How to Get the Serial Number From Your Radio

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.

On the Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS: White label on the top of the chassis near the rear edge. Pull the radio from the dash.

How to reach the number:

  1. Ease the radio out of the dash - most units need a pair of release keys, which cost very little online.
  2. Read the serial from the factory sticker on the housing, beside the barcode.
  3. Type it into the form exactly as printed, with no spaces or dashes.
Expected format: TQN or TVPQN followed by 9 more characters; A2C followed by 16 more characters; A3C followed by 13 more characters.

Typical Ways a Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS Gets Locked

The lock screen almost never appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind almost every locked Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS we see.

You swapped the radio itself

Replacement radios are the classic 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.

The battery was replaced

The most common trigger by far: the moment the battery is swapped, the radio forgets it was ever unlocked and asks for its code on the next start.

The code card is long gone

The code card that shipped with the car went missing an owner or two ago. That is not a problem - the code is generated from the radio's serial, not from any paperwork.

The car was in the garage

Any repair that touches the 12V supply - even briefly - is enough to bring up the code screen on the next start.

The route back to a working radio is the same in every case: serial number in, original code out, in seconds.

Where Was the Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS Installed?

Vehicle Model Typical Production Years Notes
Chrysler 300, Pacifica (NA, mid trims) 2017-2021
Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango (NA, mid trims) 2017-2021
Jeep Cherokee KL refresh, Compass MP, Renegade BU, Wrangler JL (NA, mid trims) 2017-2021

Some vehicle models were available with more than one factory radio depending on trim level, production year or regional market. Always confirm your radio model before ordering a code.

Supported Factory Identifiers 12

All of the part numbers listed here are supported. Match the one printed on your unit's label and you are in the right place.

The 12 references come down to 3 base numbers - the trailing letters (AA, AB, ZC and so on) are factory 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 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS.

Putting the code into the radio

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

  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 normal.

Things that can catch you out

The screen shows a wait timer

The timer is the radio protecting itself after failed entries - power on, patience, then try again. 30-minute WAIT after three wrong codes.

The label is not where I expected

Only the radio itself carries it - bring the unit out and the label is right there. White label on the top of the chassis near the rear edge. Pull the radio from the dash.

Locked again after it was fine

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

I am not sure I have the right variant

Close relatives of this unit look almost identical from the driver's seat. SDARS suffix means SiriusXM satellite radio is fitted - distinguishes this from the non-SDARS UAG UCG VP2RFP sibling. NAFTA variant; EU equivalent is UGG VP2RFP.

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

Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS Radio Code - Questions and Answers

Yes, and it is worth doing: order while the timer runs down, and by the time the radio accepts input again the code is already in your inbox. The lockout only blocks code ENTRY, not code retrieval.

No, and any service that claims otherwise is guessing. The serial is the only input the algorithm has - without it there is nothing to calculate the code from.

It is. The code is generated with the manufacturer's own algorithm from your serial number, so it is identical to what the dealer would give you - the difference is the price and the fact that you do not have to book an appointment.

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.

The code is generated automatically as soon as the payment goes through, so it appears on screen in a few seconds and lands in your inbox at the same time. The service runs day and night, so there is no queue and no waiting for office hours.

No. The code for the Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS 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.
