Default 2006 X type wanting to add Phone (communication Module)

I Just got this 2006 X Type Jaguar and when I tried adding the phone it says NO PHONE on the screen so researching what I could find or ask .. I found the communication module was not in the rear drivers 1/4 panel
I did see where a baggy type plastic had 3 items in it, two connectors and 1 female fiber orange cable.

So I found a used Module and was hoping for a plug and play But the one plug fit in with that rectangular wired fit in fine ,,However the fiber optic plug is a female and so is the module

I don't know if their is another module a Bluetooth under the console that needs to be added and teh fiber orange cable now in the trunk is not for this unit

I was thinking of just removing the plastic jacket on the fiber that is in the trunk and connect it to the module and glue it in with silicone.. with the proper in and out direction to make it communicate

So my big question is can this be done? is it something that when adding you have to have a special scanner to allow it to communicate and any other problems I will run in to or not

Thank-you for the time and help along the way...daniel

Research member Dennis Black posts. He has pics, explanations, conversions, descriptions of standard and touch screen cars. Conversion to upgraded technology is a better option, but up to you.

WOW thank-you if I'm reading correctly the phone communication might not need to be programed in with a scanner , I just did not want to connect it to the harness and have the system disabled

is that correct if you know again thank-you for the help... daniel

It's been almost two decades since I installed things at the dealer.
I don't remember all the things required for the installation.

The D2B black optical fiber 'loop' needs to be installed and the modules need to be in a certain order.
The info should be in the documents I provided?

Yes thank-you very very help full it states that if I do not have existing devices ( which I don't) then I have to change the female to male Its states If I did have a cdc navigation etc I would need a extra cable.. I hoping from reading this "might " be a plug and play. I researching if I could just connect the fiber optics with out a sleave to test it .. ...daniel
