I am a proud new owner of a 98' XJ. I am not sure if this is stock or something the previous owner installed but their is an Aux cord coming out from under the drivers side of the center console. I plugged my Iphone in but couldn't figure out how to get the music to come out of the stereo. It does have the stock radio and as far as I know everything else concerning the radio works. Any Idea's?
P.S. If this is in the wrong section I'm sorry, I was kinda confused on where this belongs.
EDIT: Picture attached.

Factory radio does not have an aux input. My guess would be that the PO had an aftermarket head unit that had a rear aux input and used that to run his iPod to it. Pretty easy set up.

That could be hooked up through an FM modulator at the back of the radio, you may have to tune in a certain FM channel in order to hear the signal from the ipod. Start at the lowest station number with the iphone playing and keep moving up the dial until you hear the iphone signal coming through.

iPods have a 3.5 jack?
Anyway, the dash is bezel really easy to remove, just 4 screws and a slight tug at the corners and middle. Pull it, and look where the cable goes.
