Check for:
• A small card labeled "Radio Anti-Theft Code"
• May include the 4 or 5-digit code pre-printed
• Often stapled to or inserted in the owner's manual
If you can't find the card (very common in used vehicles), our service can retrieve your code using the radio serial number for just $19.99 .
Our service automatically determines the correct length based on your specific serial number. You'll receive the exact code format that matches your radio.

Key differences:
• RHA: Basic media center with CD/MP3, no touchscreen
• Uconnect: Advanced touchscreen infotainment system (2013+)
• RHA uses Continental hardware
• Uconnect uses Panasonic, Harman, or other manufacturers
Both systems require anti-theft codes, but they use different serial number formats and code generation algorithms.
Starting in 2012, all RHA radios require an anti-theft code when swapped between vehicles. The code is permanently tied to the radio's serial number, not the vehicle.
Swap process:
1. Remove radio from donor vehicle
2. Record the serial number from the label
3. Obtain unlock code for that serial number
4. Install in new vehicle
5. Enter unlock code when prompted
Ensure electrical compatibility between vehicle models before attempting a radio swap.
