I have a bluetooth BAFX Products sensor and when i plug it into my 04 XJ8 it throws out every error and warning on the dash and prevents me from starting the engine when turning the key. Once i remove the OBD the car goes back to normal. I got codes of P1638 and P1642.
Has anyone else had this and know how to resolve it?

They use different protocols to talk to different things so whether it works on another car means nothing useful sadly.

I ran in the same issue with BAFX product. When I emailed their customer support that thought it might be a short in my OBD port. I did inform them I am able to use an Autel OBD meter with no issues. They sent me out a second one with same result. It does not appear that the BAFX work with the 04 jaguars XJ*. I have seen other people use this product with success on newer Jaguars.

FYI: Jaguar made a modification in late 2005 for the 06 model year:
"The software platform of the cars changed from having a VID Block, to having a CCF (Car Configuration File) same as the Land Rovers, and later Jaguar models. The software format of the major modules changed from using .bin files to .vbf files.
I have no idea if this affects the function of OBDII, I assume not, but it could explain why scanners have more issues with the earlier cars. As another post said: If it hurts when you do THIS, don't do THIS.
