Uconnect units in Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep cars ask for an anti-theft code after the battery has been disconnected or the radio has been swapped. Each unit’s code is tied to its own serial number.
What the serial looks like. Usually 14 characters starting with T, such as T0MYD… or T00BE…; Panasonic-built Uconnect units use 12 characters starting TM9.
Where to read it. Only on the unit’s own label, so plan on taking the radio out: lever off the trim with a prying tool, then undo the four screws behind it.
By VIN? A dealer can sometimes find the code in the factory record of the radio your car was built with. We go by the serial printed on the unit, so a radio swapped in from another car still gets its own, correct code.
The form is the same for all three makes: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep.
On the unit’s own label — 14 characters starting T, or 12 starting TM9 on Panasonic-built units. You have to take the radio out of the dash to see it.
Yes. Every code we can answer is free and emailed 24 hours after you order; a small fee only skips the wait.
