I would go to a Renault Dealer vs: trying to use the phone, & just ask one time, what the procedure is, for getting as well as entering the radio code
Not all vehicles require doing that. If your does,write everything down, as you will have the battery cables off or other issues as time passes.
No one on the internet should know your VIN# or would have a code for anything. That is the purpose. So if your radio is stolen, it won't work in something else
You can get the code - but it will require some work. The dealer should be able to retrieve this info w/o much difficulty - but will charge more for it. You may want to try a different dealer. In any case, below is how to do it for $29 when the dealer won't. You'll need to know the make, model, year of the car and a valid email address in order for the code to be sent back you.
Remove the radio from the dash and copy the serial number (you must remove the radio from the dash to do this).
Locate & copy the Vehicle Identification Number or VIN (on the car itself or registration documents).
You can't reset it yourself. It takes a scanner at your Local Dealership to do it. People do it, (new battery or dead battery) everyday unaware that doing so can and usually does, arm the theft system and either kills the radio or the whole car. To me it's just another built-in defect that requires dealer assistance. It's a buzz kill I know, and it probably won't be long until car owners won't even have access to the engine compartment. They will need your VIN, and then they call HQ to get the code for your radio, which will also bring your whole car back to life.

Many of the earlier jaguars cars will have the pre-wiring installed but not the phone option. If you have Bluetooth installed. Hold the radio button marked with a phone for about a second, the display will change to indicate xxxxx or 'No Phone'. If the latter is the case then it is most likely that you do not have the option installed
Based on your VIN number, your car has the wiring to implement the bluetooth module. The Jaguar part number is C2N 3689, but please check with your dealer to confirm that it is possible.
Please accept the solution if it's helpful to you and get back with us for any further query. Thanks for contacting FixYa.
Nice & easy- Have your radio switched on. Push & hold the volume knob for 3 seconds. It should now say Initial volume setting (or something of the like), scroll to the right & it should say clock setting, press the volume knob again. Turn the knob to change the hour figure, press the volume knob again for minutes and press the knob again to set.
