Took mine to the dealer to check and see the cost of the removal of the radio. 250 bucks and he said it may not have the module. I asked him since it comes up on the radio without the ID does it mean no module. He couldnt answer. I hat to spen the 250 only to find out I dont have a module. Can I do this some how? Is the module part of the radio or a plug in?

 

I've ran into an xf with the same problem. After re-configuring the sat module, the ID came back on the touch screen.

 

How do you re-config the module?

 

Any person with a sdd or at the dealer

 

please excuse my ignorance, what's a sdd?

 

Dealer diagnostic computer

 

WOW So my dealer wants $250 to hook it to the computer to retrieve or reset the module. How many hours of labor is it? Is this unreasonable?

 

Most dealers would charge 1 hr for diagnostic, and additional xx hours to repair fault.

 

Sat module is plug in. But it runs on a fiber optic (MOST) system. The most system is a little complicated. The most cable has to be in specified order for all the modules (that have MOST) to function properly. It might be possible to add in the sat feature, but you would have the hassle to find out where in the most system to plug it into, adding power for the sat module, and routing the antenna.

 

I also took my XF to the dealer and they were able to locate the module under one of the front seats and give me the Sirius ID with no charge. After that I had no problem activating it. I also used the link below for 2 free months on a pre-owned vehicle.

After the trial ends they SiriusXM offered a 5 month extension for $25+ fees, a good deal I went for. Now I'm wondering how long they will keep giving you these specials to continue service until they feel they have you hooked, then demand you to pay the full rate?

 

I just found out that the the satellite radio module is in the trunk located just above the navigation dvd player. I easily removed it loosening 3 8mm bolts without disconnecting it, turn it over and writing down ID number which is printed on the bottom of it, called sirius and had it started up. Took less than 15 min to do it. Costs $0.00. ???? $250 from jag dealer. I think this set up is correct in all 2010 or later xks.

 

Can I say..."Nice score"!
Happy......

 

Bobdr1,
Thank you for saving me hundreds of hours reading ignorant posts which say contact the tech support in Asia. And they genuinely believe they are contributing something with those suggestions, or even sillier take to dealer with Vaseline.

Thanks for making my day. Hope to reciprocate.

Q&C

 

Worked perfect for me, thanks so much!

 

Thanks for the post. Though I don't own a '10 or later Jag, I'm sure your fellow brothers will appreciate this post.
Happy Motoring....

 

This worked for me as well. Thanks.

 

Some one just helped me out with locating my Sirius module on my 2010 FX. You have to remove the four bolts on the driver seat and slide it back. The module is under the carpet there under the driver side seat. You have two modules there phone and Sirius. I just took a picture of the module and called Sirius and ten minutes later it was activated.

 

That's a good post mate! I'm sure the 2010 guys will thank you.

 

This just saved me a lot of time and trouble. I am the least mechanically inclined person on earth, and even I was able to do this myself. Exactly as described, easily found the module, loosened it, and got the number underneath. Sirius was no help. Dealer was useless, though I’m wondering if they feigned ignorance. Thanks for your help, years after your post!!
