Radio Security Code

Postby cjfp19 » Sun Feb 05, 2023 1:57 pm

Hi I have just had a new battery fitted but I have missed the Security Code for the radio. Does anybody know how I can find out what it is.
I have also mislaid the radio handbook and checked all the documentation which came with the car.

If all else fails there are websites you can get it from for a fairly low fee.

Chris,

From memory, there's a way of bypassing it. It definitely used to work on x-types and s-types that use the same basic screen system.

You press the fast forward button on the bottom row, then simultaneously press the A.Mem button, then simultaneously press the PTY button for 2 seconds and Bingo, it should come to life! Worth a try!

Good luck

Many thanks Paul, it worked a treat, it just goes to show if you have a problem with your Jag. somebody in the club will have the answer.

All the best, Chris
