Nice video! Just FYI in the meantime we came up with a solution to activate the AUX in 2010MY-onward XKs without needing a password anymore, but you still need SDD...

Thanks for the update! 👍

Actually we've released a patch to make AUX activation on 2010+ XK(R)s a lot easier, password generator is NOT required. And with this patch its possible to retrofit a backup camera too) As far as i remember Cameron already posted it on a jaguarforums in a X150 section

Ace, thanks for the update Nick 👍 pinning your comment for all prospective XK / CarPlay buyers to see!

I installed the Old Jaguar kit in 2020 and highly recommend doing it. My 2007 XK's only fault, as far as i was concerned, was the ancient Infotainment system. I've had my XK for 12 years now, and it's been the best car I've ever owned.

Good to hear! If I could keep mine forever I would, absolutely the best car I’ve owned so far.

Any easy solution to add either aux and usb or such carplay on the earlier 2008 XKR please? any help would be much appreciated.

I thought the earlier cars had an AUX input already, and a 30-pin and USB under the armrest. Not my area of expertise I’m afraid but you can always speak to a car audio place to find a solution, or get an FM adaptor or Bluetooth adaptor thingy if you want a quick plug and play solution👍🏼

That’s around 3 times more expensive as I was expecting. Good job though 👍

Thanks 👍🏼 yeah it was a bit of a shock when the first quote came through!

No need for AUX with a new kit available as it uses a MOST connection, you need to remove the infotainment system and fit an extra board but it's really straightforward no soldering needed. You can switch between AA or Carplay and steering buttons for volume or tracks. I paid less than £300. Also just got AAWireless working with it and Torque Pro so now have dials for temps like oil, coolant and gearbox

Also no need for extra buttons, just use the home button to go to and from the oem screen.

Sounds good, do you have a link to the kit / name of the site?

Nice update Tiff! Would you do it again? Cost vs benefit

Thanks! I think it’s worth it for me, especially if you use your XK for road trips or on a more daily basis 👍🏼

Yep, I hear you! I’m over in Europe right now and it’d definitely be easier. Having said this, the XKR is an amazing tourer making road trips a joy

For sure, I’d be interested to hear how you get on as I don’t know anyone who’s done it themselves yet!

Hi thanks for the great info and demonstration. Could you please reply stating the names of the 2 companies that do the full fitting. Many thanks.

@TiffLangham

Thanks for watching! The two I refer to are Cartronics (Byfleet), and Oxford Car Audio. There are others fitters available of course, but those two were the ones that kept popping up as recommendations from others who retrofitted the kit before I did 👍🏼

Oxford car audio quoted me around £1400, got a better (imo) solution and fitted myself for less than £300
