Common questions
Which wire is the 12 V constant on the XK (X150) radio connector?
IP057 pin 1, wire colour NW (Brown with White tracer). It stays live with the key out: this is the memory feed.
Which pin is the ground on the XK (X150) head unit connector?
IP057 pin 8, wire colour B (Black).
What are the speaker wire colours on the XK (X150)?
RIGHT_FRONT + — pin 1, WG; REAR_LEFT_POS — pin 3, WU; REAR_RIGHT_POS — pin 4, WG; LEFT_FRONT + — pin 6, WU; RIGHT_FRONT – — pin 7, RW; REAR_LEFT_NEG — pin 9, YU; REAR_RIGHT_NEG — pin 10, YR; LEFT_FRONT – — pin 12, Y.
What connector does the XK (X150) head unit use?
The head unit sits on IP057 and IP058. Jaguar colour codes are not the aftermarket standard, so match an adapter by pin number, not by wire colour.
Notes and caveats
Years. Wire colours are unchanged from 2006 to 2012. The 2006 cars carry an extra brown-white wire on IP057/2 that later cars do not; its circuit is not identified.
Right-hand drive. The pins do not change, the front colours do: on right-hand-drive cars pin 1 is WU, pin 6 is WG, pin 7 is Y and pin 12 is RW. Pin 6 is the left front output on both builds, and the rear pairs are the same.
Front polarity. Marked on the rear channels only. The front + and – follow the same column order.
Way counts. No official way count is quoted. Pins up to 12 are used on IP058 and up to 8 on IP057.
Only the audio path is listed. The module also carries MOST, CAN and the antenna feeds on IP052, IP053 and CA116. Only power, ground and the four speaker channels appear above.
Not the connectivity module. The head unit is the part ending -18C815-. The USB and iPod box — C2P19340 or C2Z1486, parts ending -14D212- or -18C941- — is a different unit on the same ring.
Which head unit is fitted
Head units this fits. 6G9N-18C815-*, 6F6N-18C815-*, 7G9N-18C815-*, C2P22868. XK / XKR (X150) 2007–2015. The head unit is the part ending -18C815-; 6G9N is the AM/FM CD unit and 6F6N the navigation one. Jaguar service number C2P22868 covers both cars: XF and XK share this head unit.
