I'm fairly sure, assuming you have all the books etc, that there will be a radio booklet with the code.

Failing that, give a Jag dealer a call and give him the VIN number from which he should be able to tell you.

For interest, what Jag is it?

The VIN is the Vehicle Identification Number.

For a car of that age, you'll have had it MOT'd, so the VIN will appear on the MOT Certificate the garage provided.

From that, ask your nearest Jag dealership for help.

The VIN number can be found bottom left of your windscreen from outside the car, under your tax disc. It's the unique identifier for legals and dealerships.

Just wondered as I (D) work for JLR.

Good luck

each radio code is unique to the car if the code has been changed by any owner only way to unlock is local car hi fi shop can hook the system up to a computer with decoding software normally costs 10 to 15 quid.

Nothing to do with vin or chasis numbers. Its simply a security code for the radio itself...like a pin number. Nip to a jag dealer and they will provide it....probably at a cost though

So you don't think we (JLR) know what radio code should be allocated to each car? From a build perspective, all of that kind of info is recorded

For my x type its on a small card, roughly inch sq, which was in the handbook wallet when I got the car, in the glove box, might have been written into service book or stuck into a page somewhere, its a 4 digit pin. As said before nothing to do with VIN

I needed my code last year and my car is 8 yrs old I phoned the workshop where I bought it they gave me the code. It maybe because I had bought it new that they had it. I'm not sure

I didn't think they are universal.

You could get a man in who charges about a tenner to give you a new one.

the Vin identifies the vehicle and if the radio is the one fitted at the factory the dealers will be able to trace the code

if you bought the car second hand the radio might have been removed for safety and then the code will be written on the radio in felt tip pen

The above is assuming its the same radio supplied with the car as often they can get changed.

Call the dealer that supplied the vehicle that can be found in the front of the service book.

What you are looking for is a small card with a number printed on it four digets generally. Alternatively it could be just written in the Service Book at the front or back.

Good luck.

The moral to the story is never ask on here.

Cover it in peanut butter the code will show through the display
