Many Jaguar owners looking for a simple but effective way of connecting portable
audio devices to their cars without changing the look and feel of dashboard
components; namely the radio will be thrilled to find this adapter. The AUX-JAG and

and play their audio devices in 1998-03 XJ (X308) and 1997-06 XK (X100) with CD
Changer. Keep in mind, CD changer remains connected but will no longer play. To
retain use of the changer, purchase our JAG-CD or
