You're unlucky having a coded radio in the US. Although all our Jaguar radios in the UK are coded, very few are in the US.

Any Jaguar Dealer can get the code for you with the VIN and proof of your ownership. Over here they usually do it free of charge.

Listings appear on eBay for radio decode from VIN but I've read some very mixed reports on the success of them. Worth a call to your nearest Jaguar Dealer first.

It's a 4 digit code which is entered using the telephone keypad on the radio headset.
