I know fook all about the phone but glad you got a Jag. Have a look to see if there is some sort of sand bag on top of the heads cause im sure ive seen this before.

A 51 plate X type would have had a wide band handset fitted in the centre console if it had been spec'd with one when built. All X types, S types and XJ's had phone buttons fitted even if no phone was optioned in! Jaguar Bluetooth is guff anyway what with compatibility issues so probably wouldn't be worth the hassle of trying to modify it to accept it. All Jaguars after late 2005 had to be pre wired at the factory for it to then become a dealer fit option.

If the car happens to have a phone in the centre console then to try and get it working you would need a contract SIM card as pay as go ones tend not to work in them!

Other than that, you'd probably be best with a parrot Bluetooth system as it tends to work with all phones unlike the Jaguar system!

Hope this helps
