2000 VDP - SC Premium Sound - AM/FM not working
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post! I've been to the dealer twice already and will be taking my jag back again next week for the same issues. In the meantime, I would be truly appreciative for any insight.
Problem - AM or FM static then no sound - OEM Premium sound system installed
Symptoms:
- AM/FM functional intermittently, usually until car warms up and then nothing but static
-AM/FM seeks and locks to local AM/FM radio stations, but no sound is played
- CD & Navigation sound systems are fully functional
Jag dealer wanted $1700 to replace the radio. After picking my self up off the floor because of sticker shock, I ordered a used radio from EBAY (exact same model) Husband installed new radio.
New Symptoms:
- NO AM or FM whatsoever
- CD and Navigation still work fine
- AM/FM seek and lock to local stations, but no sound. Not even static.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Terri - Fairfax VA

Can't help with the stereo, sorry, but I would love to know where you found a used headunit, as I'm looking for one myself, but due to the nature of Ebay I'm having trouble finding one... it seems to limit my searches to only people the will send to New Zealand, which is almost nobody

The car sound system came in 2 configuration, base and premium but use the same head unit that need to be configured, through the switch, for the system you have, premium in your case

I thought that was only the case for XK's, not XJ's? Also, if that was the case, then there'd be no sound at all.
I had the radio out over the weekend, I really should have checked it more thoroughly... oops... unfortunately I was in a bit of a hurry and had other things to do.

I just found another thread posting about am or fm no sound issue -
quote - one of the wires that lead to my power antennae was not connected correctly. I could not believe that could cause the sound to stop, but as soon as I reconnected the wire, it worked!
Here is the weblink to the thread (look at post #3):
