'02 XJ8 electrical issue
Hi. This is my first post and I have a new-to-me 2002 XJ8. There is one minor electrical problem that I have a question about. The radio does not work, but instead the message "phone" is displayed in the radio display at all times. Even when the car is off, the "phone" dispay stays on. I currently have the radio fuse pulled because it will drain the battery if left in place overnight. Anything that I can look into myself before going to the dealer? Thanks for any suggestions.

XJ 2002 Phone off the hook
I have the same exact problem with the Phone/Radio. If you find a solution to this problem, please email me at brncpa@aol.com. I took the car to a stereo shop and the best they could do is tell me they would have to pull the radio and have a tech fix it for $500. I don't use the phone, so I was wondering if the phone could be disconnected somehow, without affecting the operation of the radio. Thanks!

You might program the radio to ignore the phone enable signal - there is a configuration in the radio to turn phone function on or off... if off it should ignore the false on signal it's seeing on the phone wire.
I don't know how to do this but have seen recent posts about it... perhaps search 'phone' and 'enable'.
