I just did this, I bought a used 07 XK and it did not have the adapter. The dealer has a hard wired option that works great. It was $700 installed. $300 for the part and $400 installation. But I'm happy with it.
I now have an "Aux" icon on the audio screen and the iphone plugs into a cable in the armrest. I can control the song selection from the steering wheel, track up/down etc. My wife has a Lexus and the iPod connection in that makes you change the track from the iPod. It's a little annoying.
Also, there is a secondary hookup in the glove box, I can run RCA cables into the audio system if I want to, AND there is also a USB hookup if you wanted to store music on a thumb drive and leave it in the car, hidden, you could.
$700 is a lot of money, but I think you get your money's worth outside of just an audio cable.

It is a Jaguar part, It came with a Jaguar handbook etc. I dont know what they call it, But i'm sure your dealer will have it. The service guy at the desk knew about it without looking it up, so it must be quite common. My dealer was in Annapolis, Maryland. But I'm sure the guys in the Great White North will be able to track one down for you.
Good Luck

What works great for me is the gigaware simple fm transmitter that plugs into the earphone connector of my iphone. it seems to have the strongest transmitter and works flawlessly in my 2007.... sold at radio shack... the more expensive one that charges at the same time does not seem to have as strong a transmitter......

Thanks for your inquiry. The ACM for your car is $$$, The ACM does come with installation instructions. However, the vehicle does need to be connected to the Jaguar dealer’s IDS system (shop computer) to allow the head unit to recognize the ACM. It shouldn't be an issue for you to have it installed @ the local audio shop then send it to the dealership to hook up to IDS system. The iPod will not display on the screen in your car – you can either use playlists or do all song navigation on the iPod itself. Sorry, that’s the only way it’s possible.
Thanks.

I've seen the ACM C2C40513 kit. I was under the impression that this only allows you to change songs from the iPod itself, not from the steering wheel. I'm wondering if you have something different.

ACM usage
See my post #2 in this thread https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/2...od-cord-41102/.
Also see post ## 9 & 12 in this thread to see how I used the ACM https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/2...-add-ons-9917/
One last point, you MUST have the dealer reprogram the audio system to add the AUX to the screen, it is not automatic and unless you have a factory computer diagnostic system, you cannot program this yourself.
Hope this is informative.

I plan on getting the adapter in the future, and will utilize internet sources for music instead using Sirius or XM.
