Evening,
I'm attempting to pair my phone with my Jag X100 XKR and I'm not having much luck. I've been following the instructions from here, but can't get it to work. Just to cover a few possible questions:

• The car is a 2006MY (built 2005) XKR 4.2S
• It has a microphone mounted near the driver's sun visor
• I haven't checked under the centre console yet to see if any bluetooth modules are installed - but perhaps this is the next step

With the ignition on, I switch off the radio, then press the phone button - the display comes up with "PHONE" then very quickly "NO PHONE". It then goes blank. I've tried the "C TA" button to clear previous paired phones, and have also tried to input the codes to clear pairings and re-pair a new phone. The issue is that however many times I try, I can't get the display to say "SIG", and therefore I can't input any of the *# codes in the guide. Is there something obvious I'm missing, or do I need to take the centre console apart to confirm I have the module (even though the mic is installed)?
Thanks!

 

Your XKR, being one of the 4.2S models, very likely does have bluetooth, but, it's a very outdated form of bluetooth that probably will not pair with your phone. To the best of my flawed knowledge, the latest fruit company phone that is capable of pairing to it is the iPhone 4. YMMV

 

Ah yes, the guide did say that only some phones were compatible. I was hoping to try and pair it and see if it would just work.
I don't mind looking at aftermarket options, but was hoping I could get the factory one working.

 

I have an iPhone 4 gathering dust . Now I know it has value for someone

My IPhone 13 pairs with my 2006 XKR so I don’t think it’s a phone model issue. The pairing process button pushing sequence is a tricky one and if memory serves there is a supplement update that amended/updated the pairing button pushing sequence. Either way the newer phones will pair.

 

I remember my wife having a difficult time getting her iPhone to pair with her 2006 XK8 when we acquired the car back in early February 2012. After numerous attempts, she finally got it to pair up with the car after clearing all settings and then following the instruction booklet to the letter....

 

Thanks all for the advice - I'll give it another try and see if perserverence helps. If not I'll take a look under the centre console when I get a chance and see if the module is installed. Probably won't have time for a couple of weeks but I'll update here if I make any progress.
