Radio & CD Autochanger Compatibility - Jaguar Units Mandatory

Issue:

Jaguar radios will only interface with authorized Jaguar CD Autochangers, not Alpine aftermarket units. When the radio is switched on, an initialization process establishes communication with the changer and checks the part number of the changer to determine if it is a Jaguar unit. If the CD autochanger is not a Jaguar unit, the CD button will remain inoperative. All radios in parts stock perform the initialization process.

Action:

Ensure that the CD Autochanger is Jaguar unit to avoid problems of incompatibility with the XK8 radio.
