Love my Jaguar XJ8 Sovereign 1999 but Radio stuck in ‘PHONE’ message
Got my 1999 XJ8 Sovereign yesterday. Absolutely wonderful, really a thing of beauty.
Problem with Radio: Battery had been flat because car was parked up so charged battery up and started car. Radio displayt was dead. Checked fuse and it was blown so replaced it. Entered radio security code and display now states: “PHONE”. Tried all of the buttons on the radio but nothing operates. Aerial does go up if I press AM/FM.
Tried pulling out phone fuses nr 5 and nr 10 in the left hand heel board fuse box but this did not stop ‘PHONE’ message.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum Simn,
Good to have you with us.
I see you have already posted in the tech section, I know you are anxious but there's no need for multiple posts on the same subject.
Enjoy the forum.
If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Welcome to the forum Simon,
Pressing the Call button (telephone symbol) should take it out of PHONE mode and back into AUDIO mode. After a discharged battery, I'm surprised it's not displaying CODE for the security code to be entered.
Follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
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 may also like to visit the UK Region section by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-68/ to find other members in this country.
Enjoy the forum.
