Hi,

I’m in the process of repairing a damaged 2014 XK to use as my daily.

One thing I can’t seem to do is play music through Bluetooth in the car from my iPhone. Surely it’s possible? Am I just being a bit dim?

 

You need an OLD ipod connector, I think 30-pin? Not the new one regardless. It connects in the ipod slot in the center console. You MUST have a song in the it-oonz library though. Or, does this only work FOR ipods and not phones?
Regardless, you can't stream either way. For that you'd need something like a Bovee thing.
OR, put a whole crap-ton of songs on a USB stick and put it in the USB connector right next to the ipod connector. I have about 9,000 on mine. Works great (although the more songs, the longer it takes to load).

 

I have 2011 Renault that can play music through Bluetooth, what were Jag thinking! 😂

I’ll get a connector and see if that works.

 

The engine sounds superb in a Jaguar. You wouldn't want to listen to a Renault.

Although, if you need to wind in the rear brake pistons on an XK to change the pads, you will find that the standard retraction tool pin spacings are too wide for the Jaguar. However, you can buy a cheap adapter for the Renault Modus (I've no idea what that is) as that uses the same size as the XK.

You need an Invery adaptor which goes straight into the iPod socket in the armrest cubby.This gives you Bluetooth audio. Works very well

 

Bovee 1000 works great in mine like someone said you just need to have 1 song on your phone mine is through my apple music

 

For those that want to go the hard line route like Cee Jay, you can buy a 30-pin to lightning adapter. If you have an iPhone with USB-C, you'll need a special adapter from Denison and need to get into the wiring.

 

Bovee and Gitank both make bluetooth audio adapters that plug into the iPod interface. I have the Bovee, it works well.

 

Here is the one that I bought. It works great. Can even auto-play where you left off when you last turned off the car if you like. Highly recommend.
