WITSON THG6957 9.7 Inch Android 15 Car Stereo for Jaguar X-TYPE 2004-2009

WITSON THG6957 is a 9.7 inch OEM style Android head unit built for the Jaguar X-TYPE, model years 2004-2009. The panel is moulded from the factory bezel and reuses the original mounting points, so the dashboard keeps its factory shape – no cutting and no adapter frame. Android 15, wireless CarPlay, 4G, DSP and the vehicle specific CANBUS decoder are all on board, and the original radio can be put back if the car is sold.

The THG6957 as shipped: 9.7 inch panel, OEM style housing moulded from the Jaguar X-TYPE bezel, connector side matched to the factory harness.

1. Vehicle Fitment - Jaguar X-TYPE, 2004-2009

The factory interface is replaced by Android on this unit, so the version is chosen by the original head unit in the car and by the model year. Screen, harness and functions are the same across the versions; the mounting frame and the CANBUS setting are not. Send a photo of the centre console and the VIN if you are not sure, and we confirm the version before shipping.

Prices above are the factory list price per piece for that version. Tell us the car and we quote the version that fits it, with the shipping cost to your door.

2. Android 15 on the Original Dashboard

The unit takes the place of the factory radio and brings a 9.7 inch touch screen, Android 15, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, 4G and a DSP into the original dashboard. The factory buttons, the steering wheel controls and the vehicle settings are mapped through the CANBUS decoder, so the car behaves normally while the screen and the software are new.

Android 15 launcher on the THG6957: navigation, music, radio and the 4G connection on one screen.

4. Official Product Photos - the Same Files Published on witson.com

The photos below are the original product photography of this unit, taken from our main site, not a render and not a stock picture. Front panel, the screen after the swap, the system pages and the connector side are all shown, so the unit on this page and the unit on the manufacturer site can be compared one to one.

5. Main Functions in Pictures

The posters below are produced for this model by our own design team and are the same artwork used on our China shop listing and in the distributor catalogue. Each one covers a single selling point, so a buyer can check the panel shape, the covered car list and the installation result before ordering.

Catalogue poster: 9.7 inch upgrade for the Jaguar X-TYPE, with the covered model years and the main selling points of this unit.

Before and after in the same car: factory display on top, 9.7 inch unit below. The vents, the climate panel and the trim stay where they were.

6. Installation - Plug and Play, No Cutting

The harness is plug and play: the factory connector of the Jaguar X-TYPE plugs into the decoder box, the decoder box plugs into the unit, and the original clips hold the frame. A competent installer finishes the swap in about 60 to 90 minutes, no wire is cut, and the original radio can go back in if the car is sold.

Installed in the factory dashboard: the 9.7 inch screen sits in the original opening, the trim and the vents are untouched.

We send the wiring sheet for your version with every unit, and we answer installation questions by photo or video call if the installer gets stuck.

8. Packing, Price and Shipping

Transit time is counted separately from the lead time and depends on the destination country and the shipping method. For sample orders we normally ship by express; for volume orders we can ship by sea with the carton marks you require.

9. Certifications and Quality Control

The WITSON THG6957 is CE, FCC and RoHS compliant, and every unit is powered on, paired with a phone and audio tested before packing. The firmware is written for the Jaguar X-TYPE platform, so the CANBUS messages, the climate display and the parking radar behave the same way as on the original radio. Firmware updates and UI language packs are available from WITSON after sales.

Nothing in this section is a stock photo. The four frames below are taken from a walk through our line in Shenzhen this year, where this range is built. The full procedure is published on our main site: WITSON quality control.

10. About WITSON - the Factory Behind This Unit

WITSON (Zhuhai Witson Industrial Co., Ltd) has been building car multimedia since 2003, with the Shenzhen factory set up in 2004. The plant covers about 3,500 square metres with 95-125 production staff, 6-8 QC engineers and 4-5 R&D engineers, and 5-8 new models are released every month. All products are designed in house and produced with our own tooling and moulds – the Jaguar X-TYPE frame of this unit is our own mould, which is why the fitment is stable from batch to batch.

We are the manufacturer, not a trading company: the model numbers are unique to our factory, the firmware is written by our own team, and the person who answers your fitment question is the person who can change the CANBUS setting. The full specification and the installation manual of the THG6957 are published on our main website: WITSON 9.7 inch product page, and the plant itself is introduced here: WITSON factory.

11. Frequently Asked Questions - THG6957 for Jaguar X-TYPE 2004-2009

Does the WITSON THG6957 fit my Jaguar X-TYPE?

The THG6957 covers the Jaguar X-TYPE from 2004-2009. The versions listed in the fitment table differ in the mounting frame and the CANBUS setting, not in the screen or the functions. Send a photo of your centre console and the VIN and we confirm the version before shipping.

Do I lose the original Jaguar menu?

The factory interface is replaced by Android, which is the point of this version: you get a 9.7 inch touch screen, CarPlay, Android Auto and 4G on a dashboard that never had them. The climate information, the steering wheel buttons and the parking radar keep working through the CANBUS decoder.

Will the steering wheel buttons, the climate display and the parking radar still work?

Yes. A CANBUS decoder matched to the Jaguar X-TYPE is in the box, so the steering wheel buttons, the trip information, the climate status and the factory parking radar keep working after the radio is replaced.

Is CarPlay wireless on the THG6957, and does it keep the factory microphone?

Yes. Apple CarPlay connects wirelessly and Android Auto runs wired or wirelessly. The factory microphone position is used for hands free calls, and an external microphone is in the box for cars where the original microphone is not compatible.

What are the screen and hardware specifications?

9.7 inch capacitive touch screen, Android 15 on a UIS7862 octa core processor (2 x Cortex A75 + 6 x Cortex A55), 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, built-in 4G LTE, dual band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, DSP with time alignment and 4 x 45W output.

Does the THG6957 support a reverse camera, a 360 panorama and a DVR?

Yes. The unit has a reverse camera input and keeps the factory camera where the car has one. For a 360 panorama the board needs the 1080P 360 chip, which is US$10 extra on this platform. DVR is supported as an option - tell us which camera kit you use and we ship the matching harness.

What is the price, and how fast can you ship one piece?

US$495 / piece, MOQ 1 piece. In-stock units leave within 24 hours after payment and standard production takes 3-7 working days. Express delivery is 4-7 days door to door, air freight 8-12 days and sea freight 30-40 days. FOB Shenzhen or door to door with tax paid can both be quoted.

Can you print my logo and put my model number on the box?

Yes. Logo, model number, startup logo, UI menu and colour box are available from 100 pieces, and the sample can be built with your logo as well.
