Hi Bricky - don't get your hopes up for an answer from me, I've just come in from the cold after spending n hour trying to sort out the same situation with my 2012 XF.
Worked a dream until today. Done everything you have, with an iPhone 7 Plus - deleted, restarted, renamed, cleared, swept, fiddled and f****d about with nothing in reward.
Any of you wise peeps out there got any ideas? Is there a way to reset things in the car at all, eg reset to factory settings etc?
Cheers
Chris

 

Sorted it! Unplugged my iPod from the USB connection and started from scratch with BT pairing - worked a treat. So the iPod overrules everything. Unplug anything from USB, retry, play music, get on with the rest of your day... Cheers!

 

Thanks Chris still don't have mine working even called Jaguar no help told me to take it to the dealer. not paying big bucks to get my radio fixed.

 

Sorry to hear that. I'm convinced it started when your wife plugged in her iPhone into the USB. I had plugged my iPod into the USB socket and all was well until I reverted to BT and iPhone. After messing around with every combination of attempts, I unplugged the iPod, and deleted (again) all phones and devices from BT Audio. I also reset network settings on the iPhone just in case. Then I restarted car and iPhone and went through the BT setup doing Car To Device method. All went well after that. YMMV but it seems to be an issue with the car that can't revert to BT once another Apple device has been connected via USB. Good luck. ;-)

 

I am convinced that Bluetooth drivers in a car need updates, but this is something that is not on the radar..............

were you able to figure this out...i have deleted all bluetooth connections, unplugged the USB cable and then readded my android. Still no luck. I can play music, but the control on the left hand side will not change songs. Phone does not work thru the bluetooth even though it says connected. It will not allow me to disconnect the phone either

 

I had an issue with my Motorola Moto G3 and my XF MY2011 (pre face lift) that I fixed by turning off 'scan for devices'. This thread on the Motorola site may be helpful to someone. I was getting disconnects and trouble reconnecting until I did this. I can't stream music due to the flavour of BT used on the Jag, but the phone connection works fine now.

I have not figured it out very frustrated.

 

Do you think the car or Pandora could be holding on to the connection to the iPhone? Have you tried reconnecting the iPhone and then disconnecting through the phone controls? I wonder if it is acting a bit like a USB memory stick that won't eject from a computer? Or could it be an issue with Pandora if the BT connection is working for music or speech? Does Pandora only allow one connection at a time?

 

I have tried absloutly everything

 

Have you tried a battery disconnect on the car?

 

Did the battery disconnect again and reset everything and it worked thank you.
