Make sure the MUTE function is enabled as follows:

Enter setup mode as follows:
-Press the TAPE EJECT and AM/FM buttons simultaneously.
-Now press PRESET 4 button repeatedly until 'TEL ON' shows
-After 15 seconds the display should clear and hopefully the mute will now work.

Mute can be tested by grounding the mute pin.

I tried what you said but the phone func was already on.


Also I noticed my aerial doesn't work and also nothing on the satnav screen.


Any ideas, all fuses in the boot are ok

Hi Still can't get the mute to work. I noticed there's a mute output from the radio to the amp. Do you think I could disconnect from the radio and take it to the parrot?

Default Progress?

Rocky,

Did you succeed? I started looking at this six years ago with help from White XKR and StevePaa (who very kindly gave me a connector to join the RT connectors in the boot together). Unforturnately, my Radio Telephone (RT..) connectors were corroded and not usable, with blown fuses etc. After a six year delay, I've got them operational and the phone bit of the puzzle works for me - plug and play with a Nokia CK300..

To connect to the 10 pin connector under the armrest I used "Autoleads Cellular Interface Lead PC6-101", which makes the telephony bit more simple. I'm using
JAG-CDR Auxiliary Jack, Changer retention Kit for Select Jaguar XJ and XK :: iPod Adapters & Interfaces to create an Aux connection or relay of stereo output to the factory system, either wired or via bluetooth adaptor.

Default Lead in question

This is the lead... If you cannot find one, I have a slightly butchered one... Works for MY2000

Hi


Many thanks


I did actually succeed with this project. The problem I had was a very simple one but yet very fustrating.


I had to purchase a spare head unit to eliminate it and then coming to remove my original one I discovered that the yellow connector was not fully plugged into the radio.


It was such a simple problem I created from being careful and once plugged in all the way everything started working.


Thanks for asking
