Introduction
Many owners with older Jaguar vehicles eager to find a way to connect and play
their portable audio devices will be pleased to find this adapter. The AUX-JAG97
provides an audio input jack to which they connect and play Smartphone, MP3,
iPods, Tablet etc. This adapter connects directly to the “CD” port at the radio or
pre-wired cable in trunk/hatch/boot and replaces the CD changer (if present).
Users who wish to retain CD playback may wish to consider our A2D-JAG97
music streaming adapter with CD changer retention. The AUX-JAG97 works on
all pre-1998 radios with “CD” button on faceplate and 8-pin port at the rear.
See Frequently Asked question at the end of this guide for more details.

1. Does the AUX-JAG97 work in Premium Systems?
YES; the AUX-JAG97 works in all pre- 1998 Jaguar audio systems with CD
controlling radios (CD button on faceplate). If stereo does not have CD
controls, this adapter will not work. Please check prior to ordering.
2. Your AUX-JAG97 and AUX-JAG98 list 1997 XK, how can I tell which one
I need or what’s the difference?
Jaguar XK8 audio system changed in late 1997 which means vehicles
produced in same calendar year will have different audio systems. To avoid
costly returns, we highly recommend checking the “CD” plug in all 1997 XK8:
a. If Ai-NET connector- (See Fig. 5), purchase our AUX-JAG98
b. If 8-pin DIN (male plug)- (See Fig. 5), purchase our AUX-JAG97
When in doubt check your application prior to ordering.

3. Can I connect the AUX-JAG97 directly to radio?
YES; Even if vehicle is wired to trunk/luggage compartment, it is also
possible to connect this adapter at the radio. See installation 1 on page 2.
CD changer (if present) must be disconnected.
4. My vehicle has a changer. Can I install the AUX-JAG97 and retain use
of the changer?
Frequent asked questions & troubleshooting

NO. The AUX-JAG97 takes the place of the CD changer. If vehicle has a CD
changer you wish to retain, purchase our A2D-JAG97 instead.
5. Can I control music from radio buttons?
NO; you must use audio device built-in controls to access music files. Radio
volume control button is used to set playback level.
