Frequently ask questions & troubleshooting
– YES; pairing multiple devices is possible, however only one device can
connect at a time. Disconnect the first device to allow pairing to another device.
– In order to listen to CDs, disable Bluetooth on the audio devices.
– Without starting a debate, the answer to this question will be limited to your own experience. APTX is very good, we like the sound through our loaner vehicle speakers. The sound is just different not necessarily better or worse if you have good speakers.
– NO; the A2D-AMV1 module connects to the CD changer plug in the trunk.
– The A2D-AMV1 is specific to the following Jaguar vehicles:
2001-07 Aston Martin Vanquish with CD changer in the trunk.

next to DISCARST, then tap Name
– Enter a new name (e.g. Jaguar-BT etc.) tap Done on the keyboard, then tap

– If playback is distorted it’s likely because the audio device volume setting is too
high. To fix, turn the radio volume up to a comfortable level, then the lower volume on the device until it no longer distorts.
