Another great video, thanks for confirming parking sensors, please add car settings to the next video, would be great if you could make a phone call to confirm if the original mic is working.
The original mic doesn't work unfortunately. I got some wiring diagrams, which show how to get it work, but I didn't want to mess around. Now I ordered a new one, which works with the original mic, based on the confirmation of the seller. I am afraid that this won't work too, but we will see. The new device is in the description.
Many thanks for posting these videos. It is not a task i would do myself, but if I wanted to get it done, I could at least get a reasonably accurate quote from an automotive A/V specialist if they would watch it :) One thing I don't think you covered is what happens with voice-activated Jaguar features. Do they still work? Are they effectively replaced by voice functions in the new device, or are they not available at all? I am not sure that it would worry me either way, but it would be nice to know :)
Hi, Are you able to provide me with pictures of the harness with the RCA/Cinch connectors that connects to the head unit as i have now bought one and it is missing, also are you able to tell me what the orange cable coming from this part of the loom is? Thanks, Phil
can you please share a link for which one you got from ali express there is loads advertised i love my xf but the screen is so dated and i want a replacement that works thanks
I got it from Aliexpress. There are many different types and different sellers now. The one I have is not available anymore. I added a new one to the description, which I just bought, becasue the seller just confirmed that the dash clock and the original mic will work. They do not work with the one in the video. With coupons I got $118 rabatt for the 8G-256GB version. Otherwise just search for Android 11 GPS Jaguar XF on Aliexpress and pay attention to the details. You can get Tesla style devices even with wood design or these 2DIN ones. Also pay attention to the build years of the Jag. It is important to differentiate between pre facelift and facelift versions.
How have your experience been i got mine a few days ago but there are just too many bugs. 1) Ac vents don't close when you turn off the ac. 2) Heated seats power is very poor , with the OEM system i could feel the seats very hot within seconds. 3) Cooled seats also have poor power can't even feel them and there's a bug in the menu, when you press the left side it displays the right side and vice versa. 4) There's is no heated steering button, only an option to activate it in the car settings, it stays on all the time heating the steering constantly. 5) There is no way of setting the clock on the instrument cluster, i had to disconnect the battery and now i cannot adjust the correct time. 6) There are some bugs in the car info menu when pressing air circulation sensitivity the auto sensitivity moves. 7) It drained my battery by sitting overnight, i got all sorts of errors messages on the dash, luckly i was able to jump start and fix it, but this can go awfully wrong there are horror stories about this. For now I'm going to stick back the old system it's not worth the risk, the battery draining can literally destroy your car.
Also ich überlege es mir auch zu kaufen. Habe 2008 XF X250 2.7D in forums liest man, wird nicht funktionieren! Aber wenn laut dieses Video funktioniert es auch bei Vorfacelift XF.
The white cable is the actual radio cable. I don't know what the brown one is.

Thanks a lot! Great video, nice information.
My factory screen is blinking on and off I was told it the Bluetooth module that under the seat. Will the radio work without the module working
Were I can buy this?

Sorry, no voice activated features work.
Bist du immer noch zufrieden mit dem Radio?

Ich habe auch vorfacelift x250. Es wird sicher funktionieren.
