Default Radio not recognizing CD player

I have a 93 XJS that I am still resolving problems with the radio/CD player
I've searched threads regarding this, but I have found no similar situation.
The radio works
The CD player seems to function, loading and unloading the magazine: even moving the first disc into the player.
The CD plug is connected and all fuses have been checked.
There is no display showing CD errors: nothing
When selecting CD/tape nothing changes on the display screen.
If you put a cassette into the player, the display shows "Side 1/ Side 2" so the system recognizes the cassette player.
Any suggestions as to what I should try next?

Time for bluetooth my good man. And perhaps one with a USB reader so that you can upload your own playlists.

I seem to recall my 94 had two separate cables to the CD player in the boot.
Let me know if you want to try a working cable.

This changer only has one cable.
And the ones I've seen on Ebay only have one also.
But thanks for your offer.
I will be exploring cable connections as soon as it warms up a little.
