No touchscreen. If your radio has a colour touchscreen of any size, you have Uconnect 4.3 or higher, not RA1 VP1.

Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Pull the radio - DIN release keys or two T20 Torx side rails depending on dash. Nothing else is required - the serial (it starts with TQN, TVPQN, A2C, A3C) alone produces the code.

How it works

Everything runs from the serial number printed on the radio itself.

  1. 1 Get the serial off the radio On the factory sticker on the radio housing, next to the barcode. Most units have to come out of the dash - release keys cost a few dollars.
  2. 2 Put it in the form on the left Just the serial and your email. The format check runs before the payment step.
  3. 3 Get the code The code is on screen straight away and in your inbox. It never expires and keeps working every time power is cut.

If it does not work, you get your money back.

Overview of the Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1

The Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1 is a dealer-installed Chrysler audio and multimedia unit. Alongside standard radio and audio playback it may include touchscreen controls, Bluetooth, CD/DVD playback or factory navigation, depending on how the vehicle left the factory.

Continental Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1 is the base 5-inch non-touchscreen Uconnect with monochrome display, hard buttons and rotary tune knob - the lowest Uconnect tier. AM/FM, SiriusXM, Bluetooth phone audio, USB, but no touchscreen and no built-in maps.

The Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1 was installed in various Chrysler models between 2013-2018. It was commonly fitted to vehicles built on the Continental multimedia platform and remains one of the more recognisable factory radios of that period.

Common features on this unit:

3.0" touchscreen

AM/FM radio

Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming

USB media playback

SiriusXM satellite radio*

Steering wheel control support

Anti-theft security code

*Availability varies with the vehicle specification.

The Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1 carries the same anti-theft protection as most factory units. Once power is cut - a flat battery, a battery swap, or the radio being removed - it will ask for the original code before it comes back to life.

Background on the platform itself is published by the official Uconnect site.

Your Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1 Serial Number - Where to Look

Your unlock code is tied to the radio's serial number, so it is the one detail the form asks for. The number lives on the label printed on the housing of the radio itself.

Where exactly: Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Pull the radio - DIN release keys or two T20 Torx side rails depending on dash.

How to reach the number:

  1. Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in seconds and nothing needs disconnecting.
  2. Read the serial from the printed label on the housing, next to or under the barcode.
  3. Copy it into the form precisely as printed; the checker catches any typo before payment.
Expected format: TQN or TVPQN plus 9 further characters; A2C plus 16 further characters; A3C plus 13 further characters.

The Situations That Lock a Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1

Nearly all of the Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1 codes we generate follow one of these four events.

A battery change

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

After electrical work

The repair went fine - the locked radio is just the side effect of the battery being off the car for a while.

The previous owner had no code

Used cars very often arrive with a locked radio and no code card in the glovebox. The serial number on the unit is all that is needed to recover it.

A different unit is in the dash now

Replacement radios are the textbook case: every unit has its own code tied to its own serial. Read the serial off the newly fitted radio and order for that one.

All four roads lead to the same fix - read the serial off the unit, enter it above, and the original code comes back instantly.

Find Your Part Number 42

These are the OEM references this page covers. If the number on your radio's label is in the list, we can retrieve your code.

The 42 references boil down to 15 base numbers - the trailing letters (AA, AB, ZC and so on) are hardware revisions of the same unit, and every revision is supported.

You will find the part number on the factory sticker of the unit, normally alongside the serial. A match in this list confirms you are on the right page for the Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1.

Vehicles Equipped with the Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1

Vehicle Model Typical Production Years Notes
Chrysler 200, 300 (base trims) 2013-2018
Dodge Dart, Journey, Grand Caravan (base trims) 2013-2018
Jeep Cherokee KL, Compass, Patriot, Renegade BU, Wrangler JK (base trims) 2013-2018
Ram 1500/2500/3500 (base trims) 2013-2018
Fiat 500L (NAFTA base) 2013-2018

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

Entering the code on the Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1

Nothing to install and no tools needed - only the code itself.

  1. Switch the ignition on so the radio powers up and shows the code prompt.
  2. Use preset buttons 1-4 to enter the four digits, then press OK or the tuning knob. Some builds let you spin the tuning knob and press it to confirm each digit instead.
  3. On the correct code the lock clears and the radio plays again straight away.

Troubleshooting the Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1

The radio is counting down

A countdown means the anti-theft system is holding the unit. Leave the ignition on until it clears. Three wrong codes shows "WAIT" on the monochrome display with a 30-minute countdown. Keep ignition on for the timer to run.

Where the number actually is

The serial is on the unit itself, not in the vehicle papers or on the dashboard. Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Pull the radio - DIN release keys or two T20 Torx side rails depending on dash.

The radio locked itself again

Expected behaviour: the security system trips again whenever power is cut. Battery disconnect, dead battery, or radio removal.

This radio looks like several others

A few models in this family share the same face, so the label is what settles it. No touchscreen. If your radio has a colour touchscreen of any size, you have Uconnect 4.3 or higher, not RA1 VP1.

Save the code: it stays valid, so the next battery change costs you nothing.

Before You Order - Common Questions

No, and any service that claims otherwise is guessing. The serial is the only input the algorithm has - with no serial there is simply nothing to work from.

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

No. The code for the Uconnect 3.0 RA1 VP1 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.

You get your money back. Send us a short video showing the serial number and the code being entered, and we refund the order in full - no argument, no restocking fee.

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 - there is no need to unplug anything.

Yes, and it is the smart move: order while the timer runs down, and by the time the radio accepts input again the code is waiting in your email. The lockout only blocks code ENTRY, not code retrieval.
