My radio in my x type jaguar is asking for a code but will not accept one,instead it just says code on the screen, above this is a bar with what looks like a clock in it

Radio codes are normally dependent upon the serial number of the radio. You obtain the serial number off the radio and contact the dealer and they can give you the code once you verify that you are indeed the proper owner of the radio.

• The 4-digit code for your radio is listed on the two radio security cards supplied with the vehicle.
• Enter the code by using the pre-set buttons numbered 1 to 6 and a "beep sound" occurs.
• If the code is not properly entered, then begin the code entry again, starting with the first digit. If the code is not properly entered in three successive attempts the radio will not accept any entry until the radio has been left on for one hour (the radio display will show the word 'WAIT'). After one hour in the 'on' position the radio will accept three additional entries.

Note: Should you lose your radio security cards, contact your Jaguar Dealer, who for security reasons will require proof of vehicle ownership.

I hope this info helps!

leave key on number 1 and after 1 hour not before reenter code and will work.

Simple contact you local Jag dealership and ask them, they will need the VIN No and there is a small charge. Then follow the instructions on http://www.bluejag.co.uk to enter code.

I don't own an S Type so I can't try this, however Ford Radio systems apear to work the same.

You will need your unlock code for the radio, see details at http://www.bluejag.co.uk

Then with radio off press key 6 and hold while turning radio power on, continue to hold key 6. After 15 - 20 seconds the screen will say CODE release key 6 then enter your code.

Press key 1 on the radio until the first number of your code appears. then repeat for 2,3,4 and once your code is on the screen you then press 5 to accept it.

Also remember to set your windows by holding the switches in the up position for about 5 seconds each

If you have just connected the battery The touch screen display should ask you to enter the 4 digit code. just key in the numbers on the screen and it will revert to the radio but all your presets will be wiped out - so you will have to retune. sometimes you may have to switch screens by turning the climate on/off.
hope this helps, add comment if you need further infor.
