Cellphone static?

Does the noise change with how fast the engine runs?

Now now. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
If it's plugged in like WhiteXKR thought, that's the problem. I had a similar issue with my iPhone lightning cable. I slapped a ferrite core clasp thingy around it and that fixed it. Line noise isolator basically. You can probably find one on an old phone cord, or at Radio Shack. I can't remember where mine came from as it was in my 'treasure drawer' but I've seen them at electronics parts shops.

I am not pluged into anything complete wireless. I don't know about the different speeds as my passenger only checked when on the highway.
Pitifulpluto; A muffler bearing? How is that going to effect a wirless transmission? And what where is it?
I'll check for cracks on coil. That's where I am thinking the problem is coming from, but still looking.

These cars have eight separate coils. If the insulation is damaged, chances are you would have a misfire detected.
I would suggest checking for a loose spark plug.
If that is not the problem, there is an unproven theory that the three ultrasonic transducers used for passenger detection for the safety systems in the XK8 cause interference on some phones, especially from the passenger seat. I think this has some credibility. Installing a Bluetooth system is one way to resolve this.

Btw, old guys, phones aren't used as phones any longer. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
I don't talk when I'm driving unless I have to- I use mine to stream Pandora internet radio through an input adaptor on my stock radio. Original look without a tacky aftermarket radio, modern content, great quality sound. (search 'aux-in' on this forum for more info)
