Hi,normaly you need a live wire and a earth wire,so if you find a live wire you need to put a fuse holder between the live wire that you have picked and the radio,then the rest is just to sort out your speakers.
hope this was some help.

well what kind of wiring did you do? hard wire it one by one or did you use a plug n play from like walmart???

not sure what model you are asking about? in 1988 there was the series 3. the xjs 5,3 v12. and the 6 cyl 3.6 and 4.0 ltr give me the vehicle you are asking about the xj8 was in the market in the late 1990s

Sounds like you need a new ignition switch. It is either attached to the key cylinder or down towards the bottom of the column, under the dash. It may just be loose, or needs adjusting.

Change radio

Generally you any after market radio can be installed into any car. You might have to cut the original wiring connector but basically all you need to hook up a basic radio/cd player is a positive and a ground wire. That's what powers the radio/cd player. Next all you need to do is hook up the speaker wires the unit. One other option is to check out ebay for a used radio/cd player. You will do better getting a radio that does not have an anti-theft feature. If it has an anti-theft feature you will have to enter a code to make it work.

if your putting in an after market radio,you need to go to walmart and buy a wire adapter for your year and make of car

master cylinder needs to be rebuilt or replaced
