HELP

today i removed the cd changer from the boot as the magazine was stuck . i managed to get it out and refitted the unit to the car pressed the eject button but still no eject gave it a few taps and then it came out did this a few times and it was working fine then the light on the eject button went out and does not come back on again so does not eject any more .now the radio shows the station and volume but no sound also now the car screen says no phone fitted and the phone does not work i have checked all fuses  the car is 2005 xj6 any help gratefully received thanks

 

Make sure you have properly replaced the D2B connector on the CDC first.

Hi Paul took the cdc out again today and found the flexi tape between the cdc player and the box at the rear was torn searched e bay and found the part so its a waiting game till the part comes thanks again for reply will post again when i refit the unit  Ian 

Thanks for letting me know 🙂

Hi just an update i have fitted the ribbon and refitted the cdc which is now ejecting as it should but still no sound from radio. When i press the cd button nothing happens no warning on screen like before,

also when i press phone button it says on the screen there is no phone on this system ,it has been fitted from new am i missing something or is there a reset button?? also does the mute button on the steering wheel have anything to do with the music side of things or is it just for the phone ,how does it un mute just by moving the volume control ,its doing my head in just by disconnecting the cdc all this other problems have appeared  hope you can shed some light for me thanks ian

To start off with, I'd suspect that a total loss of sound has to be a D2B problem. Re-check the D2B on the CDC first perhaps? Otherwise, there should be a D2B loopback connector in the wiring loom somewhere close by. Disconnect the CDC D2B and plug the loopback into the loom and see if you get any sounds from elsewhere ie. radio, single CD etc.

Thanks i will try tomorrow  Ian

HI PAUL HAVE TRIED THE LOOP BUT STILL NO SOUND HAVE ALSO TRIED THE EJECT AND AM FM BUTTON THEN EJECT AND MIX THIS SHOWS MAIN THEN DTS THEN BACK TO MAIN  HAVE ALSO TRIED THE TORCH ON THE FIBRE OPTICS AND ALL SHOW LIGHT AT THE OTHER END I HAVE ALSO CHECKED THE FUSES BUT ONLY VISIBLY I WILL CHECK AGAIN WITH THE METER ALSO I DONT KNOW IF I MENTIONED BEFORE BUT THE IN CAR PHONE IS ALSO NOT WORKING WHEN I PRESS THE PHONE BUTTON THE DASH SAYS ITS NOT FITTED WHEN I PRESS THE CD BUTTON THERE IS NO CHANGE IN DASH JUST KEEPS SOWING THE CHANNELS ANY THING ELSE I CAN TRY THANKS IAN 

I think I'd be putting it on diagnostics new. Bit of a trip for you to come here 😉 Have you got diagnostics?

Hi paul no i only have snap on modus plus and dont see anything for audio on it will i need t go to a jaguar main dealer pity you are so far away i am up in the north east of scotland  maybe i will phone the nearest main dealer and ask if they will do a diagnostic in  aberdeen or inverness thanks maybe its time for a change of address for the jag ian 

I was based at Kinloss many years ago (When we still had Nimrods). Wonderful part of the world.

Maybe a club member close to you has SDD? Personaqlly I don't think there's too much of a problem with your car but dealers will charge £100 just for a quick diagnostic check.

However, in quiet desperation, disconnect the battery (make sure you have the radio code), touch the two battery wires together and leave for 10 minutes before re-connecting.

Thanks again Paul i will go and try with fingers crossed will let you know how i get on cheers ian

Hi Paul no joy i just spoke to the landrover garage he tells me he has the diagnostics for jag so will give him a shout its only 5 mile to aberlour cheers for all your help .let you know how i get on Ian

OK just back from aberlour internal cdc player fault so i will buy a loop and bypass the cdc and see what happens do you have a number for the loop or just use the same number  on the existing loop cheers ian

Hi Ian.

Getting somewhere. If you don't mind, how much did the diagnostic cost?

If you've got a loop back just plug it into the D2B loom.

I might have a spare CDC lying around somewhere.

HI paul we put our class 7 mots up to oggs garage in aberlour we are up quite a lot so it was a freebie i work in a garage in rothes  we only do class 4 like most garages so we can work together a bit i dont have a loop  would you know the part no or will any loop off ebay fit ??if you have a cdc in working order i would buy it from you cheers ian

I can certainly send you a loopback Ian. Let me see what I can do about a CDC, no promises though 🙂

PMed Ian
