After market bluthooth head unit for Jaguar x300
I've done some extensive searching here on replacing the original radio in an X300. It will look like utter crap, but I really don't have many cassette tapes to play. He'll, I don't even own any CDs! I just need Bluetooth streaming audio, and I'm fine. No need to connect to or control the trunk CD changer.
Crutchfield isn't much help with cars like these. I've found a matching trim fascia from the UK but wondering which manufacturers of head units have existing wiring harnesses (looms for our friends across the pond) that fit these cars?
I note there was someone that did a very nice JVC installation in an XK8,but was unable to find a wiring harness, so he made his own. I have no such useful skills.
Has anyone undertaken a DIY installation of an aftermarket audio head unit, and if so, what did you do to connect it?
Thank you, I appreciate the help!

I see a good looking floor mat
I saw the pictures of a double-din navigation unit in your Jag and am envious. I am contemplating one of those single-din units with the pop-out screen because I thought the double-din wouldn't fit.
Did you have to make any mods behind the unit to get it to fit?

Did you ever get the desired result? I have a 1997 XJ6 that I want to do the same thing as you or "Suede" did. Nice install "Suede" did! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

X300 Android HU upgrade
so i have have had a few issues as can be seen there,
have just ordered some new switches as momentary switches are what is required.
just waiting for those to come. the issue will be getting a flashing indicator for when the hazard is on.
think i know how i need to do it, but we will see
once i get it done check it out.
i was going to mount them on the lower dash panel kinda below where the headlight controls are..
