Ever wanted to upgrade your Jaguar X100 or X308 factory radio to support music from flash drives, streaming and hold hands free calls?
Using a phone in any way while driving can be dangerous and if your vintage Jaguar still runs great, but lacking support for more attractive modern media formats such as Bluetooth, flash drives etc. and if you are well beyond CD's, cassette tapes or listening to the same old commercials on the radio; the BT6-JAG98 module is for you! (1) Hands-Free Profile (HFP) is not only less distracting than trying to juggle a phone while steering but it’s also the only legal way to do it in many states. (2) Streaming audio (A2DP) allows users to stream internet music, turn-by-turn directions, podcast and more.(3) AVRCP allows the car radio and/or steering wheel SEEK buttons to change tracks, answer/end calls etc. (4) USB media player allows playback and control of MP3, WMA, Flac and other music formats on USB memory sticks or SD/SDHC cards in CD quality. USB charging port provides 5V/2.1A charging current to help maintain a charge on your devices while on the road and (5) AUX input includes a 3.5mm input jack to connect and play wired audio devices. After initial pairing and upon entering vehicle, your Smart device will automatically and wirelessly connect to the module hidden in the vehicle armrest or behind the dash. This clean solution leaves no wires or clutter on or around the dash and is the accessory you want if looking for Bluetooth connectivity without altering the dashboard components or investing in a new radio.
