Hi all,

 

It seems that my S Type will be endowed with a CD changer in the boot.

 

I would prefer to use my iPod for my music.

 

Is there any iPod connectivity please?

Nobody uses an iPod in their S type?

Hi Paul,

 

I think there is some kind of ability to use these new fangled gadgets in cars but I don't have an iPod.

 

Having come from the days when having a radio in a car was an optional extra, I am more than happy with a CD interchanger in the boot  --  currently I have Rod Stewart's Great American Songbook, and two Ella Fitzgerald discs.

 

Some members will know how to connect an iPod.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Hi Paul, do not have S-Type however my XKR came with an from the Arc cassette head unit and CD changer mounted in the Boot. There was not even the option of a usb port for plugging in an iPod.

Therefore, I decided to change the head unit for something more modern playing mp3, wav files etc and a usb socket for the iPod

Yeh, bit of a shock for me too as I always played my music from a USB stick...! Anyway, if you don't want to mess with the current set up get a Parrot kit installed. There is a kit for about £140.00 (MKi9200) which will connect to your phone/download your contacts and stream music etc by Bluetooth and also has hard wired connections for ipod, USB and 3.5mm jack. Widely available on Interweb and Halfords also stock a range of Parrott kits too. Obviously need to get it fitted but better option than replacing what's there and you can remove it to use on another car when/if you sell the Jag.

This should give you all everything you could possibly need I would have thought.

Cheers

Search for "audio connectivity module"

Not cheap though, there's one on eBay for £380!!!

Mine came with the acm in the armrest and TV/DVD Player in the centre. Dont have an ipod though but guess it still works. Always play my music from my phone which works great

In view of the ridiculous price of an ACM I'll try the Connects 2 device and see if it works first :)

 

ACM would be OEM of course.

As Andy put above. Audio connectivity module.

heres a google image of it.

Thanks Martin - sorry I changed my previous post before you did the one above.

OK,

 

Connects 2 device doesn't work with the later optical head unit so i've bitten the bullet and bought a CD changer instead. I'll just have to burn my music to CDs.

 

Now, can anybody tell me how to fit the boot mounted CD changer in an S Type please?
