It was related to the CCF, I had selected "with microphone" in the CCF thinking that was the way to do it, seems it was not... set it back to "w ... |

OK here's a start.
If your sunroof is stuck partially open you can try to close it using a manual override of the motor.

Sunroof in ours has just packed it in, makes a clicking / grinding sound like a stripped gear or something similar.

Kit finally turned up. And there's some good news, the pins turn out to be identical to a connector out of a Jag X-Type.

I drove the supercharged XJR one Swiss winter, on 6-year old winter tyres that were knackered.
A bit of heavy snow and a few steep-ish hills to traverse. Was no problem.

Yes I find that you need to keep the treble on max, bass setting low, with the subwoofer high, otherwise it get's a bit muddy.
