How to enter the Dodge radio code

Put the ignition in RUN and switch the radio on. A radio with buttons shows CODE or LOCKED – type the 4 digits with the preset buttons and confirm as the owner’s manual shows. On a Uconnect touchscreen, type the code on the keypad shown on the screen.

WAIT on the display? Three wrong codes block code entry. Leave the ignition in RUN for 30 minutes without interruption (Chrysler bulletin 08-051-11), then enter the right code once – see locked radio.

Where to find the serial

The serial is on the label on the radio case – on the Durango’s 8.4 radio, for example, it is on the back – so the radio usually has to come out of the dash. Some Uconnect radios, e.g. in the Grand Caravan, also show the serial on the screen when they ask for the code. Full walkthrough: how to find your radio serial number.

Serial or part number? The serial starts with T (TM9…, T00BE…, TVPQN…) or, on newer Continental radios, with A2C. The part number starts with P and does not give a code.

When a Dodge radio asks for a code

  • Dodges sold in Europe, such as the Nitro: the radio asks for the code after the battery has been disconnected. The code is on a card or sticker marked “Anti-Theft Radio Code”.
  • North American radios from model year 2012 learn the VIN of their vehicle and usually start again by themselves after a battery disconnect. Moved to another vehicle, they ask for the code.
  • After repairs: Ram, Charger and Avenger owners report the code request after a Uconnect update or after an engine computer was replaced – in their own vehicle.

Which Dodge radios are covered

All of these are recognised automatically from the full serial:

  • Panasonic – TM9 + 9 digits (e.g. TM9205901394).
  • Becker (Harman) – T00BE… (e.g. T00BE512870346); sometimes two possible codes – try them in order.
  • Continental – TVPQN + 9 characters (e.g. TVPQN123456789), or A2C… on newer Uconnect radios, including some Uconnect 8.4 units in the Charger, Durango and Journey (e.g. A2C5324310400012745). For A2C serials the code comes from the last 4 digits.
  • Alpine – T + a letter + 1AA… (e.g. TQ1AA2959A7235).

Not calculated automatically yet: MyGIG radios made by Mitsubishi (T00AM…) and Delphi radios (T0MYD…). Send the serial with the request form and our team will look the code up. Chrysler and Jeep radios are on the Chrysler and Jeep pages.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get my Dodge radio code from the VIN?

Not here – the code comes from the radio serial on the label. A Dodge or Ram dealer can look it up with the radio serial and the VIN; for a radio from another vehicle they also ask for that vehicle's VIN.

Does this work for Ram pickups?

Yes. Ram pickups use the same radio families as Dodge – Panasonic, Harman Becker and Continental – so type the full serial from the label in the same way.

My Dodge radio shows WAIT. What should I do?

The radio blocks code entry after three wrong codes. Chrysler bulletin 08-051-11 says to leave the ignition in RUN for 30 minutes without interruption – driving is fine. When CODE appears again, enter the right code once.

Does this work for Dodge MyGIG and Uconnect radios?

Radios with a serial starting TM9, T00BE, TVPQN, A2C or T + a letter + 1AA: yes. MyGIG radios made by Mitsubishi (serial T00AM…), found on the Nitro, Journey and Charger, cannot be calculated automatically yet – use the request form and our team will look the code up.

I bought a used radio. Will it ask for a code?

Usually yes – a radio moved from another vehicle asks for its own code. Type the serial from its label here. A dealer would ask for the serial and the VIN of the donor vehicle, then link the radio to your VIN.

Which number on the label is the serial?

The long number that starts with T – for example TM9…, T00BE… or TVPQN… – or, on newer Continental radios, with A2C. The label also shows a part number starting with P (e.g. P05091201AC); that number does not give a code.

Is the Dodge radio code free?

Yes. Codes from this page are free, without sign-up. If your serial is not recognised, our team can look it up.
