Good News for iPhone 5 Owners

I got my iPhone 5 today (my old 4 was literally falling apart) and while at the Verizon store I asked if they had any of the 30-pin to lightning adapter cables. They did, so I bought one for the Jag. I was immediately curious as to whether I could simply put the adapter cable on the end of the ACM's old-style iPod cord and have it work. Sure enough it was as easy as that; I plugged my new phone into the adapter and it immediately started charging. That was a good sign, so I switched to the CDC input and started playing Pandora. This worked too, as well as the steering wheel and head unit controls.
It looks like all you need to enjoy new iDevices through the ACM is one of those adapters. Apple makes the cable version that I have and a smaller one that is just a plastic connector. So rest easy if you upgrade to the iPhone 5, it will still work just fine with the ACM.

Many of us (including myself) have installed this part ourselves but the problem now is that kits are hard to find and constantly increasing in price.
With the iPhone 5, Apple introduced a new dock connector, the "Lightning" connector. Since the ACM is not equipped to handle this I simply bought one of Apple's adapters, which was the subject of my first post.

Thanks a lot. I found your other thread about this and cannot thank you enough. I found the OEM kit today from a part dealer and ordered it for a grand total of $428 incl. taxes and Fedex. I'm also due to upgrade my iPhone, so glad to know it works with the iPhone 5. Tell me, do we absolutely have to install the plug in the central arm rest? Isn't it a pain when you need to use your phone?

I'm having this problem right now. I replaced my cassette radio with a CD radio. But the CD radio came out of a car with out trunk (boot) changer. So the CDC button is dead. I've been told to take it to my Jag guy and have the button 'activated'. I'm planning on doing this on Monday. I will report what happens. I miss my ACM.

If you have any questions on how to install the ACM contact me. I did mine in a morning. Take your time and don't lose any screws down the big hole where then ash tray was!

Hi all,
I can't seem to find an ACM from anywhere. I have tried dealers and they keep telling me that they are no longer made. I have heard rumors that a new connectivity module is coming out soon. I am not sure that is true & I am not sure I can wait! Any ideas??? I have a 2009 XJ8 VDP thank you
