Bluetooth
2006 model year (MY) sees the introduction of a Bluetooth(R) communications network system.

NOTE: In common with previous cellular phones it is the drivers responsibility to comply with local legislation regarding cellular phone use.

Bluetooth is a way of communicating with various electronic devices that are equipped with specialized chips using a short-range radio link. It allows most devices to communicate with one another by creating a universal language. The devices then form a private network known as a 'personal area network'.

Interaction between Bluetooth devices can take place without direct human intervention whenever two or more Bluetooth devices are within each other's range. This enables the Bluetooth transceiver chip to trigger an automatic connection to deliver and accept a flow of data.

Bluetooth devices operate on a radio frequency band knows as the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical frequency. The Industrial, Scientific, and Medical radio frequency band is 2.40 GigaHertz (GHz) to 2.48 GHz which is divided into 79 channels, each carrying a bandwidth of 1 MegaHertz (MHz).

The devices use the 79 individual randomly chosen channels within the frequency band, changing from one to another on a regular basis. The Bluetooth transmitters change frequencies approximately 1,600 times every second, meaning that more devices can utilize the limited slice of the radio frequency.

Since every Bluetooth transmitter uses this technique automatically, it's most unlikely that two transmitters will be on the same frequency at the same time. This technique minimizes the risk of disruption to Bluetooth devices, as any interference on a particular frequency will last only a fraction of a second.

The Bluetooth system consists of:
- A Bluetooth upgrade module
- A Portable Support Electronics (PSE) module
- A voice activated control module
- A microphone
- Steering wheel telematics control switches
- An audio unit

The Bluetooth upgrade module allows the driver to integrate their personal cellular phone to the vehicle. When a cellular phone is paired to the vehicle, it allows the storage of up to 500 individual phone numbers and 40 related voice tags to the voice activated control module. These stored phone numbers can then be accessed using the audio unit control buttons, the audio unit touch screen (if equipped) or steering wheel telematics control switches. The voice tags can be accessed by using the steering wheel telematics control switches when utilizing the voice activation facility.

If a cellular phone has been matched/programmed to the vehicle and a second cellular phone is added, the stored phone numbers and voice tags from the second cellular phone will overwrite the original phones' stored data.

Phone numbers stored to the PSE and voice tags stored to the voice activated control module need to be manually updated should alterations be required. If a new phone number has been added to the cellular phone memory, it will need to be added manually to the vehicle memory.

Once stored to the vehicle, the phone numbers can be viewed on the audio unit screen. The audio unit and touch-screen operate as previous models.

For vehicles fitted with a touch-screen controlled audio unit it is possible to redial the last 10 dialed phone numbers from the vehicle. For vehicles without a touch-screen controlled audio unit it is only possible to redial the last dialed phone number from the vehicle. These dialed phone numbers are stored in the PSE module memory and not from the cellular phone's memory.

The Bluetooth system does not include a phone cradle or it's own individual vehicle antenna. As a consequence of this, there is no cellular phone signal amplification and no in-car charging facilities.

In-car charging can be achieved using a suitable lead to the cigar lighter or auxiliary power socket.

Portable Support Electronics (PSE) Module
The Portable Support Electronics (PSE) module is located in the left-hand side of the luggage compartment.

Portable Support Electronics (PSE) Module:

The PSE module is fixed to a bracket which also supports the Voice Activation Control Module (VACM) and the navigation control module.

The PSE module has one electrical connector and one optical connector. The module is unique to Jaguar, but utilizes carry over hardware.

The PSE module stores up to 500 phone numbers and the last 10 dialed phone numbers from the vehicle.

Bluetooth Upgrade Module
The Bluetooth upgrade module is located under the center console and is attached to the center console using velcro.

Bluetooth Upgrade Module:

The Bluetooth upgrade module communicates with the drivers cellular phone and integrates it into the vehicle system transferring information such as call status and phonebook information to the PSE.

Voice Activated Control Module
The voice activated control module is located in the left-hand side of the luggage compartment.

Voice Activated Control Module:

The voice activated control module is fixed to a bracket which also supports the PSE and the navigation control module.

The voice activated control module stores up to 40 voice tags.

Microphone

Microphone:

The microphone is located above the driver and is attached to the headliner.

Steering Wheel Telematics Control Switches
To ensure minimum disruption to concentration when driving, limited control of audio, telephone and voice activation systems is possible using the steering wheel telematics control switches.

The control switches provide the following phone functionality:
- Answer phone call/end handsfree calls.
- Increase or decrease volume.
- Cycle through phone memory.
