A google look of jaguar radio code shows a lot of options like....


Jaguar radio code

 

Radiocode.com sent me the code for the radio I bought with no code. It didn't work several times, but then it did.

 

I have only this.
If you will solder jumpers like on the pics you will have code

 

Which requires the VIN of the car the radio came from, which I do not have. The radio decode sites I found required the VIN, or it was too old to work. There is one in the UK that tried to decode and came up with an error. We're talking to see if there is a way around it. Other option is the change the jumpers to match the codes shown in the post above.

 

Since we are talking about radios...I need an AJ8700 to fit into my '89. If anyone has one in good condition and for sale please contact me.

Thanks!

I didn't have a VIN number for the car that the radio I bought came from. No way I could have supplied that. I sent them the serial number of the radio, period. When I was having this issue, Jaguar dealer was the only one that asked for a vehicle VIN number.

 

A few on Ebay.

 

The solution is to change the jumpers on the solder pads to match the ones shown in the photos by XJSV12, leave the radio powered for 2 hours and then enter the corresponding code to match the pattern of jumpers I choose. Then it works. This is for the AJ9150W.

 

Unsolder all jumpers will give code 1324, without any 2 hours.

 

This information is correct only for these faces

 

Indeed it does! My radio powers up and accepts the code after removingn the jumpers. Now to make sure the car's harness is correct, as this is a 92 radio going into a 94 V12 and naturally the wiring is different.

 

Seems my radio is dead. Powers up and accepts the code, tunes to a station, but there is no sound. A faint hum from the speakers when the plug is connected, but no music from the speakers when turned on.

Other oddities is it would not accept the code and power up until the illumination wire had power, and as soon as the power was connected the antenna would rise, no matter if the radio was turned on or not.

I followed the wiring diagram for a 1992 XJS, and as far as I know this is the correct radio (AJ9150W) for that wiring configuration. I know the later radio's ( AJ9250W) look identical but have different wiring.

This same radio was used for late (1991-92) Series III XJ12 sedans, but I couldn't find a wiring diagram for those cars.
