Install aftermarket amplifier, speakers of choice in select 2000-06 X100 and 2000-03 X308 Jaguar Premium ICE systems.
Those wanting to elevate Jaguar/Alpine Premium ICE system to a new level or clarify and fullness will be pleased to find this harness. The ARH-JAG bypasses the OE amplifier (LNF4170AA, 4W8318C808AA) allowing vehicle owner the flexibility to install new speakers or retain old speakers, tweeters or combination thereof and power them with aftermarket amplifier of choice, all this while also retaining the rest of the Premium I.C.E. system including radio, auto CD changer, navigation etc. This welcome addition does not require cutting or modifying vehicle's harness should it become necessary to re-connect original amplifier if and when vehicle is offered up for sale/trade. Signal sensing technology ensures aftermarket amplifier turns on/off when radio is turned on/off and unlike most universal line converters; the ARH-JAG includes matching 18-pin plug-n-play connectors (male/female) so to not compromise vehicles wiring integrity. Installs at the luggage compartment and does not require radio removal. Exclusive to 2000-06 XK (X100) and 2000-03 XJ (X308) with Alpine I.C.E Premium audio systems. Not applicable to 1998-06 Harman Kardon (LNC4170AA, LJB4170BA, LJA4170BA etc.) amplifier systems, nor X150/X350
