Hi regular reader but first time poster so bare with me please.
I have an 04 x type estate SE and have removed the factory stereo to put a Sony double din Bluetooth CD radio mp3 player unit. I bought the adaptor kit online but the aerial cable received is no use. The cable from the car is like a figure of 8 cable for old tape players but I have seen nothing like it, local Jaguar no help and Halfords did their best but twice wrong cable now.
All kits online say 2001 onwards X-type but is the estate different or was there a change in 2004 on saloon and estate?
Am I first estate owner to put non factory stereo in? Surely not.
Any and all advice appreciated

The only question I can answer for you is YES to the electrical changes in the 2004 model year. The electrical received a complete reconfiguration around March 2004. As to whether they used a different cable for antenna than previous years I don't know, but as significant as the update was it wouldn't surprise me.
