I think cheapest way with best sound quality would be to modify tape headunit.

If I remember correctly, it's some obscure proprietary optic network thing, so mostly no. The only one that works like that (at least of which I know of) in the X-Type is Jaguar's own ACM, the headunit sees that as a CDC, and it comes with a switch for choosing between CDC and ACM.

Hey there guys, I've been recently fiddling with my sound setup myself. I found that if you take a "aux to rca" cable cut off the rca ends and wire them in line with the speaker wires from the harness you'd get sound! But signal is very weak since an ipod/mp3/phone aux jack can't supply enough power to drive the speakers. I'm currently hunting down a cheap 4 channel amp to add more power and see if that works. If anybody has electrical knowledge to shed some light I need this, that would be beautiful

Hello I'm try to find out if the Jaguar 2008 XKR convertible would be able to use this kit you recommended me? And also see how it has been working for you this far.
The clear option for me was an FM modulator. This is not one of those cheap over the air signal things, it is a modulator kit that is hard wired into the stock headunits' antenna slot. Because almost all cars use a traditional antenna connection, this can be installed on almost all cars (including our X). It is actually a very easy install and the sound quality is superb. The sound quality is akin to that off a new cars' HD Radio. Plus it comes as a kit and you can place the on/off switch and AUX input in the glovebox or center console, or even add a dedicated iPhone/iPod connector that can even charge the device as you play!
This is the exact one I bought at Best Buy (they could even install it for ya):
