Stereo wheel controls

[Colin Mac]

I have the above stereo set up in my car but have no steering wheel controls. Can I retro fit steering wheel controls easily and connect them up? Do I need to buy just controls or replacement wheel with them fitted? And is it fairly easy to run wires if all above is possible?

Also while I'm asking questions, just out of curiosity is the phone controls on stereo only for use with the Jaguar phone I've seen pics of? If so can all this be retro fitted as well and what is required? Is there a separate control module as well as the handset needed?

Still waiting on this great British weather to break to get some pics of car but will get some on soon

Thanks in advance

Hi Colin, me again.

I'm not a great DIY buff but it would help others who are more that way inclined to answer your Qs if you could confirm exactly which model you've got.

Hi

I'm not entirely sure which model I've got. It doesn't state anything on the logbook just says Xtype V6 petrol. It is 2.1 manual. Variant QAB1 version 5FFF D. If that means anything to anybody! Bought from a specialist garage and they said it was an S but looking at spec lists it doesn't match anything Parkers have listed. I think it's a classic with a few extras that Parkers say weren't available to that model 

so it is a 2.1 petrol manual, with 17" sports alloys, full black leather but not heated and only electric up and down. Climate control, stereo cd as shown but no remote controls. Electric front windows but manual rear, split fold rear seats, power fold mirrors, remote locking single point entry.

If all that points someone in the right direction for some info then it would be interesting to hear thoughts.

Save asking a multitude of questions, have a look at this and work out what you've got.  I can answer one thing though, if you're petrol you're either 2.5 or 3.0 litre.

Nope definitely a 2.1 petrol. Will have a read through link later with a glass of wine and bore the Mrs with all info on Jags 

Thanks

Beg pardon Colin, apologies for doubting you, of course there's a 2.1 V6 petrol (2001-08) ... 'cos you've got one!!

You learn something new every day, but it looks like Parkers don't refer to it as a 2.1 as they badge it as a 2.0 V6.

But then you know all that by now as you're way ahead of me. As for the exact model, that may take more than one glass of wine to sort out!

No worries. I know some refer to it as 2.0 or 2.1!!! Been to local main dealer today to pick up a catch for centre box and got them to see what was on their system. It states that mine is a base model with factory fitted extras of climate control, rear parking sensors, upgraded sound system, flint carpets, warm charcoal seat belts, power fold mirrors. Doesn't mention if the leather was an option but it's there or if the sports alloys were put on when new! So now I got an idea of where I'm at. Not that I'm worried just nice to know. It's great to drive, loving it more every time I go out. But did spend some time drooling over various models at the dealers. Already told the good lady we got to save up for a newer model! Saw a lovely XE S mmmmmmmm!

Hi Colin,

My son has a Jaguar 2.0 D and although his is a diesel it has not got the heated seats but has the split rear seats and the powerfold mirrors and similar electric windows. His model is a Sport and I think Parkers have mistaken the S for Sport.  I think the line up for the X Type early models is Classic, Sport and SE.  I had an SE on an 05 plate and asked the question when I was buying it and was told that they were the models but there were quite a few optional extras.

Peter.

Thanks Peter,

Yes is certainly confusing looking at Parkers lists. That would make sense being Sport with additional extras. Not that I'm too fussed just nice to know these things.
