Requirements: Functional 6 cd auto changer

Introduction

Safety comes first when you’re on the road, so having an intuitive and easy to use Bluetooth kit is essential to reducing driver distraction. The JAG-HF kit is compatible with virtually all Bluetooth phones, and sounds great form mobile conversations or streaming music. In addition to Bluetooth, the JAG-HF provides a 3.5mm AUX input which can be used to connect wired devices such as MP3 Players, iPods, Zune, iPads etc. (AUX input takes the place of CD changer playback). The built-in USB charging port can be used to charge devices (1.8A), however for larger current hungry devices (e.g., iPhone 8 and newer), we recommend adding optional USB-DMA3 “Fast charge” kit. The audio adapter connects to CD changer plug in trunk or hatch and Bluetooth module installs beneath center console glove box (armrest).

Warning: The required CD changer remains connected but will no longer play.

To retain CD changer playback, purchase our JAGCD-HF instead.
See Frequently Asked questions at the end of this guide

Installing audio module

Audio module connects to the CD auto changer connector in trunk/hatch

1. Remove carpet trim piece surrounding audio rack

2. Remove (4) 8mm nuts securing rack to vehicle.

3. Locate cable holder behind audio rack for CD changer single thick black cable (connects CD changer to amplifier in premium systems and to radio in standard systems) (See Fig. 1)
   
   Noteworthy: There are similar size/color cables in this area. CD changer single thick black cable is the correct one.

4. Remove black cable from holding tab and disconnect by grasping both plugs and gently pulling apart (do not twist)

5. note Fig. 2- CD changer female connector (right), amplifier/radio plug (left).

6. Connect factory male plug (See Fig. 2) to module: simply align marks on factory male plug with that on module female connector

7. Connect module male right-angle plug (See Fig. 3) to CD changer female connector (See Fig. 2)
   
   Warning: module male right-angle plug does not have marking. To connect; align mark drawn in Fig. 3 with mark on CD changer connector (See Fig. 2), Ignoring this warning will cause damage to both plug and connector.
   

8. Connect one end of included 16 ft. 3.5mm male-male audio cable to module AUX jack (See Fig. 4), and route to center console.
   
   

Routing audio cable

1. Use a pry tool to open gap between window pillar and rear deck as seen in Fig. 5. Go into trunk and fish the audio cable through and into cabin. (See Fig. 6)
   
   

2. Pull excess cable and begin tucking under backrest and seat cushion as you work towards center glove box (armrest) as seen in Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9
   

3. Continue to use pry tool or fingers to fish cable under center glove box into storage bin.

4. To remove storage bin : Open the center glove box and remove 2 Philips head screws from latch cover and two more from hinge then remove the single screw on retainer bracket.

5. Lift to remove storage bin and set aside.

6. Locate audio plug fed through in step 3 and gently pull excess cable.

Bluetooth module installation

In our test vehicle (2001 XJR Premium Audio), the Bluetooth module was secured to center armrest sidewall (See Fig. 10)and is our recommendation. In this area you will also find the factory phone plug and cigar lighter wiring, either of which can be used to power the Bluetooth module (see Fig. 11).

Warning: Cigar lighter wiring is prone to noise especially if a USB charger is installed. Locate a noise free power source or purchase a noise filter. In most instances, this noise is not related to a bad module.

Bluetooth module Red wire requires 12V accessory. (Do not connect to constant battery supply)and Black wire must be grounded.

1. If vehicle does not have a phone plug, simply tap into cigar lighter supply wires under console: White/Blue= 12V ACC, Black=Ground.

2. Connect 3.5mm audio plug (routed from trunk) to module pigtail jack (See Fig. 13)
   

3. Connect supplied (3ft.) audio cable (See Fig. 14) to module “AUX” input jack, (See Fig. 15). Route other end to dash area or location where audio device will reside (within 3ft).
   

4. Connect push-button/mic (See Fig. 16) to module “MIC” input (See Fig. 15)
   

5. Consider where to install push-button/microphone. Keep in mind the push-button must be within drivers reach and facing forward for voice commands and phone dialog (cable is 6ft. long). We recommend completing the rest of the install prior to securing the control/mic button to the dash. Once you decide on a location simply remove tape backing (See Fig. 17) and stick to dash (See Fig. 18)
   
   
   Make sure no ventilation duct is pointed towards the mic. It is best to mount button facing driver

USB charging port

Module USB port is for charging only. Please note this may not provide sufficient current to charge newer power-hungry devices (e.g., iPhones). If you own one of these newer devices, consider purchasing our USB-DM3 Smart charging Kit.
You may install the provided USB kit in 1 of 3 ways:
These are also applicable to optional USB Fast Charge Kit.

A. Flush to dash/panel requires drilling a ¾” hole
B. Flush Mount with Support bracket (use this option to mount USB terminal wherever your installation demands without drilling)
C. Not Mounted- (default)– Connect your own USB Cable

A. Flush Mount to Dash or Panel (requires drilling)

1. Drill a ¾” hole in the dash or panel using a hole saw, step drill bit or equivalent (See Fig. 19)

2. Insert 3.2ft. (1 Meter) USB male terminal (See Fig. 20) through ¾” hole created in step 1 and connect to module USB port (See Fig. 21)
   
   

3. Snap USB head to mounting surface until flush (See Fig. 23)
   

4. Tuck and secure any extra wire from moving parts

B. Flush mount with Support Bracket (No drilling)

1. Locate a flat surface at location of choice within 3.2 ft. (1 meter) of module and mount USB support bracket (See Fig. 24) to surface using adhesive/tape or screws.
   

2. Insert USB male terminal through hole in bracket (See Fig. 25) and connect to USB port on Module (See Fig. 21)

3. Snap USB head to mounting plate until flush (See Fig. 26)
