Has anyone found a way to enable the built in phone system to work with a bluetooth mobile? I have a 2001 xkr.

If you have the system which uses a Motorola Startac then you can't do much with it Jag and motorola couldn't be bother to make the system upgradeable. I had a startac system in my S type and had the same problem. I have now purchased a Nokia CK7-W car kit, this does bluetooth as well as a range of pop-port cradles. I have fitted mine under the centre console, the aerial lead will conect up to the factory fit jag system with an adaptor, the original flip up cradle can be unscrewed and a nokia cradle will fit to the flip-up bracket if re-drilled, the nokia control button just needs mounting. I used an autoleads telemute lead to wire it in, that way it uses the jag speakers and is quick to fit as it just plugs in between the radio wiring loom. Mine works fine, the only thing you can't use is the steering wheel voice dial button. If you are considering it and need a suplier for the bits let me know and I will give you the details of the guy I use he is quite cheap and does mail order.
