Introduction
Just because you drive an order car does not mean you have to settle for old
technology. Any pre-1998 Jaguar with CD changer controlling radio (TAPE/CD
button) is compatible with this module and able to make/received phone calls,
stream apps (Music, GPS etc.) and also connect and play an AUX device (e.g. MP3
player, iPod, Sat radio etc.) In addition, an optional USB charging por enables
charging those current hungry devices while on the road. Update older Jaguars
to support Bluetooth features only available on newer cars.
Warning: This module installs behind the radio cavity and requires radio
removal. CD changer (if present) must be disconnected—See our A2DIY-
JAG97CD to retain CD changer playback.

Frequent ask questions & troubleshooting
1. Does the A2DIY-JAG97-AUX work in premium systems?
YES; the A2DIY-JAG97 works in all pre 1998 Jaguar audio systems with a CD
changer controlling radios. CD changer (if present) must be disconnected.
(See our A2DIY-JAG97CD to retain CD changer playback).
2. Your A2DIY-JAG97 and A2DIY-JAG98 both list 1997 XK vehicles, how
can I tell the difference?
Jaguar XK8audio system changed in late 1997 which means vehicle
produced in the 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. 20), purchase our A2DIY-JAG98
b. If 8-pin DIN (male plug)- (See Fig. 20), purchase our A2DIY-JAG97
When in doubt check your application prior to ordering.

3. Can I connect the A2DIY-JAG97 directly to radio?
YES; This module connects directly to radio.

4. My vehicle has a CD changer. Can I install the A2DIY-JAG97 and retain
use of the changer?
NO. The A2DIY-JAG97 does NOT retain CD changer usage. Purchase our
A2DIY-JAG97CD to retain use of the changer.
5. Can I control music tacks from radio buttons?
NO; you must use audio device built-in controls to access music files or
included media button.
6. Does the A2DIY-JAG97 supports hands-free calls?
YES. In addition to music streaming and aux input, the A2DIY-JAG97
supports hands-free calls.
7. My vehicle is wired for optional changer, can I connect this module to
CD plug in trunk/hatch?
Connecting to pre-wired harness may be easier than removing
dashboard/radio, however the pre-wired plug location is not practical for
installing this Bluetooth module and because of that, the A2DIY-JAG97 must
be installed behind the radio.
8. Will I see caller’s name and number on radio screen?
NO. Neither radio or module support this, therefore the radio screen
remains in “CD” display mode and will not display caller’s
name/number/song name etc. All display features remain with audio device
(e.g., smartphone).
