JagBT 2.0 · In the dashboard

Behind the stereo in about half an hour

Nothing is spliced and nothing is soldered, but you will drill one hole for the toggle switch.

The three tools laid out: a T30 torx bit, a Philips bit and a 6mm drill bit

Tools required

Three tools, nothing specialist

A T30 torx screwdriver, a Philips screwdriver and a drill with a 6mm bit.

Before you start, check your speaker setup. The standard audio package takes JagBT 2.0 and cars equipped with the Alpine premium system take JagBT 3.0, so it is worth a minute to be sure which one you have.

The 6mm hole drilled in the ashtray for the JagBT toggle switch, beside the cigar lighter
Step 1

Drill the switch hole

Eleven o'clock from the cigar lighter is the best position for the toggle switch. Drill the hole about 5 to 7mm off the lighter housing.

Drill the ashtray while it is still mounted, not after you have taken it out.

Step 2

Remove the ashtray and the stereo

Gently pull the gearstick gaiter up and open the ashtray door to reveal two Philips screws. Undo them, take the ashtray out and disconnect its two connectors.

Pull the hazard light bezel towards you while rocking it up and down, then undo the four T30 screws. Some early models have two T30 screws and two 8mm nuts.

Pull the stereo out and disconnect the hazard light, heated seat and climate control connectors.

Step 3

Fit JagBT

Find the gap behind and under the stereo. You may take out the insulation foam there to give JagBT better air flow. Put JagBT in the gap with its longer side parallel to the floor, the fan outlet facing the gear stick and nothing blocking it.

Plug the connector you took off the stereo into JagBT, and plug JagBT's second connector into the stereo. Connect the microphone now, before anything goes back together. Then reconnect the remaining connectors, refit the stereo and its screws, and tidy up.

Step 4

Let's party

Turn the ignition to position I. On your phone, look for a new device named "Bluetooth Audio" and connect to it.

Switch over to JagBT, press play and enjoy. You can set the volume from your phone.
