Default 2002 Jaguar S-Type Radio Code

Hi Folks,

Its almost a month now driving my 2002 S-Type Jag without car radio. I'd traveled out of town with a company vehicle for 3 weeks, by the time i got back, my Jag could not start. I discovered that the battery had drained, and memory got lost. I jump-started it, and discovered the radio was asking for a code.

This was kinda new to me, as i was not provided with a code when i procured the vehicle. Its boring now driving without radio in it, and want to find out from this forum if there is anything i can do to have my car radio back in working mode. How can i have a code, or is there any other way i can reset or clear the memory, or bypass to override the code? I need your help guys. Remember its a 2002 S-Type.

Thanks

Scott - Malawi

Welcome to the forum Scott,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Any Jaguar Dealer can look up the 4-numeric radio security code from the VIN. In the UK this is a regular request as the radio code cards often go missing in used cars and I can't recall any reports of them charging for this. Try a Malawi dealer first.

Follow this link S-Type / S type R Supercharged V8 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hi Folks,

I still have not yet found helpful information to help unlock my Jaguar S-Type Locked Radio. Its kinda boring driving such an impressive car with no sound in it. Do they sell the radio codes, if yes how can i buy? We do not have any Jaguar dealer in Malawi, so if anything we only transact online.

Please help.

Scott - From Lilongwe -Malawi.

Hey Guys,

I tried the Radio Code Generator, and my last Serial details are M18979, and when i press button 5 on the Radio, it says ''Serial Number invalid''

Any suggestions?

Scott
