USB port
I just bought a 2012 XK convertible. When I plug my iphone into the USB port I cannot get the Jag Audio screen to see the phone for my itunes. I have followed the ownerws manual . The phone shows that it is charging in the port. but the car does not see the itunes. When I plug an old iPod into the iPod port it sees that!! I ask at the Apples store and they were useless. Any thoughts. Thanks

Are you plugging an Apple-supplied USB cable into the USB port, or plugging a Jaguar-supplied 30-pin cable directly into the phone? The latter is what you should be doing - I don't know what happens if you plug an Apple device in via USB.
If you're using the Apple cable because your phone has a Lightning connector, you need a 30-pin-to-Lighting converter to attach to the Jaguar cable:
Lightning to 30-pin Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
I use one with my iPhone 6 - works fine.

Not imported from itoonz tho, I won't subject myself to proprietary money-gobbling corporate shenanigans. There are hundreds of places to get all the Free music you want, as long as it's for your personal use and you don't distribute it.

Bluetooth Streaming
I use and love the ViseeO Air2Tune product for Bluetooth streaming.
It plugs in to the 30 pin IPod port and allows streaming of music. Bluetooth in dash only supports phone connectivity for making phone calls. Shame on Jag for not supporting music streaming even on my 2014 XKR. Although I can't stay mad at Jaguar when I hear the engine growl. I think that's the point. The engineers didn't want any music distracting you from the gorgeous exhaust sound.

Does VisseO work with Android, particularly a Samsung Note 4? If so, does it give full access to song folders for easy access. Sequentially traversing all songs to find a particular song would be a pain in the ****. With a USB flash stick I have access to folders for easy selection.

I am going to assume that it would work with your Samsung much like it does with Windows Phone. It will play music just fine and the steering wheel controls will let you adjust the volume and skip tracks but you won't see track info displayed on the car's screen. You'd be better off to use your flash drive for your music collection but if you want to stream Pandora, XboxMusic, Rdio, or an Audible book from your phone you're going to need something like the Viseeo. Good news is that you can use both. The Viseeo plugs in to the iPod cable so you just select the iPod source when you need to stream.

I prefer my old iPod Nano 5th Gen for listening to "my" music in my 2009 XKR since it (1) simultaneously charges and plays using the OEM iPod cable (1st version) and Scosche charging adapter, (2) displays song info on the touchscreen, (3) operates from the steering wheel controls, and (4) everything fits inside the armrest storage compartment with the lid closed, where it permanently resides. I have it set on shuffle, since I like not knowing what's next.
Since don't have another old iPod, I use my Galaxy S3 to Bluetooth stream my music in my 2013 XJ. It works fine with the steering wheel controls and touchscreen, but whenever I get a text or email notification the music is interrupted for a second or two, which is annoying. And I have to keep an eye on the battery since I don't keep the phone plugged in to keep it recharging.
I have no need for a Bluetooth adapter for my XKR, as my iPod works better.
