All,

I recently upgraded from my beloved 2001 S-Type to a 2009 Jaguar XF. I found that the bluetooth built into the car only supports phone functions and not bluetooth music streaming. I also found that to get it working you need a .

I thought I'd see what I could find that would do the trick in the meantime cheap so I could have some streaming music.

I found that a simple works perfectly for me. Cost is $1.99. Right in my budget.
It was plug and play in the car. I just plugged the key into the USB port and fed the aux out into the aux in in the console.
The module showed up in my iphone as a new BT device. I connected and boom I was streaming.

The next question you may ask is if I have to pair every time I get in and out of the car. No I do not. Once paired the first time, I can now shut off the car, go back outside the next day, and start the car and boom music starts streaming again from my phone right where I left off.

I can't control next/pause from the steering wheel like you can with the $100 i-pod module but for the savings I'm willing to deal with it. I mostly listen to podcasts anyway.

Sound quality is excellent and loud. I hear not pops/clicks/muddy music. Sounds awesome.

I know this is late coming but I didn't find another thread with the same info.

Hope this helps my budget minded XF friends out there.

Your XF is the X250 model. This is the forum for the X260 (2015-on) model.
Your info could be more useful to people in the X250 forum.
