2001 XJR ashtray lid won't stay closed

Hi a couple of things, how many sections of antenna should go up?
It appears I have the original keys but the trunk lid won't open, key turns part way then stops.
Ashtray lid won't stay closed, it appears it wants to but still retracts. Is this magnet based?
Is it possible to hook up and utilize the bluetooth features and steering wheel controls for my android smartphone?
Any exhaust mods to increase the sound/performance?
Thanks to all...Happy Motoring!

My black key would open the trunk using the slot to the left on the XJR emblem, but I had to use lubricant. Even after lubing, it had to be pushed in firmly, and then turn to the right. When you push it in with enough force, you can make it go in an additional bit.
As far as the antenna goes, mine doesn't extract as much as it appears it should. It looks as though there is still 2 or 3 sections left to go up. Not sure if this is normal.
Hope this helps some, at least.

some pic's are not accessible but the text is quite descriptive.
I'd recommend removing the ashtray to check. Here's the link on how:

Performance mods simply boil down to how much you got is how fast you go. Most of the mods involve swapping pulleys. You can do either upper or lower. So far from what I read, the lower pulley for our cars (I have an 01 XJR as well) appears to be a better option in terms of boost (+4lbs). Installing lower pulley also eliminates having to grind down the supercharger snout to accommodate smaller diameter upper pulley (1.5 to 3.0 of boost).
If you really want to go "top shelf" then search for Avos' twin screw super charger kit which will give you around 200 hp. Since our XJRs don't have LSD, that's something else to factor when getting this upgrade.
I'd stay away from filter and exhaust mods as they will only add a very negligible hp that you may not even feel on the street. Good luck and have fun!

Is it possible you are using the Green Key to try to open your trunk? That is a Valet key and it will not work. You need the black one. Otherwise, you likely need to clean and/or adjust the lock and latch mechanisms in the trunk.
The Motorola T605 Bluetooth option does not connect to the steering wheel buttons, but it works VERY well for Phone calls using Voice Control on your phone, or the buttons on the T605 mounted on your dash. It can also stream music from your phone if wired correctly.
Motorola T605 Installed in My 99 XJR.
