Introduction:
This easy to install Bluetooth “triple play” kit is essential to keeping your classic
as stock possible with up-to-date Bluetooth features. This module sounds great
for mobile conversations, streaming music, AUX playback and more.
NEW! Bluetooth media button (replaces smart remote) and used to adjust
smartphone volume, pause, play tracks, answer/end calls and more and easily
mounted to steering wheel or dashboard. In addition, an optional USB “Fast
charge” kit is available to charge those power-hungry devices while on the road.
Also available as an option is our dash mount microphone. (Go to page 6 for
details)
Keep original radio and CD changer while enjoying Bluetooth features only
available in newer cars.
Note: The A2DIY-JAG98 does not interfere with the functionality of existing
AM/FM/radio), and requires/retains use of the 6-disc changer.
This module connects to the CD changer plug in
trunk/hatch--- Will not function if connection is made at
the radio. Purchase our A2DIY-JAG98R which connects
to the back of the radio
See Frequently Asked question at the end of this guide for more details.
Installing audio module: (Connects to CD changer plug in
trunk/hatch)
1. Remove carpet trim piece surrounding audio rack (See Fig. 1). If rack
does not have Navigation, you may use that space to access the CD
changer connecting plug, however if vehicle has Navigation, accessing
the plug usually requires lowering rack by removing (4) 8mm nuts
which then allows the rack to lean forward revealing wiring.
Fig. 1
2. Locate short thick black pigtail cable on CD Auto changer. This cable
leads to amplifier (premium systems) or to radio (standard systems).
(See Fig. 2)

Fig. 2
3. Remove cable from holding tab (See Fig. 2), disconnect from
amplifier/radio by pulling apart (do not twist)
4. Once separated, female connector (right) leads to changer and male
plug (left) leads to amplifier or radio (See Fig. 3)
Fig. 3
5. Connect factory male plug with female connector on module. Simply
align arrows and push straightforward (avoid twisting) See (See Fig. 4)
Fig. 4
6. Connect module male plug (See Fig. 4) to CD changer female
connector (See Fig. 3)
Note: Male right angle plug does not have an arrow; Align
imaginary arrow shown in Fig. 4a with arrow on factory CD
female connector (See Fig. 3), otherwise risk damaging plug.
Fig. 4a
Noteworthy:
You will find multiple Ai-Net type plugs/connectors on audio rack
components and more so in vehicles with premium sound (e.g., Amplifier,
Navigation etc.). In premium systems, audio module connects between CD
changer and amplifier and in standard systems (no amplifier) between CD
changer and radio.
To minimize connecting errors, locate single black cable
emerging from the CD auto changer –(female cable seen in Fig. 3.)
Connecting audio module to something other than CD auto changer will
result in low playback, no power to radio etc.
7. Route audio module 8-pin plug to center console area.

Routing Audio cable (sedan)
1. Use pry tool to open gap between window pillar and rear deck as seen
in Fig. 5. From inside trunk fish audio plug (See Fig. 4) through and
into the cabin. (See Fig. 6)

2. Pull excess cable and begin tucking under backrest and seat cushion as
you work towards the rear of the center glove box (armrest) as seen
in Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9

3. Continue to use pry tool or fingers to fish wire under center glove box
to storage bin.
4. To remove storage bin: Open the center glove box and remove 2
Philips head screws from latch cover and two more from hinge then
remove the single screw on retainer bracket.
5. Lift to remove storage bin and set aside.
6. Locate audio plug fed through in step 3 and gently pull excess cable.
Note: The aforementioned steps apply to sedan models. X100 (convertibles)
requires additional steps not part of this guide.

Installing Bluetooth Module
In our 2001 XJR test vehicle with Premium Audio, the Bluetooth module was
installed in armrest (See Fig. 10). In this area you will also find factory
phone plug (See Fig. 11) and cigar lighter, either of which can be used to
power module (see Fig. 10).

1. Connect/Tap module Red wire to 12V Accessory supply (Do not
connect to constant battery supply)
If vehicle has phone plug, use chart below to tap module accessory
wires. Always test prior to making connection.

2. If vehicle does not have a phone plug, use cigar lighter power lines
under console:

Note: Cigar lighter power may introduce noise into the system. This is not the result of
a faulty module but vehicles electrical system. Find a clean power/ground supply (we
recommend factory phone plug). If engine noise is still an issue, consider adding this
noise filter or similar.
3. Connect audio module 8-pin DIN plug routed from trunk (See Fig. 4) to
Bluetooth module female connector seen in Fig. 13
