X-type Jaguar
Working out what went where was also easy with the aid of the drawing above.
Before I started I read the installation manual and the user guide to get my head around just
what I was fitting and how it worked.
Almost immediately I realized that I did not want to sacrifice my central storage bin (under the
armrest) where I keep a few CDs and bits and pieces. Jaguar recommend drilling and screwing
the RCA and USB inputs into the front of the bin:
As it will be used most I wanted the iPod connector near the arm rest and wasn’t really bothered where
the other two went as long as they were readily accessible but out of the way.
On closer examination I found a cable path through to the bin from the rear under the hinge plate –
which meant I could feed the iPod connector through without drilling at all – see later
I also decided to fix the RCA input and the USB connector to the side of the central tunnel in a position
that would not impede the passenger seat moving forward or get in the way of peoples legs – again see
later.
Having decided on where to locate the components it was time to dismantle!
I disconnected the battery just to be sure nothing went wrong.
First – remove the DSC switch by gently prising upwards (or
coin holder if you don’t have that) and disconnect the cables
underneath.
