Gbbzh Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi, I have a 2010 XK 5.0l. I have the iPod connection and USB in the arm rest. The phone system works very well through bluetooth. now my question, can anyone clarify how I connect my iPhone to stream music, I believe there is an adapter and a cable but there seems to be many on the market. Also is streaming music will the phone remain fully functional. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Peter Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi David, and welcome to the club. I bought my son one of these - can't recall the name - but it cost £15.99, and was recommended by another member, and it worked very well on his x type. His phone is not disabled, either. Regards, Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raistlin Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 As far as I'm aware David, if you have the USB connection then you just need to connect the iPhone with a standard iPhone cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbbzh Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 You would think so, I tried this and although it charges the phone it doesn't see the phone in the audio setting whilst looking for external source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raistlin Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Have you tried with a simple USB stick David, to confirm that the system is at least functioning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbbzh Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 No I haven't, good idea and I was going to but that led to a new problem (sorry). I use iTunes and Apple Music and couldn't find any way to save any of my playlists to a stick. To be frank I would prefer it if this worked. I guess I'll need to go onto a MacBook forum next. thanks.

Raistlin Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Initially, I'd just copy some standard audio files to a stick and see if the car's system can see them David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raistlin Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 My other thought David, is that the iPhone 6, especially, seems to be able to detect and not use a non Apple lead. It's just another possibility. I know my iPohne 6 kicks up a fuss when I connect it to a PC with anything other than a genuine lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
