You at least need a cable with the outer two pins and a ground, and the easiest way to get that is to use a six-conductor cable. It likely won't be labeled as a CAN cable, though, as CAN is usually just 4 conductors in the middle of a 6-pin connector. Not connecting those outer two wires would definitely keep you from communicating with the Jaguar over a serial connection.
