Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / August 2005XJ40 cd installation information needed - 1991
i'm installing a cd changer in my 91 and found the DIN cable behind the radio not connected to anything. I've looked everywhere and there is no place to plug it in. The radio has the CD buttion with the cassett button, so i believe it is capable. There are two cables which leave the radio, one on the lower right and is buried which I suspect is the antenna and antenna motor control, and the big connector in the center of the radio which goes to the speakers. Is there a chance my radio doesn't support the CD option? Any suggestions are welcome Dave You are correct... unfortunately not all radios that have the CD button support a CD changer. I found this to my dismay when I purchased a changer and had nowhere to plug the cable into the radio even though the 'CD' marking was there for all to see! When you obtain a radio that supports the changer it will be obvious where to plug the cable i.e. it isn't 'hidden' on the radio you have. eBay is a good place to obtain a cheap radio but make sure that you state you want the security code also! I bought mine off ebay but it came with no code and when I questioned the seller, his reply was 'you didn't say you wanted a code and Ii don't have it'! It cost me a further £12 to get it decoded! > i'm installing a cd changer in my 91 and found the DIN cable behind the > radio not connected to anything. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Dave Hi. So you *can* get a radio decoded? I'm in Aust and have disconnected my battery a couple of times to avoid current drain (50 mA when not used - that is another story - see my post on 28/8 (Aust time)). I have lost the bit of paper that had my codes on! I remember the actual numbers but not the sequence of keystrokes. Can any kind person help?
