WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Devices that can be connected to the portable audio interface panel include:

Universal Serial Bus (USB) mass storage devices (for example a memory stick). Devices must use FAT or FAT32 file format.
iPod® (iPod® Classic, iPod® Touch, iPhone™ and iPod® Nano are supported - full functionality for older devices cannot be guaranteed). iPod® Shuffle functionality cannot be guaranteed.
Auxiliary device (personal audio, Moving Picture Experts Group Layer-3 Audio (MP3) players).
Devices with Bluetooth® connectivity. Devices must support A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth® protocols.

When connecting a portable storage device, select AUX on the Touch Screen (TS) to select that device input. Depending on the device connected, many of the audio controls on the TS and steering wheel switches can be used.

NOTE: It is recommended to disconnect an iPod® when leaving the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in the iPod® battery discharging.

To maximize playback quality, it is recommended to use lossless compression for any media files on iPod®. Failing this, it is recommended that compressed files utilize a minimum bitrate of 192 kilobits per second (kbps) (a higher bitrate is strongly recommended for increased quality playback).

For media files delivered via USB or MP3 players, the highest compression rate supported is 320 kbps. If anything less than 128 kbps is used, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) functionality may be lost.

Some MP3 players may have a file system that is not supported by the AHU. To use an MP3 player, it must be set to USB Removable Device or Mass Storage Device mode. Only music that has been added to the device in this mode can be played.
