Just bought this from my brother, has no manual.
Looking for assistance on how to use the phone thru the radio.
Thanks for any assistance.

 

You must tell us year/model

 

I have on 2004 XKR Convertible and would like to know too.

 

You can download the manuals for the Jaguar phone system from the sticky section at the top of the forum. In brief; insert a SIM card that still works with these old phones in the handset. Use it like a normal mobile phone, or put it in the cradle to use it handsfree. The phone icon on the stereo switches to phone mode and answers calls.

Different model years had different handsets, so the exact instructions will depend on which handset you have.

 

You'll do far better to add in a third party unit. I have a 2003 XKR and found a Bluetooth unit from discountcarstereo.com that was deigned specifically for our Jaguars and was easy to install. The unit I bought was designed to fit into the wiring connectors where the CD changer in the trunk (boot) plugs in. Very easy to install and works great. They have other models if you don't have the changer.
I just wanted Bluetooth audio from so I got there A2D-JAG98, but they have other models that include hands free phone calls as well as the audio.

Check out their website here:

 

Thanks, I went to their website for phone connect hands free and you plug in near cd but have to route cabeling through car, seats, pillar...install the module sonewhere up front, install another switch and microphone and wires... I'll just choose to hit speaker button on my phone, lol. But interesting to read all about it.

 

are you able to continue to use it like it was a factory set up? I want the entire old phone set up in my car or show and to make the sound when powered up but I want my car to connect directly to my iPhone by pressing the phone button on the steering wheel and saying call John. Does that work?

 

Or do the job right.
