docking usb
I leave a usb flashdrive connected at all times. The 09 xk used to come all anytime I would select portable audio. It has started to ask me to dock the usb now about 3 out of 4 times. I need to unplug it and plug it back in and it docks and works. Next time in car we play this little game all over again. Wondering if this is one of the weak battery gremlins surfacing that is so frequently talked about in this forum. I don't know what this icon is about but thought it was cool.

I have the exact same issue. I keep my micro USB thumb drive in the docking slot 100% of the time, never remove it. I get the same when going to "portable device". I have to wait until the device docks all over again. I also have a 2009 XKR.
My battery is always fully charged with a CTEK 3300 on the car 100% of the time when parked in the garage. So I know it is not a battery issue.
Has to be something along the lines of the USB thumb drive not storing the download into the system.
I am seeking the solution to the same system problem as yourself. You are not the only out there with this issue. It takes about 10 minutes to dock the device and have the music system recognizes the USB device.
Hopefully we can find an answer here, by one of the Jaguar music experts.
Anybody else have this problem?

It is frustrating however. When it works, the sound system is awesome.

Will do. I just found out the other day, the only option on my car is HD radio. Since I have not listened to anything else, even the radio sounds great in this car!

I never undock my old Ipod Nano 5th Generation from the connector in the armrest and never turn it off. Every time I start my car my Ipod is recognized. I also leave a Scosche charging adapter connected to my Ipod. That adapter was much less costly than the new generation cable with charging capability. My car hasn't had a software upgrade.

The last thing I want to do with a 2010 car is to go back to cds! I have my history of favorite tunes on my Ipod. I hope there is a fix.

Docking Issues with USB
I have had the same issue with my USB on my Jaguar XF S. I believe it is to do with the amount of data which is stored in the "buffer" for the music. I have on a number of occasions tried about 10 times to get the music to work and by that time I am at my destination!!! Very frustrating. I have noticed if I undock the USB and then play music from the radio/CD for a while it seems to re-set and then I can start with the USB again..say 10 mins of music on the radio/CD. I remember reading somewhere that the IPod should not be constantly connected overnight as it will drain a slight part of the power (like leaving the glove compartment light on).
I hope this helps, however its not a total fix, but still helps to get it going.

I had an issue with the audio from my iPhone 4 shortly after I bought my car in April - the left channel vanished, and it would no longer charge (phone said it was an 'unknown accessory', which I thought was an interesting description of a car). Jag replaced the audio dock module under warranty, which fixed that problem. If you're under warranty, it's definitely worth raising the issue, because they can try stuff like swapping the module which would be expensive experiments for you.
However, there are times when the audio system doesn't seem to recognise the playlist structure on the phone. It will play the music library in alphabetical order, but you can't select 'Mix' or change to another playlist - undocking the phone, waiting & re-docking seems to fix it. So, I think there are some gremlins in the audio system's iOS interface. Can't speak about USB, because I don't use it, but if there's bugs in one interface, chances are there's bugs in the other.
