Installation Guide
Follow these instructions to get your Jag a new sound.
Tools needed:
- Torx 35 screwdriver
- Phillips screwdriver
- Soldering iron + Flux + Soldering wire
Step 1
Remove radio module from the center console
Jaguar XJ
Jaguar X-Type
Jaguar S-Type
Step 2
Get into the radio unit
- Remove 4 screws (Torx 35) to get the unit out from the rails (2 screws on each side)
- Unscrew the holding brackets and remove them (non touchscreen version)
- Unscrew the screws holding the upper lid and the power socket and remove the lid
- Unscrew the CD module and remove it
- Open the cable lock by pulling out it’s ends and remove the flex-cable
- Get the daughter board out by unplugging it (pull upwards)
Step 3
Soldering
Remote controls and DC power
- Feed the cables through the ventilation holes on the back of the unit. Put them through the lowest ones.
- Solder the DC power cable to the GND (BLACK wire) and ACC (RED wire) dots
- Solder the 3.5 jack cable (RED wire) to REMOCON dot
RCA cables
- Feed the cables through the ventilation holes on the back of the unit
- Solder the RED RCA cable wires (red and blue) to the main board
- Solder the WHITE RCA cable wires (yellow and blue) to the CD transport
* For both wires you need to locate and solder on to the 4th contact
Step 4
Ribbon cable modification
Prepare the flex cable
- Un-flex cable’s lower part
Isolate the 4th contact on the ribbon cable. You can either apply duct tape or cut it out. I find cutting it out easier, but if you are afraid of doing so, choose 1st option.
Step 5
Connecting Jagaux adapter
Plug 'n' Play
- Plug the wires according to photos
- Microphone plugs into PINK socket. Make sure it’s in by pressing firmly on the jack
- Microphone is barely noticeable, when installed at the mirror. If you will hide it behind the roof console, it could be hard to hear you for the caller
Step 6
Programming wheel buttons
Programming and testing
- Turn ignition on
- Locate programming button on Jagaux adapter. Press and hold till you see LEDs blink
- Press Mute – Forward – Backward
- Test them (each press will light up a corresponding LED)
