I have jaguar XF 2011, you can pair smart phone with jaguar for making and receiving calls only, It doesn't have profiles to play music. I am looking to upgrade the unit, I am doing some research to see if it is possible to install Android tablet or head unit in my car. so far my understanding is we cannot do any upgrades with the touch screen head unit, because all the features are integrated into the touch head unit. I don't know if it is possible to integrate them into android head unit. I would love to hear from other members on the ideas on how to do this. or at least install separate android tablet on the dash board.

I'm about to pick the car up with just an aux input but the minor inconvenience of not having my phone automatically connect to the car (except for calls) is really putting me off. Although I'm not too upset, as even the new models don't even link to your phone screen while I could drive some French rubbish and have a load of gadgets.
I've seen adaptors that connect to the CD changer (I no longer own CDs) which enable control via the steering wheel buttons but none stated as XF compatible.
What about actually upgrading to the desired OEM hardware? Is it just the Bluetooth module or more?
3.5mm adaptors are probably my last option although I suppose I could have one which is permanently on while the car has power, which would be tucked away in the glove box, and simultaneously keep my phone connected to the car's Bluetooth for calls, as luckily Samsung can accommodate dual devices.
The other thing I'd really like is to use Google voice via the car's mic but I'm guessing whatever the connection, the mic would only be active during calls

If you want to go even further buy a bluetooth control kit for your device and install it permanetely in the cabin someplace accessible. This is my current setup and its user friendliness is comparable to that of modern integrated systems.
EDIT: One more thing, insert a ground loop isolator between the receiver and the aux cables to avoid the wonderful whine that’d otherwise be audible.

Good shout. This is just a 3.5mm with 12v at the other and a set of buttons in the middle so presumably would switch on and connect when the car is running. Shame about having another set of buttons but at £8.50 that's a fraction of any other solution.

The part I used in my TL was PA-HON2 from ASPEC: https://www.usaspec.com/p-324-pa15-hon2.aspx

2010 XFR connection was fine, now fails.
My car and phones have always worked fine. Perhaps it's a coincidence but I had my car in for service and have since been unable to pair my phone.
I'm not technologically challenged and have always been able to resolve any trouble connecting in the past.
However my phone(Android 11) has also since had trouble pairing with other items. Due to the coincidence of failure following a service appt I'm curious if any other users have had new problems with BT.
