- I just spent ages researching and didn't find anything particularly amazing. I want to keep everything original looking, trunk/boot seems the obvious place to wire this in?

I did remove my changer, but I believe there's plenty of room between the fuel tank and hat shelf to hide a module. I think that's where the DIN cable comes through, happily.

Theres a service on ebay that will rebuild your stock head unit (which many need to be at this point) and add in that feature while they are it!

the Jaguar factory stereo head ( Alpine AJ9500 ) can be modified by yourself to have a aux wire jack socket to have a higher quality wire input signal from any device sacrificing the use of the cassette player

Bluetooth comprises and degrades the stereo head input signal

you can hide the jack socket anywhere you like

many have done this mod



the additional wires are soldered to the cassette read pickup head board path with the cassette carrier mechanically rocked and locked in the loaded position ( tiewrap )
