JAG97CD-HF
QUICK START BLUETOOTH INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SELECT 1986-97 JAGUAR WITH CD CHANGER
Created May 15, 2016
Revised: March 14, 2021

Introduction:
Just because you drive an older car does not mean you have to settle for old
technology. Safety comes first when you’re on the road, so having an intuitive
and easy to use Bluetooth kit is essential to reducing driver distraction. The
JAG97CD-HF kit is compatible with virtually all Bluetooth phones, and sounds
great whether you are using it for mobile conversations or streaming music. In
addition, the JAG97CD-HF works in select pre-1997 Jaguars with a functioning
6-disc CD changer in trunk/hatch. The required CD changer remains
connected and functional. If vehicle does not have a CD changer, purchase our
A2DIY-JAG97 instead.
See Frequent Asked questions and Feature Comparison at the end of this
guide
Notes:
- If radio is in AM/FM mode, muting will not occur when initiating/receiving
phone call. Muting is only possible if radio already in Bluetooth Mode (CDC).
- Must use push-to-talk button with built-in microphone included with kit
- a functioning CD changer is required and remains fully operational.

microphone. Keep in mind, button must be within driver reach (cable is
6ft. long).
We recommend completing the rest of the install prior to
securing button to dash. Once location has been decided simply
remove tape backing (See Fig. 6) and stick to a flat surface.
