Introduction
Those Jaguar owners who are adamant about hanging on to the original radio and audio system we offer a line of adapters that sure to open up a whole lot of different options for listening to music and other audio content. The JAG-CD adapter provides a 3.5mm Audio jack which can be used to connect and play all kinds of audio devices including Smartphones, MP3 Players, iPods, Zune, iPads etc. The JAG-CD auxiliary input adapter does not control or charge audio device and connects to the back of the radio in late 1997-99 XJ (X308) and XK (X100) Standard OR Premium Audio Systems and 2000-03 XJ (X308) and 2000- 06 XK (X100) Standard Audio Systems only. See Frequently Asked questions at the end of this guide for more details.
