Panasonic Uconnect 8.4 UGQ Unlock Code - Instant Unlock Service
Battery Died and Radio Won't Turn On? Here's What Happened
Your situation: You replaced the battery, jumped your dead battery, or disconnected the battery for maintenance. Now your 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen shows "Enter Anti-Theft Code" or "Security Code Required" and the radio won't work.
Why this happens: The Panasonic Uconnect 8.4 UGQ has anti-theft protection. When power is cut (dead battery, disconnect, jump-start), the system locks automatically. It needs a 4-digit unlock code unique to your radio's serial number to work again. This prevents stolen radios from being used.
⚡ TRY THIS FIRST - May Unlock Automatically (Works 30-40% of Time):
- Start your engine completely (not just ACC) - let it run for 2-3 minutes
- Turn off ignition, remove key, wait 30 seconds
- Lock the vehicle with key fob, wait 2 minutes
- Unlock and start again - radio may auto-unlock if it recognizes the VIN over CAN-bus
Why this works: On 2016+ models, if the original radio is still installed, it reads the VIN from the vehicle's computer and may unlock automatically. Doesn't work if radio was swapped or in 2013-2015 older models.
If Auto-Unlock Didn't Work - You Need the 4-Digit Code
The unlock code for Uconnect 8.4 UGQ is a unique 4-digit PIN (example: 1234, 5927, etc.) factory-programmed to your radio's TM9 serial number. Each radio has a different code. You CANNOT use someone else's code, even if they have the same vehicle.
Fast solution: Our instant service delivers your code in seconds for $9.99. Dealer charges $120-150 and takes 1-3 days. You just need the serial number (we'll show you 3 easy ways to find it below).

Why You Need an Anti-Theft Code for Uconnect 8.4 UGQ
Your Panasonic Uconnect 8.4 UGQ infotainment system activates the anti-theft security code protection in these common scenarios:
- Battery replacement or disconnection during vehicle maintenance or jump-start procedures
- Radio or infotainment unit removal for repairs, upgrades, or dashboard work
- Dead battery requiring recharge or replacement
- Purchasing a used Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM vehicle without original unlock code documentation
- Electrical system repairs affecting the infotainment circuit or fuse box
- Radio reset triggered by power surges or system glitches
⚠️ Lockout Warning:
You typically have 3-10 attempts to enter the correct 4-digit code. Exceeding the allowed attempts may result in permanent lockout, requiring dealer intervention. Always verify your code before entry.
UGQ-Specific: Why This Model Locks More Often
The Uconnect 8.4 UGQ is one of the most common Uconnect models (2013-2021 Charger, Challenger, Durango, 300). It's also the model MOST LIKELY to lock after battery issues because:
- High-performance vehicles (Hellcat, SRT, Scat Pack) drain batteries faster during storage
- Used market popularity means many owners don't have original code cards
- 2013-2015 models have older firmware that rarely auto-unlocks (under 20% success rate)
Finding Your UGQ Serial Number - 3 Quick Methods
Method 1: Button Shortcut (Works 65% of Time)
UGQ-specific trick that works better than other models:
- Turn ignition to ACC or ON
- Press and HOLD radio preset buttons 1 + 6 together for 5 seconds
- Serial displays on screen starting with TM9
- If 1+6 doesn't work, try 2 + 5 (varies by year)
This works on 65% of UGQ models - highest success rate of all Panasonic variants!
Method 2: Settings Menu (2016+ Models)
On touchscreen: Settings → System → About → Radio Serial. Look for TM9 prefix (13 digits). Screenshot with phone.
Method 3: Check for Code Card
Small white card in owner's manual sleeve or glove box. Says "Unlock Code: XXXX" and "Serial: TM9XXXXXXXXXX". If you have this card, skip to code entry below!
UGQ Code Entry: Known Issues & Quirks
UGQ-Specific Problem: "Code Accepted" But Radio Still Locked
Unique to UGQ models (especially 2015-2017): Sometimes the screen says "Code Accepted" or "OK" but radio doesn't unlock. This happens when:
- Fix: After entering code, turn ignition completely OFF, wait 30 seconds, then turn back ON. Radio should now work.
- Why it happens: UGQ firmware bug that doesn't finalize unlock until power cycle
- Affects: About 15% of 2015-2017 UGQ models (fixed in 2018+ firmware)
How to Enter Your Uconnect 8.4 UGQ Unlock Code (Step-by-Step)
Once you have your 4-digit code (from card, our service, or dealer), here's exactly how to unlock:
- Turn ignition to RUN or ACC (engine can be off or running, doesn't matter)
- Screen will show: "Enter Anti-Theft Code" or "Security Code Required" or "CODE" with 4 blank spaces
- Touchscreen models (most common): Touch the on-screen number pad and tap each digit
Button models (rare): Press preset buttons 1-4 corresponding to each code digit - Example: If code is 5927, enter: 5, then 9, then 2, then 7
- DOUBLE-CHECK before confirming - you only get 3-10 attempts (see warning below)
- Press "OK", "Submit", or "Enter" on screen
- Radio unlocks immediately - all features (radio, navigation, Bluetooth, CarPlay) work normally
🚨 CRITICAL: WAIT State Lockout (Read Before Entering Code!)
If you enter 3 WRONG codes in a row, your radio enters "WAIT" mode:
- Screen shows: "WAIT" or "Too Many Attempts - Wait" or "Radio Locked - Contact Dealer"
- What it means: Radio is locked for 30-60 minutes of continuous power
- How to recover (Option 1): Keep ignition ON for full 30 minutes straight (don't turn off!) - radio will unlock and give you 3 more tries
- How to recover (Option 2): Disconnect battery for 30+ minutes, reconnect - gives you 3 more tries (works 60% of time)
- After 10+ failed attempts total: Radio may permanently lock - requires dealer reset ($120-180)
⚠️ VERIFY YOUR CODE BEFORE ENTRY! If unsure, double-check serial number or contact us before trying.

How is the UGQ code different from other 8.4-inch Uconnect codes?
The Uconnect 8.4 UGQ unlock code uses a specific algorithm tied to the UGQ part number series. While all 8.4-inch Panasonic systems look similar, each variant (UGQ, UAC, ULV, UMQ, etc.) has its own unique code generation algorithm based on the serial number. Example: A 2018 Durango with part# 68283243AE (UGQ) needs a UGQ-specific code. The same serial in a different part number variant won't work. Always verify your exact part number before ordering.
What if I installed a used radio from another vehicle?
This is common on forum threads. Here's what happens: When you install a used Uconnect 8.4 UGQ from a junkyard, auction, or eBay, it immediately asks for the unlock code on first power-up. You don't need the donor vehicle's VIN - just the serial number from the radio itself (which you can see on the label when installing it). Some dealers falsely claim you need the original VIN, but our service proves otherwise - we generate codes using only the TM9 serial number. Thousands of users have successfully unlocked "junkyard radios" this way.
Common Error Messages & What They Mean:
- "Enter Anti-Theft Code" - Standard lockout. You have 10 attempts on most 2015+ models.
- "Incorrect Code - X Attempts Remaining" - Self-explanatory. Stop and verify your code!
- "Radio Locked - Contact Dealer" - You've exceeded attempts. Dealer can reset for $120-180, OR disconnect battery for 30+ minutes (works on 60% of cases to get 3 more tries).
- "Security Code Required - See Manual" - Same as "Enter Anti-Theft Code", just different wording on 2013-2014 models.
Can I find my code in the owner's manual or glove box?
Some vehicles include a unlock code card in the owner's manual packet or glove box documentation. Check for a small card labeled "Radio Anti-Theft Code" or "Security Code" with a 4-digit PIN. If not found, our instant online service is the fastest recovery method.
Why does my Uconnect 8.4 need an anti-theft code?
The anti-theft security system prevents radio theft by rendering the unit useless without the correct PIN. This factory-installed protection activates automatically when power is disconnected, making stolen radios worthless to thieves. It's a standard security feature on all Panasonic Uconnect systems.
How long does code delivery take?
Your Panasonic Uconnect 8.4 UGQ unlock code is delivered instantly - appearing on your screen within seconds of purchase. The code is also emailed immediately for permanent record keeping. Our automated system operates 24/7 with no waiting.
Do I need to provide my vehicle's VIN number?
No VIN required! For Uconnect 8.4 UGQ unlock codes, we only need the serial number from your radio's label (starting with TM9). This makes our service faster and works even if you don't have vehicle registration documents.
What's the difference between dealer codes and your service?
Dealers charge $120-150 and require 1-3 business days for Uconnect unlock codes, often demanding VIN verification and in-person appointments. Our service costs $9.99, delivers instantly 24/7, requires only the serial number, and includes a money-back guarantee. Same factory-original codes, 12x cheaper and 100x faster.
What if my code doesn't work?
We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If your Panasonic Uconnect 8.4 UGQ code doesn't unlock your system, contact us with a photo or video showing the serial number label and code entry screen. We'll investigate immediately and provide a full refund if the code is incompatible.
