I'm not positive about a 1998 XJ but, in all of the 95 and older XJs as you sit in the front passenger seat take your left hand and feel up under the dash right in front of your left leg, just to the right of the center console. It is a silver colored thing that is about the size of a CD disc drive with 1 long narrow electrical connector going to it.

I just checked my wifes 01 and it is not in the same spot. I'll do some research and find it.

What little info I found doing a quick google search says it is located under the center console for 97-01 XJs.

Let us know where you find it so we will know for future reference. I know the older XJs had it up by the glove box as described earlier but am at a loss for the later XJs.
