Hi I have  2003 x type 2.5 auto awd

I was going to put in a double din stereo, ordered the wiring adaptors and found that they aren't the right ones they only fit one of the 3 looms that are on the back of the stereo. So I would like to know what the wire looms are  I have added two picture of the wires I don't know so do please help thanks

HI

are you trying to replace the 7" jaguar touch screen, with a after market one, if so you cant, because you will lose all you heater climate control.

the cable your holding a a fibre optic D2B network on the car, all the sound is digitaly sent down that fibre optic, that fibre optic loops into every thing with sound on the car, and send it to the amp for sound,if any of the fibre loop is disconnected you will loose all the sound on the car, stereo, cd, dvd, nav ,voice , phone, bluetooth

If your car has the older lcd display, then this connector is not used, unless your car has nav, voice , phone, bluetooth and the loom you have is most probably correct

what stereo are you replacing

cheers

Joe

thanks for reply

I have just the cd radio with no bluetooth does this mean the top cable is redundant ? and is the second one the ariel and if so what is the connection called so I can get a adaptor for it

thanks 

hi

yes the other is aerial

does your car have the 7" touch screen

cheers

Joe

The aerial connector is "Fakra"

no I don't have 7" screen its just a cd and radio I was sold the loom in the picture it should work with steering wheel buttons but I don't know how and when I saw the other two wires I didn't want install until I kne what they where not sure what the block is it doesn't connect to anything in the car 

I am trying to install a JVC KW-R920BT Bluetooth Double Din Stereo

thanks

HI

 it should work, was the fibre optic plugged into the cd player

are you planning to remove the cd player

cheers

Joe

yes I am replacing the whole bottom section and putting in a double din stereo just leaving the heater at the top and yes the fibre plug is plugged in to the stereo at the back

thanks

Hi

yes it should work

the fibre optic cable wont be used and you just need a adapter for the aerial

cheers

Joe

I have fitted the stereo and works fine but there wasn't a wire from the box that says its for the steering wheel buttons looked at a lot of the same looms and the all don't have this wire so question is what wire do i need and where to get it from ?

thanks

Hi

You wont get the steering wheel buttons to work on any other stereo

the buttons on the steering wheel communicate with the body control module with canbus and then communicates with the stereo also with canbus

as far as I'm aware no one does a canbus adapter for steering controls for Jaguars

cheers
