on the left hand side of your trunk. You will be looking for a connector with two cables attached. The cables will be stiffer than normal electrical cables as they are fibre optic cables. I imagine they will have a termination attached, that being a small loop of fibre optic cable effectively linking the two cables where they appear in the trunk area from the front of the car.
It will look like one end of the cable in the attached picture. Use the document I sent you as a guide - did you receive it yet?
Borrowing shamelessly from another forum, and with acknowledgements and grateful thanks to the originator, the picture below shows what you should find

Don't know if this will help, but, I just paired my Iphone 4 to my 2008 S Type Bluetooth. All this high tech stuff is new to me, but I read the Bluetooth manual with the car and it said I had to enter "1313" on my IPhone keypad, hit "Pair", (think that was on the touchscreen), and it was done!
