I am looking into purchasing a 1992 v12 xjs.It comes with the cd changer in the trunk,the problem is that no one knows the radio code.Does anyone know how I can obtain this code.Thanks a lot Terry Spoor
3 of 4 of my XJSs had the code written on the radio. Worth pulling it out and taking a look.
Alternatives include…. The dealer, or Jaguar Heritage.
Years ago when I was at the dealer and performed PDIs, I would ‘scratch’ the RADIO CODE into the bonnet underside near the latch peg (very small).
A few times someone would call the shop phone from another shop and ask if I knew the code?
I would tell them they needed the radio serial number and call the service desk. Then I would tell they WAIT!!! Look at the upper left side under the bonnet for a 4 number code scratched in the paint.
A few times somebody would say ‘I FOUND IT!!!’ Thank You!!!
Worth a look because a few of us did that!!
I started doing it because I saw the code that someone had scratched and thought WHAT A GOOD IDEA.
It has been mentioned many times before on Jag-Lovers that the Jaguar dealerships have the radios codes and that if you bring them proof of ownership they will provide you with the codes if you pay a small fee. I have never done this myself but it is certainly worth your time to contact your nearest dealership and ask them about this.

It would be interesting know if Jaguar dealers still have this info for older cars. You’d think there would be a point where…eventually… corporate Jaguar no longer makes the data base available to dealers.

I do know one of our local dealerships (Park Place Jaguar by DFW Airport) does have the older key cut codes for Jags. When I lost the keys for my 2000 XJ8 about a year or so ago they were able to come up with the code, once I showed them proof of ownership (title). I had also asked them about radio codes if I should buy a good used one for Superblue and it didn’t come w. a code, and they seemed to indicate they could do similarly for it.
