I have a 2004 XKR with the telephone fitted. The one with the hard wired handset.
I notice on Ebay there are a number of Bluetooth upgrade parts available for my car. No sure if this is a realistic upgrade or not. Depends on the telephone module as well?

Re: Bluetooth module for xkr 2004 with telephone.
It's doable but do you really want to?
I have OEM Bluetooth fitted as part of Jaguar's offerings on the run-out 4.2s models. It's OK but like the satnav, a bit dated today. It will accept only one phone for pairing and my relatively modern Samsung Galaxy works with it reliably. Accepting calls is easy and all controlled on the steering wheel buttons, but trying to find a number to dial out by cycling through all contacts one by one requires a dangerous level of attention away from the road ahead.
That's all it does; no modern features! No streaming, no internet etc.
You may well be better off with a good after-market kit.

Re: Bluetooth module for xkr 2004 with telephone.
Yep, fair enough. I do have a basic bluetooth device which works ok, (but obviously not via the steering wheel etc), just wondered how hard it was. Actually I always drive with the top down, so cant hear much anyway!
I did change the sat nav system which i wasn't very impressed with. i got the kit to replace it with the 3 dials in the centre piece and binned the sat nav. I think the 3 dials look better and suit the car more.
