How the process works

Everything runs from the serial number on the radio's own label.

  1. 1 Locate the serial number Look for it on the sticker on the housing. The radio normally has to come forward a little - the wiring can stay plugged in.
  2. 2 Type it into the box Just the serial and your email. The format check runs before the payment step.
  3. 3 Your code arrives in seconds The code is delivered automatically, day or night. Enter it on the radio and the anti-theft screen goes away.

If it does not work, you are refunded in full.

What Is the CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS Radio?

Fitted as factory equipment in selected Chrysler models, the CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS handles audio playback and vehicle integration out of the box. Depending on the version, it can also add Bluetooth, touchscreen operation, CD/DVD playback, navigation or wider multimedia support.

Chrysler used the CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS on selected models produced between 2017-2021, typically alongside the Continental multimedia platform. It is one of the factory units most often seen from that era.

Background on the platform itself is published by Continental Automotive.

Where to Find Your CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS Serial Number

The code is calculated from the radio's own serial number, so that number is the only thing you need before ordering. It is printed on the chassis label of the unit itself, not in the vehicle documents.

On this unit: Chassis top label. Removal required.

Getting to the label:

  1. Pull the unit forward with release keys (a few dollars online) - the wiring can stay plugged in.
  2. Read the serial from the printed label on the housing, next to or under the barcode.
  3. Enter it exactly as it appears - no spaces, no dashes.
What the serial looks like: TQN or TVPQN followed by 9 more characters; A2C followed by 16 more characters; A3C followed by 13 more characters.

The Situations That Lock a CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS

Nearly all of the CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS codes we generate follow one of these four events.

New battery, locked radio

Any battery work counts as a power cut to the radio. It locks automatically and waits for the original code before playing again.

Back from the mechanic, radio locked

Mechanics routinely disconnect the battery before electrical work. The car comes back fixed and the radio comes back locked - expected, not a fault.

A unit from a donor car

Swapping in a second-hand radio means a new serial and therefore a new code - the one from the old unit cannot work.

A used car with a locked radio

Second and third owners rarely get the code card. The radio itself still carries everything needed - its serial number.

Whichever of these applies, the fix is identical: the serial number off the radio, the form at the top of this page, and the code is emailed in seconds.

Jeep Compass MP (base NAFTA trims) 2017-2021

Vehicle compatibility can differ between trims, model years and regional versions. Because the same car could leave the factory with different radios, identify your unit before placing an order.

Entering the code on the CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS

The code goes into the unit itself, not into the car's menus.

  1. Put the key in accessory position so the unit powers up and asks for the code.
  2. A four-digit keypad appears on the display.
  3. Key in the code, one digit at a time, left to right.
  4. The unit checks the code automatically on the last digit.
  5. Right code in, lock screen gone - the radio is back to its usual self.

Things that can catch you out

Too many wrong attempts

After a few wrong entries the radio stops accepting codes for a while - cutting power only restarts the clock. 30-minute WAIT timer after three wrong attempts.

The label is not where I expected

Only the radio itself carries it - slide the unit forward and the label is right there. Chassis top label. Removal required.

Locked again after it was fine

Nothing is broken. Any interruption to the 12V supply brings the lock screen back. Loss of 12V supply.

I am not sure I have the right variant

Close relatives of this unit look almost identical from the driver's seat. Compass-specific 312 variant. The 637 NAFTA COMPASS sibling carries the larger touchscreen; the 312 is the small-screen entry trim.

Note the four digits somewhere safe - they are permanent and reusable after any power cut.

CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS Radio Code - Questions and Answers

Pricing depends on the radio family and starts at $9.99. The exact amount for your serial is shown at checkout before you pay anything, so there is no surprise at the end.

No. Every radio has its own code, tied to its own serial number - a code from a different unit of the same model will never fit. Order the code for the serial printed on the radio that is actually in the dash.

Usually yes, because the serial is printed on a label on the unit itself rather than shown on screen. Release keys are cheap and the unit only has to come forward far enough to read the label - the wiring can stay connected.

No. The code for the CAR MAKER VP2 312 NAFTA COMPASS comes from the radio's own serial number, not from the vehicle identification number. A VIN lookup only works on Renault and Dacia units - for every other make, including this one, the serial from the radio label is what we need.

Yes, and this is one of the most common orders. It makes no difference where the unit came from - the code is generated from the serial on ITS label, so read the serial off the replacement unit and enter that.

Yes. The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so if the battery is disconnected again in a year the same four digits will unlock it. It is worth writing it down and keeping it with the service book.
