The corect location is beside the phone module on the Kaiser panel. There will be three square holes which will accept clips but you can just use nuts and bolts.

Håvard, Have a look at this document. It applies to X S and XJ Please let me know if it helps 🙂 D2B Fibre Optic Splicing.pdf

Håvard, What you have there is a complete D2B loom for a specific level of equipment. Personally, I would just inset another connector in your present D2B loom where convenient. Contrary to popular opinion it doesn't matter which order the modules are connected. Another alternative is to use a splitter which you could make out of the loom you've bought, so ou would unplug one module and use the splitter to reconnect to that module and also your voice module. You could change the whole loom for the one you've bought but seems unneccessary. Splicing a connector into your present loom would be easy and I can send you instructions when I get home from work if you want. You can visualise the D2B loom as a big circle with each module linked serially but always in the same direction. Paul

Håvard The Voice module mounts on the back of the Kaiser panel ( a metal ribbed panel which can be seen once you remove the DVD stack). The connector will be in the loom there. It will have a grey spongy covering. You will find that the plug does not completely fill the socket in the module.

Håvard , Have you got a microphone fitted next to the overhead console? Also, please can you add a picture of the D2B cable you have bought?

If you can get over to Wolverhampton / Stafford, we can fit it for you

You don't have a voice module fitted I'd suspect. They're dead simple to fit though.

RF adaptors are plentiful on fleabay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iSimple-IS31-Universal-Car-Stereo-FM-Modulator-Aux-Adapter-with-On-Off-Switch/252186114342?hash=item3ab776b926:g:jtQAAOSwZrtaw~L2:rk:2:pf:0 ACM are like rocking horse teeth but will usually be found on fleabay

RF link to a radio channel (Cheap - poor audio quality) or Audio Connectivity Module (Excellent audio quality - expensive)

There are four bolts holding the electronics rack to the floor of the car Richard, from memory 10mm socket and extension required to get at the back ones. The whole cradle will then slide away sufficiently to get at the connectors or, indeed, to remove the amp. From your further description I am of the opinion that the connectors need to be checked for security and if they are satisfactory, I would try another amp. It's unfortunate that you are some distance from Wolverhampton otherwise you could have turned up at my house and I would be able to fit another amp for confirmation of the fault and my friend Denis could probably locate a permanent replacement if it was required. If you're passing this way (less than 10 minutes from M6 J10a) at all I'd be happy to take a look for you. Alternatively, maybe somebody you know locally might be prepared to let you swap out the amp. Those are my thoiughts as things stand. Let me know if I can help.

unplug and refit the largest connector at the amplifier (Top of the electronics stack left hand side of boot space). If no better suspect amp. Are you getting any sound from the sat nav or voice (if fitted)?

You only need to connect the power under the bonnet for a second and press the boot release button, Then you can get to thew battery direct.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a DAB+ / FM aerial splitter which works with the amplified aerials fitted in S-Type, X-Type XJ etc. please?

I've seen steering lock failure several times. There isn't a code as far as I'm aware. However, the problem can usually be fixed by a quick reset on the Jaguar diagnostics. If not then the steering lock module is faulty and needs to be replaced. DO you get any indication of a steering lock error on the drivers display or, as I said, do you hear the relay clunk when you insert the key?

Do you hear the steering lock solenoid operating when you put the key in to the ignition?

This is your pre heater running. It may have a damaged exhaust, being merely a flexible corrugated pipe but even with a serviceable pipe you still get the fumes and smell. Nothing to worry about, all it does is bring the engine coolant to temperature more quickly than otherwise. You could pull the fuse if you wanted to do without it.

Thanks Trevor. That's a good start. Would appreciate any update.

Following the new MOT regulations earlier this year there appears to be some anecdotal confusion regarding LED bulbs in main beam lights. Has anybody with non standard LED main beam bulbs managed to get an MOT pass please?

This will help if you don't know much about the ACM http://www.jimrothe.com/jaguar/acm-bluetooth/acm.html

I'm upgrading to Jagdroid in my S-Type so my ACM kit is up for grabs if anybody wants it? This will be the complete kit and if required I can fit it for you. If you are not sure, it allows you to connect USB, Ipod, Iphone MP3 player and any RCA device to the car's audio system. No longer available from Jaguar I understand. Anybody interested? £300 ono

If it comes to changing the switchpack, all that is required is to remove the air bag module, and the switchpack is immediately visible and held in place by two small screws.

OK, would have been my second choice. Sorry to hear the news.

Don't tell me - let me guess... V6 2.7 diesel?
