own 97 xk8, low miles, love the car. a couple of issues. cig lighter does not work, need it to charge my phone, fuse indicator in the trunk says c14-20. pulled the interior panel where the fuses are and its graph shows it only goes up to c7, where is c14. i assume the amp (?) of the fuse is 20, correct?

2nd- speakers are shot and radio needs updating, took it to a local trusted audio place they want over $800 to replace all speakers and put in bluetooth audio streaming kit and fm antenna adapters so i can utilize my iPhone for my music, would you take it to a dealer?

how do u get the valet off?

lrg3isme,

If actually mean an XK, you would be better off to post in the XK Forum.

Even if you have an XJ, not an XK, I would not suggest going to a dealer to do the audio upgrade you propose.

Valet should be turned off if you've opened the car with the fob or using the regular key in the driver's door.

Welcome to the forums. When you have time, please visit the new member area and introduce yourself:

You can also cancel the valet function by using the black key to unlock the trunk.
