I have the factory (both Jaguar and Phillips) installation drawings
for the Factory Phillips radio for 1969. Your model number is
correct and the wiring is as follows
White/Blue is the down lead for the elect. antenna to relay C3
Blue/Red is the up lead to relay C1
Brown/Purple is the power( antenna) lead with a 10 amp fuse in line-
-lead goes to fuse block #4
White/Pink To aerial relay W1
Radio power is the lead with a 2 amp fuse in line -to #4 also and
the lead is (Brown?)
You have a ground lug and the other leads are for the speakers
Best of luck–

I recently acquired a Philips 22RN681-85 radio, which came from a
1969 XKE FHC.
I want to test the radio before I install it in the car I am
restoring, and need to understand the connections.

Clean the inside really well before putting power to it,
and test before installing.–

Hello.
I have the very same original type Philips radio, which I am
testing prior to installing it in my car. It will replace a
nasty Pioneer cassette, installed by a previous owner.
I am trying to determine figure out the wiring connections.
Here’s what I have on the back of the radio. Few match the
colors mentioned in the attached message. I’m hoping
someone can help.
Was the round gray plastic DIN connector used (a round
cylinder with a set of about eight pins)? It would have
been plugged into a similar male connector, that was on the
car�s wiring harness.
Ground (-): Appears to be the black wire with the a ring
terminal that attaches to the ground lug on the radio
chassis box.
Positive (+): There is a gray wire with a bullet connector
coming out of the back. It could be the positive
connection, or perhaps for the power antenna lead or for a
dial light?
There is a spade terminal on the back of the radio,
connected to a transistor. It�s covered with a plastic
piece, and doesn�t look like it�s been used, but it could be
the positive connection for the radio.
Speakers: There are two pairs of wires, and I�m quite sure
these are the speakers.
Mounting: Was the radio only mounted with the shaft nuts
to the sheet metal enclosure console that goes on the
transmission hump? Or, were metal straps used to support
the back of the radio, using the bolt attachment points on
the sides of the radio chassis? If straps were used, did
they attach to the console on the inside, or directly to the
transmission hump?
THANKS for your help.

As it happens, I have my Philips radio out for repair. The radio mounts with two machine screws which hold it to the dash supports. There are two nutzerts on each side for this purpose, the forward ones are the the ones to use.
Wiring is simple. Facing the back:
On the right is the DIN connector, not used in the Jag application. It should have an integral cap with a shorting pin. The antenna connector is directly below this.
In the center is a screw bus, which is where the ground connection attaches. The tab on the transistor is also a ground, but isn’t used.
On the left side is a two conductor lead for the speakers. The two speakers are 8 ohm and wired in parallel.
Directly below this is the power lead (grey wire), which has an inline fuse.
I’m putting together a page on E-Type radios, if anyone would has photos, schematics, user documents, or advertising literature, please contribute.
