Portable mediaPORTABLE MEDIA CONNECTIONS
Portable media devices  can be connected to 
the media hub located in the cubby box. 
Compatible portable  devices include:
• USB mass storage devices (e.g. a memory 
stick). Devices must use FAT or FAT32 file 
format.
• iPod (iPod Classic, iP od Touch, iPhone and 
iPod Nano are supported - full functionality 
for older devices cannot be guaranteed). 
iPod Shuffle functi onality cannot be 
guaranteed.
Note:  iPod and iPhone are trademarks of 
Apple Inc., registered in the USA and other 
countries.
• Auxiliary device (personal audio, MP3 
players, all iPods).
Note:  Auxiliary devices have no touch 
screen control.
If you are connecting an iPod, mass storage or 
Bluetooth® device, use  the touch screen to 
operate and search the device. Many of the 
controls are similar to those available for CD 
play.
Please disconnect  your iPod when 
leaving the vehicle. Failure to do so may 
result in the iPod  battery discharging.
Note:  The audio system will play MP3, WMA 
and AAC files.
To maximise playba ck quality, it is 
recommended that lossless compression is 
used for any media file s on USB or iPod. Failing 
this, it is recommended that compressed files 
utilise a minimum bitrate of 192 kb/s (a higher 
bitrate is strongly recommended).
Note:  Some MP3 players have their own file 
system that is not suppor ted by this system. To 
use your MP3 player, you must set it to USB 
Removable Device or Mass Storage Device 
mode. Only music that  has been added to the 
device in this mode can be played.
CONNECTING A DEVICE
Always refit the rubber cover when a 
portable device is  not plugged in. This 
prevents damage to the sockets. The 
cover is not waterproof.
1. USB sockets.
2. Auxiliary socket (AUX).
Connect the device into the appropriate socket.
When an iPod is conne cted, playback will 
continue from the point at which it was last 
playing, provided the iPod battery is in a good 
state of charge.
When a USB or Bluetooth® device is 
connected, playback will continue from the 
point it was last played. If a device is already 
connected when  AUX is selected, playback will 
continue from the point at which it was last 
playing.
Please refer to the Ow nership section of the 
Jaguar website at  www.jaguar.com, for a list 
of compatible devices.

BLUETOOTH® INFORMATION
The Jaguar Bluetoot h® system supports 
Bluetooth® Hands-Fre e Profile (HFP), 
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 
and Audio Video Remote Control Profile 
(AVRCP).
Note:  HFP and A2DP/AVRCP profiles can be 
connected independently, so a phone can be 
connected via one, while  a media device can be 
connected via the other,  at the same time.
Before making use of  the vehicle’s Bluetooth 
phone system, your Bl uetooth phone must be 
paired and connected to the vehicle system. 
This is done using one of two methods; via 
your phone to the vehicl e or from the touch 
screen to your phone. If one of these methods 
is not successful,  try the other option.
Each time the ignition is switched on the 
system will attempt to connect with the last 
connected phone.
As mobile phones have  a wide range of audio 
and echo characteristics, it may take a few 
seconds for the vehicle  system to adapt and 
deliver optimum audio performance. To 
achieve this, it may be necessary to reduce the 
in-vehicle volume a nd ventilation fan speed 
slightly.
TELEPHONE SAFETY
Switch off your telephone in areas 
with a high explos ion risk. This 
includes filling stat ions, fuel storage 
areas or chemical factories, as well 
as places where the air contains fuel 
vapour, chemicals or metal dust. Always stow your mobile phone 
securely.
The functioning of cardiac 
pacemakers or hearing aids may be 
impaired when the phone is in use. 
Check with a doctor or manufacturer 
whether any such devices you or your 
passengers are using, are sufficiently 
protected against high-frequency 
energy.
The Health Industry Manufacturers' 
Association recommends that a minimum 
separation of 15 centimetres (six inches) is 
maintained between a wireless phone antenna 
and a pacemaker, to  avoid potential 
interference with the pacemaker. These 
recommendations are consistent with the 
independent research by, and 
recommendations of, Wi reless Technology 
Research. 
Bluetooth® is the name for 
short-range radio frequency (RF) 
technology that allows electronic 
devices to communicate 
wirelessly with each other.
