How it works

Simple, yet powerful

Two devices, one method. Both sit behind the trim of your Jaguar, both use connectors that are already there, and neither leaves a trace when removed.

JagBT 2.0

Sound: an amplifier, not an adaptor

JagBT is an external, high quality, Bluetooth enabled digital amplifier combined with an audio grade switchbox. Being an external amp, it bypasses the speaker wires from your existing radio to itself and plays your music through them.

Push the toggle switch and you are on Bluetooth. Push it again and your original stereo is back, exactly as it was. Nothing about the factory system is removed or disabled.

Your steering wheel buttons keep working for track and volume, and the microphone in the box lets you take calls hands free.

Vision: a camera on the screen you already have

If your car has satellite navigation, it already has the screen. JagBT Vision feeds a reversing camera into it, so the picture appears when you select reverse and disappears when you do not.

It is plug and play in the same sense as the audio unit: no wire splicing, no soldering and no intrusive modification. The correct hole saw drill bit is supplied in the box.

A written installation guide and a video come with it.

What it is, how it goes in, how you use it

JagBT 2.0 and 3.0JagBT Vision
What it is An external, high quality, Bluetooth enabled digital amplifier combined with an audio grade switchbox. A camera interface that puts a reversing camera on the factory satellite navigation screen.
How it goes in Remove the stereo, unplug the radio, plug it into JagBT and plug JagBT into the radio. About half an hour. It plugs in line at the navigation DVD drive in the boot. No cutting or modification of the vehicle harness.
How you use it Pair your phone once after installation. It reconnects on its own from then on. Select reverse and the camera picture appears on the screen by itself. No coding and no extra control modules.
