So if your stereo mutes the sound for a split second on startup like mine does, you might already have the CDC function activated. I should mention that my stereo always mutes itself for a split second after I first start the car, and I believe this is consistent with comments that I've read about the Alpine head unit polling the D2B optical data bus for expected accessory modules whenever it first powers on. Mine was already activated, so the ACM worked as soon as I finished the installation. Apparently, some cars come with this function already activated, even though the car might not actually have a CD changer installed in the trunk. If you have access to a right angle power-screwdriver you could probably save yourself some "driller's cramp" and get the whole job done pretty fast.Īnother issue that some do-it-yourself installers might run into is the need to activate the compact disc changer (CDC) function of your stereo. Now that I think about it, that kicked the project well past one hour. I ended up taking a fresh drill bit in my hand and manually turning it through the plastic console bin. This requires drilling some small holes into a space that can't really accommodate a power drill. The worst part of the job was securing the ACM input/switch assembly and USB interface to the inside of the console.

The installation instructions are basically just a series of pictures with minimal text.
The Accessory Fitting Instructions for "In-Car Entertainment (ICE)/Technology" are available, along with plenty of other useful information.īTW, installation was remarkably straightforward. Select your language, country, vehicle model and year, then click on Owner in the top right. You can download the installation instructions for any of these models from the Jaguar TOPIx web site. Fortunately, the XJ instructions are online. Installation instructions were provided for both the X-Type and S-Type, but the 2004-2009 XJ was curiously not covered in the printed instructions. The ACM user's guide and startup guide include some line art which may help you get a better idea of what this thing looks like. The ACM kit does not include any kind of mounting bracket for the iPod cable like it does for the USB cable, so it would have been just sitting in the bottom of my console, taking up space.
Not pictured is the included iPod cable, which I have no use for, so I didn't connect it. Here's a look at the finished installation: You'll save some confusion if you order by part number, and don't count on the parts clerk to be able to find the part by searching on a description. Regardless of who you order from, the current part number is C2C40513. If you're not a member, this is one more good reason to become one. That price included shipping and probably includes the discount offered to Jaguar Forum Members. The best, recent price that was relayed to me was $361.25 from Nalley Jaguar in in Roswell, GA.
But I've heard countless stories of customers being told that the part is no longer available, which clearly isn't true because people are still purchasing them and installing them. You *should* be able to order the ACM from any Jaguar dealer or parts supplier. Needless to say, there's no picture of the thing anywhere in Jaguar's literature, but I just decided to go for it anyway. X-Type - Fits 2002 model year and newer X-TYPEs. S-Type - Fits 2003 model year and beyond. Conveniently located in your vehicle's center armrest, the system houses all necessary audio wires/cables while ensuring clear sound quality. With Jaguar's Audio Connectivity Module, USB memory sticks and iPods can be operated from the center console or steering wheel-mounted controls. As per Jaguar's own accessory catalog:Įnhance your driving experience by enjoying playback of any digital audio device (MP3 player, CD player, iPod, USB memory stick, etc.) through your entertainment system. I did a little research and found out about the Jaguar Audio Connectivity Module (ACM), which adds a pair of RCA jack inputs, a USB interface and an iPod cable to Jaguar's Alpine-sourced head unit. But it has no means to connect an external audio source. It's not the best I've ever heard, but it's not far off. My Sports-package-equipped car came with a 10-speaker, 320-watt Alpine stereo. Right after buying a 2004 Jaguar X-Type, I had to muck with the stereo.
