11 Steps to installing Android Auto in your Jaguar XF

[@JaguarFD2017]

This man is my hero for some reason

[@Rickbearcat]

Thank you for this tutorial! The people that don't like the longer videos are here to be just entertained. Those of us that are interested in the process of how you go from step one to done are more than willing to watch any amount of detail you care to include regardless of how much longer that makes the video in the end. I think that your videos and instructions are a high water mark for the XF series of cars and you should be proud of the work you put in to show us how to modify and car for these cars. I know that I enjoy watching each and every one of them.

I just bought a Bosch box for the Jaaag. I noticed it now has wireless connectivity for Carplay etc. Your video will definitely help with its installation.

[@TheLiquidLunchMan]

Great Vid, Hilton, nice one ! However, once again, it’s a solution which states “Not compatible with earlier (2007-2010) Mark 1 XF with Denso system or Mk2 XF.”

[@ThisIsDonovan]

Only recently joined the Jag family and your videos are my first point of call for anything I'm thinking of doing . Thanks 👍🏼

[@johnmccolgan2177]

Take as long as you want. Your videos are so informative. True fans won't care. Fantastic job 👏 👍

[@carfanfan]

Thanks John. Well said. I honestly don't know what some people expect when clicking 9n my videos. Clearly I disappoint them. But as you said, true fans won't be disappointed 😉. This was one video I couldn't keep short due to the complex procedure in the installation. I usually have to edit hours of footage into just 20 minutes or shorter and it's hard to decide what to keep and what to edit out as there is much knowledge that isn't shared. Hopefully the next video will be shorter as it's re-dying and conditioning my car's worn seats. Thanks for the support 🤗

[@barrycraig]

Great video! I installed this exact unit from the same supplier in my 2018 XEs earlier this year. If you want to take it to the next level buy a little device called an "AAWireless". It allows for wireless connectivity without having to select your phone manually on the touch screen every time, it also let's you route your audio directly to your cars Bluetooth and bypass the IDcore entirely, this means you can use stalk controls to skip tracks still and use the much, much better jaguar OEM mic for calls. You can even change the DPI to alter the scale of Android auto on the screen. I can't recommend it highly enough.

[@carfanfan]

Thanks for the info Barry. Why do you say you can't recommend it highly though? Is it glitchy?

[@ProfessorDavidson]

@@carfanfan "can't recommend it highly enough", as in even his highest recommendation wouldn't do it justice, because it's so good. Alas, I have a 2010 XF, therefore a Denso system and won't be able to perform this upgrade. Great video though!

[@barrycraig]

@@carfanfan @professordavidson is correct, not glitchy at all once set up and really improves the experience over the IDcore in my opinion!

[@carfanfan]

@@barrycraig So far I've had no glitches. It works perfectly every time. I've driven 3 times using it since fitted and it hasn't let me down. It's there the moment I start my car and it's a godsend over OEM satnav. Easy and intuitive with Waze, Google Maps or Sygic. They all work perfectly.

[@claremontinteriorsmw]

@@carfanfan Hilton As everyone says so far Another Stirling job on the install and very well detailed You may remember I was going to install this unit a bought a few months ago I won't bother uploading yet another install video I may as far as locating and fixing the unit where it's accessible without having to take everything apart if mods are added Barry Craig Have you or did you make any kind of installation instructions for that "AAWirelss I've just ordered one so I can install it when it arrives in a couple of months Cheers Malcolm

[@lm68lancashire60]

Very thorough tutorial. Well done. The lack of steering wheel controls is a big negative point as skipping music using the screen whilst driving can be distracting. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@carfanfan]

If you are playing music via your cars USB you can still use the steering controls.

[@JamesHarkess]

Many thanks for this great video! I bought one from Unique Auto in UK a couple of months ago and it's just now warm enough to install the unit in my 2013 XF. The only difficult part was routing the cables up into the center console. There's a pretty small hole underneath the side trim of the console and you can't see it well even with the trim loosened. It took me a full day to do the install, but I also fixed the passenger side vent which wasn't rotating. That alone took a couple of hours taking the dash trim apart to get at the motor for the vent. The current version of this device has wireless Android Auto/ Car Play out of the box. You still lose the steering wheel controls and the skip buttons on the console, so you have to use the touch screen for that. The OEM Navigation is disabled, but Google Maps and Waze are better anyway. The backup cam, climate controls and everything else works like usual. You don't have to put the microphone in the overhead console. I just routed it under the trim of the A pillar and stuck it on the flat area on the drivers side of the rearview mirror mount. You can hardly see it. Have the video in front of you while doing the install so you know where all of the screws are. If you're in the US with a left hand drive XF then flip your brain 180 degrees. Thanks for saving me a bunch of time Hilton.

[@carfanfan]

Glad my video helped James 😊

[@rens3835]

Thanks man you made my day! Did the install today after careful review of your video. No way I could succeed without your video supporting me in the process... You find additional elegant solutions (micro, usb cables) to dennis video which was also a great content. I recently bought my XF-250 S (not R - reason prevail as a daily), and I'm in love with my 1st jag. I chose this version in particular (model1, phase2) because its proximity with original concept C-XF and I'm very happy with it, except of course for the infotainment system. Being able to upgrade this car with an unfashionable and durable CarPlay (which then upgrade when your phone is) generated joy to me! My jag is young forever! Sad you sold yours, but life goes on... Hope you will be able to stay with JLR next time, at Land Rover they do provide a solid user-experience too! My defender is almost 30 years-old now and its still a pleasure to climb onboard and to get ready for adventure. Thank you for your legacy (I notices several videos of yours that will help for the future) and enjoy your rides! Cheers

[@nexus9438]

Hi Hilton, great video, was looking to do something similar to my XF-RS when I had it, but sold it before I got around to it. Your videos have given me confidence to pull internal dash components off without worrying too much, even though I now have different brand cars ignore those that say your videos are too long - speaking for myself I would rather sit through something with comprehensive instructions as opposed to something shorter with missing instructions. No need to lower yourself to the lowest common denominator, especially on a niche channel ... those complaining people can just bugger off - I mean with youtube they have the ability to scroll through to where ever you want in a video anyway, so what's the problem?

[@carfanfan]

Thanks mate 😊. Sorry to hear you sold your XFRS. I love my XFR, but will have to let it go one day too. The roads destroy wheels with low profile tyres here. Potholes and other hazards are a constant annoyance. So I might get an Evoque or similar Range Rover. Thanks for your comment on my video quality. It's hard to cater to everyone's tastes and generally people don't reserve the right to be rude when commenting on social media from the obscurity of their chairs 😊. So it's a difficult conundrum when trying to get as much info in as possible to help others. But you out it quite succinctly 👌👋

[@audreyallen7685]

Thanks so much, I am having the same problem. I will make sure my uncle fix it. Thanks again

[@ZKev1]

I have found that when re assembling trim a spot of silicone on the clips and a thin film of vaseline on adjoining leather makes for less rattles and squeaking after re assembly

[@sempereadem54eadem64]

Hilton strikes again.Excellent explanation.👍🏼

[@zurriat1]

You can try adding steering wheel control modules to get the OG steering wheel controls working again

[@Qwerty1235945]

Hi Hilton, I've just discovered your channel as I'm thinking about buying an XF. You have convinced me there is nothing scary or difficult about the XF. Quite the opposite it seems. Sorry to see you've sold the XF, but I guess times change. Thanks for all your superb work. I'm now working my way through every one of your videos and learning a lot. :-)

[@carfanfan]

Did you get an XF? Only saw your message now. Don't be daunted by them. They are easy to work on and mire so than Audi or Merc or even BMW.

[@Qwerty1235945]

@carfanfan yes, I've had my 2.2D Premium Luxury for a couple of years now. It's been 100% reliable, and I still love it to bits. The only thing I'd swap it for would be another XF with a supercharger!

[@Smileydrb]

Hilton! my man, great video. Your videos are not to long. With what you put in the videos, the timing is just right and you put in the information to do it right!! Don't worry about those people complaining!! Some people just aren't appreciative about the quality of your videos!!! Much love to you and yours. Stay awesome , always!!!!

[@carfanfan]

LoL, I bit the bullet a couple of months ago already but didn't get round to fitting it 🤣

[@tt4078]

Another fantastic vid, Hilton - Thank you buddy!

[@ricklugg4046]

I have bought and had installed (I did not feel I wanted to do it) and all is well except ... they added a rear camera supplied also by Unique. Imitially here was odd behaviour with the added, rear camera, but once Unique supplied us with the install instructions for that, the installers added the suggested relay and all is now well. We do sometimes get the rear sensor alert screen that has to be turned off but it is not always needed. I suspect it is when selecting reverse and the sensors detect something, the screen stays in view until manually selecting the "Display Off" screen option. All in all I can heartily recomment this unit. Do realise that when running Google Maps (or Waze or whatever) the guidance instructions come from the Android box and so it needs to be the selected audio souce (Auxiliary) and not the car stereo. So I have downloaded Spotify playlists that are comparable to my CDs which had been ripped into the car and keep Spotify in Offline mode so it does not stream live. If you have unlimited data it will not be an issue.

[@mygodisable2]

Hey Hilton ( MacGyver), when it comes to modifying or changing these type of cars What can't you do? To do these types of changes it's going to cost you and arm and a leg. It's a specialty job, and the average person is not going to be able to do it. Great job if you can. Thanks Hilton, Superior job.

I don't know where you live, but in the UK you can buy this for just over £200. £200 to upgrade the original head unit to support Android Auto and Apple Car Play? Seems like a good deal to me. Brings the over 10 year old XF into the 2020s!

[@dazeaston]

Thank you so much for this video, thanks to you I have successfully installed the Joyeauto CarPlay module in my 2013 XFS Portfolio with the Meridian Sound system. Even the SatNav works which I was sceptical given the heated windscreen which blocks my iPhones built in GPS. Perhaps the module uses the cars built in GPS arial?

[@carfanfan]

Thanks mate. You are a gem 🤗

[@CUTproductionsLtd]

Great video JagFan and you've answered a question I put to the makers, but the inability to use steering wheel controls is a deal breaker for me for both the upgrade and this car I was thinking of getting. I have wireless AA currently on a 15 year old Audi A4 B7, via an Android HU, with full steering wheel control via canbus, including mic input and having to touch the screen would be a massive step back - I find it very distracting on the rare occasions I do and for me defeats the object of Carplay/AA. Have you found any solution for this? Thanks for your detailed video.

[@친절한아저씨]

Hello, I have the same car. I ordered an all-in-one from Ali Express, but I ordered it without talking about the model of the car, so the jack-by-jack is not working.

[@carfanfan]

I'm not sure what you mean jack by jack not working.

[@PhillHorrocks]

Loved this video - late to the Car Play party but looking at your comprehensive instructions, certainly seems doable! One question; do you lose any existing functional from the Jag Infotainment system?

[@carfanfan]

The only functionality you lose is the factory satnav which is already outdated so no loss there. Everything else still works on the OEM system. When you press the GPS button, you go into Android Auto.

[@PhillHorrocks]

@@carfanfan Worth the investment?

[@carfanfan]

@PhillHorrocks Certainly was. It brings the XF into the modern Era. Why throw away your car because technology has moved on? Just update it Modern cars are rubbish. Not built like the X250 was. They are solid cars.

How does this mod affect other functions on the factory head unit if at all (i.e. vehicle, climate nav, etc) great video. Is there a version for the XKR? Thanks.

The only OEM affected on the head unit is the satnav because you're unplugging it. Everything else works. There is a version for the XKR. But it has tonhave the facelifted head unit with the same interface as mine.

Here's a link to where I bought mine. Keep in mind, for XF, its only for facelifted models from 2011 to 2015. It will fit XJ models from 2010 to 2015. unique-ad.co.uk/product/wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-interface-for-jaguar-xf-2011-2015/

[@KlasykaGatunku-p5t]

Hi, I've got one and already installed it. But I can't find any proper place to securely mount it. How and where did you put it - passenger footwell or behind the dash ?

[@carfanfan]

@user-yr5ho8dm9o I first had it above the glove box but later wedges it way behind the center console. You can get in there if you lean under the passenger footwell. It can't rattle thanks to the sound deadening down there and I cable tied the cables so that it couldn't move.

​@@carfanfanthank you so much for these answer. Maybe you have some picture or video that's showing that that place?

[@carfanfan]

@user-yr5ho8dm9o unfortunately I don't have the car anymore. But give it a try, you could also wedge it in-between the sound deadening. You don't want it to be able to move as that will cause vibration on the unit and it won't last long.

[@paulmorley9828]

Do you leave all the other oem wires out the back of the head unit and just have the new unit plugged in alone ?

[@carfanfan]

No, there is only one cable you leave unplugged as I stated in my video and that's the satnav cable that leads to the screen. This plug is replaced by the plug that comes from the Navi unit you installing in order to provide video feed when pressing the SatNav button.

[@study1439]

Could you share the link to video where you remove the upholstery covering the air bag

[@carfanfan]

You can remove the airbag, but not the plastic covering it. The airbag is part of the unit. You would need to get a 2nd airbag from a salvage yard and replace the entire thing. It unscrews from behind the steering wheel.

Hey. As far as I know the only module affecting the sound system under the seat is the Bluetooth module. The rest is in the trunk. This module would bypass the car's Bluetooth because it has its own. Likewise if you install a full Android screen you wouldn't need anything other than the amplifier to push sound out the speakers. They all have their own GPS and Bluetooth

[@maddogcustoms9207]

question: when you fit that android system does the orginal car audio and all the other stuff on the touch screen still work? is it simply an app thats added by the process?

[@carfanfan]

Everything on the OEM system works normally after installation except the GPS. Because the GPS plug is replaced with the Android plug behind the unit. And the GPS plug remains unplugged inside the dash. You can still play music using your USB or you can use the USB supplied with the Android unit to play music through. It's a nice mod that brings the car into the modern age.

[@SR1Records]

Sorry, commenting on an old video, but do you need the USB cable? If so, what is it for? If your phone supports wireless Android auto, what is the purpose of the USB cable? Also, say i don't wire up the USB cable, will the original usb port inside the armrest still charge my phone? I'm just not understanding what the point of the aftermarket USB cable is for...

[@carfanfan]

The USB is merely if you want to use Android or Carplay while charging your phone.

Will this fix the flickering/reboot problem that the original units have? Caused by the Bluetooth module or navigation module

How is it working so far?

[@carfanfan]

It's working great. I'm using Sygic maps as I have a lifetime license with them, but Waze and Google work great too. The music app AIMP is amazing. I don't use the other apps though, so I should look at them to see if they work. But when I start the car, plug in my phone and the screen comes up, press the NAV button, my map is displaying already.

Hi where can you come install me too?

[@carfanfan]

Where you at?

[@KAVALETTI]

Will this work in a 2009 XF?

[@carfanfan]

Nope. I believe there are other units one can buy now for the pre face-lift.

[@sirrkerbin2525]

I was wondering why you chose this unit over the Tesla-style unit that @DenTech installed. Reading that this Tesla mob are yet to make a RHD model is not only bewildering but a silly marketing ploy imho. It's a pommy car ffs, so make it work, and sell it to the Poms. You do not need to be Boris to know that there are a shitload of XF's in the UK. Unrelated, your videos are far from being too long, so I would ignore the 1 or 2 "critics" and continue with your original recipe. Cheers from AU.

[@carfanfan]

Thanks Sirr. Yeah, I told Canavie the same thing. I told them I'm itching to install one 8n my car but can't wait anymore so it fitted this in the meantime. When I get the Tesla unit I'll offer it to one of my SA subscribers with installation as a gift. Probably have a competition or something. But at least I have Google Maps 8n my XFR for now 😉🤗

[@Moodo76]

I'm about to buy a 2011 XF and was thinking about switching from the original stereo to something like this but after seeing this I'll pass. There's no way I trust my skills enough to dismantle a jaguar.

[@carfanfan]

It's the same as dismantling a golf 😁.

[@mikegoodin2433]

Yet again you had my hopes high but ruined as usual do you know of anywhere or anything just something to update my 2010 xf infotainment system love the car to much to change it but the windows 95 looking system is so dated now

[@carfanfan]

A few months ago I found and Android unit that works on the older cars. I'll do some scratching and send you a link on this message. 😉. I've seen videos where guys in Russia have already installed them on the 1st gen XF.

@@carfanfan awesome thankyou

[@carforumwanker]

dont lay trip on dash seats etc ........ remove it ALL from the car and lay it all out neatly .

[@carfanfan]

@@carforumwanker where have you been all my life. Long time no hear 😊

[@Davidoff8503]

Easier to replace the car for newer with car play.

[@carfanfan]

You can't buy a new Jaguar XF with a V8 engine anymore. So it's better to modernize a classic.

[@garethbattersby]

This seems like an absolute ball ache.

[@carfanfan]

It is but we'll worth the effort🤣
