Volunteers - smartphone audio streaming device test
Member veffremov in California has developed a CD-changer replacement device that allows audio streaming from a smartphone (via bluetooth).
He is looking for one or two members with either an XJ8 (X350 or X358), X-Type or S-Type (2004 onwards) with D2B optical audio system who would like to test the device, share their experience and ultimately help him improve the product.

Even if you can't help out, please check the thread and give him some feedback.

Getting ready to expand the offering. Forum members would receive a special price of $299 + shipping (Continental US shipping should be less than $10, other places vary quite a bit).
Please fill this form if you would be interested in this offer:
http://goo.gl/forms/A5HUrBLLoR
I would offer full refund (less the shipping) if you are unhappy with the performance of the device for 90 days - just send the device pack to me.
One year repair warranty. If I'm unable to repair the device you will get a refund even if 90 days have passed. After one year, I would continue to support all customers, but that is on a best effort basis.
I have very limited production capacity, so from the registered users I would randomly select batches of 5 per week. You are not required to pay for the device until I have one ready for you to ship.
Production would start mid or end of June - depending on how I fare after my surgery.

Great news
I sent the form you set up. I am pleased to see this coming to a fully ready product. Hope all goes well with the surgery. By the way, I do NOT have a CD Changer mounted, and would prefern NOT to add one as this solution is more elegant and modern, vs 25 year old tech that Jaguar put in these premium sedans. It has been the bane of owning an 06 XJ8L as I am a musician so its been a bit painful. Just fixed my Bluetooth finally - needed a new module in the center console (the workaround Jaguar used to replace the V60 Car phone module). Will I need a different Fiber Loop to use this? I have Navigation in the car and its functional as well.
I hope this brings you the number of sales you wish for - not too many or too few, as I know you didn't create this to get rich and famous (but fame is a subjective thing isn't it?
Looking forward to this - a better investment that a Dension ACM even if one could be found.

Thanks john,
There is another member in the same boat as you, maybe you can share some parts/experience. Yes you would need an additional fiber loop in the optical harness. Fortunately it is not very hard to add it - you would need an old harness (ebay has a few) and pilfer one connector from it to add to your existing loop.
Here is an excellent guide how to splice these optical cables from the UK jaguar forum:

Another diagram I dew to illustrate what needs to be done:

@Blairware, I'm a musician as well, so dealing with the Bluetooth transmitter is good, ONLY because I now can stream, but sucks in sound!!! Do you have NO idea how bad I'm in need for "Thee VeffreBox"!!!
I too have an xj8-l, Nav but no CD changer; it's seems REALLY simple to add a loop tho as long as you don't over-think it like I was @1st)

Wow, this is awesome! I've read through the posts and the Google Docs info, but I have one dumb question:
When you don't have a factory changer fitted (but do have Jaguar voice / nav and blue tooth phone), do you still have to fit the additional cable splice?
Thanks!
Jeff

But yeah, anytime you add something, there has to be an extra loop added. You "could" have 1 laying around, but you'd have to check. Either way, it'd have to be an additional loop to add something new...

Volunteers - smartphone audio streaming device test
VEFFREMOV IS A FARKIN GENIUS!!! I a/b'd it with a CD (same track, same audio settings) & I really could not hear any differences!!! & it was/is a breeze to hook up. Mind you, I do not have a CD CHANGER, so I'm saying that to say it's literally plug & play! I purchased 1 extra loop of eBay, sliced them, daisy chained, & voila!!! You do NOT have to go to the dealer to get them to activate anything!..
Mannnn thanks is such a small word!!!
