Audio Connectivity Module (ACM) Installation - Part No. C2S 44674
NB These notes are intended as a DIY guide to installing a Jaguar ACM unit to the OEM
in-car system. It is offered as a record of my experience and as such I cannot accept
responsibility for anything YOU do as a result of reading it!!
ACM
Installation
Unfortunately the X-Type Jaguar entertainment system did not originally come with a facility to connect
external devices such as iPods etc. To do so requires the fitting of a Jaguar Audio Connectivity Module
(ACM), which adds a pair of RCA jack inputs, a USB interface and an iPod cable to Jaguar’s OEM head
unit. According to Jaguar:
“Enhance your driving experience by enjoying playback of any digital audio device (MP3
player, CD player, iPod, USB memory stick, etc.) through your [stock] entertainment system.
With Jaguar's Audio Connectivity Module, USB memory sticks and iPods can be operated from
the center console or steering wheel-mounted controls. Conveniently located in your vehicle's
center armrest, the system houses all necessary audio wires/cables while ensuring clear sound
quality.
S-Type -- Fits 2003 model year and beyond.
X-Type -- Fits 2002 model year and newer X-TYPEs.
XJ -- Fits 2004 model year onward.”
Tools:
Small flat blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, Star (Torque) bolt adapters, electric drill, 16mm drill bit,
and insulating tape.
The unit comes with everything necessary to connect to the original equipment, Including the Jaguar
handbook and installation instructions which are almost entirely pictorial and fairly easy to follow – I got this
lot:
TIP: For ease of reference I stuck a small label on each part corresponding to the Jaguar pic above, which
made it much easier to locate the bits as the installation progressed
TIP: Make a note of your radio security code before you start
