Jaguar Bluetooth Pairing Guide: How to Connect Phone to X-Type, S-Type & XJ

Guides

Driving a classic Jaguar—whether it’s an X-Type, S-Type, or XJ—is an incredible experience. However, integrating modern technology like smartphone audio can be challenging. If you’re searching for a Bluetooth kit for Jaguar or a definitive Jaguar wireless audio solution, you’ve come to the right place. This guide provides the exact steps required to connect phone to Jaguar for hands-free calls, and explains the critical upgrade needed for music streaming.

Quick Guide: How to Connect Your Phone (All Models)

The original factory phone system in these models is exclusively designed for hands-free calls. The procedure to put the system into pairing mode and connect phone to Jaguar is identical across the X-Type, S-Type, and XJ:

  1. Activate Car Pairing Mode: On your radio or touchscreen, use the phone keypad to enter ##3#*# and press the [Send] button (the green handset icon). The system is now in ‘discovery mode’.

  2. Phone Discovery: On your mobile phone, go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth. Scan for new devices. Select ‘Jaguar’ when it appears.

  3. Enter PIN: When prompted, enter the default pairing PIN: 1313.

  4. Complete: Confirm the connection.

The Missing Link: Why Music Streaming Fails

You have successfully paired your phone, but music apps like Spotify or podcasts won’t play. This is the biggest frustration for owners seeking a Jaguar Bluetooth solution. The original factory module only supports voice calls (HFP profile), not music streaming (A2DP profile). This is a physical limitation of the car’s 1990s and early 2000s technology, making a true Jaguar music streaming fix impossible with the factory parts alone.

The Complete Solution: Seamless Wireless Audio

If you want reliable Jaguar wireless audio and streaming from your favorite apps, the only way is a simple, non-destructive hardware upgrade.

Our Jagaux Bluetooth adapter is the definitive Bluetooth kit for Jaguar. It solves the A2DP problem by integrating seamlessly with your existing head unit, delivering CD-quality music streaming while keeping your interior entirely original.
