The anti-theft program has kicked in (usually activated by the wrong code being put in 2 times). Turn the ignition key to position 1, and turn the radio on. After 1 or 2 hours, the word code will be displayed. At this time, if you put in the correct code, the radio should work.

Battery went flat, now why are radio and mmi not working?

Because the battery went flat. Most likely need a code from the dealership to make the radio work again.

Car wont start has charged battery lights and radio come on new starter. drainging battery even though the battery is fully charged its reading its not tempature gauge reading hot but its not runn

If the problem began when (or soon after) installing the new starter, start checking there. Ensure that all cables to the starter are tight. As a second possibility, if the new starter was actually a rebuilt replacement, the solenoid could be faulty. (I went through three rebuilt starters on my son's truck until we got one that worked properly.)

1998 Jaguar xj8 sport 48000 miles on clock, stood for a while in winter and battery went flat and remote wouldnt work, charged battery up, remote still wouldnt work so changed batteries as recommended in...

the remote may have come un-synchronised. (Due to a heavy knock or interference from a radio transmitter source. Like someones speed radar detector, or when the battery went flat.)

Consult your dealer on the synchronising process. This is an involved process but easy enough to do yourself at home!
