- the label serial begins with TM9
- the vehicle was built between 2017-2020
- the screen is the 8.4" touchscreen fitted to the Uconnect 8.4

What Is the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV Radio?
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV is a factory-fitted Chrysler audio and multimedia unit. Alongside everyday radio and audio playback it may include touchscreen controls, Bluetooth, CD/DVD playback or factory navigation, depending on how the vehicle left the factory.
Uconnect 8.4 UKV is the Japan-market Panasonic 8.4-inch navigation head unit - Japanese UI, JIS-compliant DAB tuner, Japan-specific map data, NAV tile on the home screen.
Between 2017-2020 the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV appeared across a number of Chrysler models, usually on vehicles using the Panasonic multimedia platform. It stayed in production long enough to become a common sight in that generation of cars.
Common features on this unit:
8.4" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Navigation built in, with factory map data
Hands-free Bluetooth with audio streaming
Media playback over USB
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability varies with the vehicle configuration.
As with other Panasonic factory units, the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV locks itself when power is lost. After a battery disconnect or a workshop visit the screen will ask for the original security code before any audio returns.
For the manufacturer's own documentation of this platform, see the official Uconnect site.
Locating the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV Serial Number
Every Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV has a unique serial number, and the unlock code is worked out from it. You will find that number on the unit's own label - it is not in the service book and not on the dashboard.
On this unit: Chassis top label.
Getting to the label:
- Ease the radio out of the dash - most units need a pair of release keys, which cost very little online.
- The serial is on the chassis sticker, usually right next to the barcode - copy it down.
- Copy it into the form letter for letter; the checker catches any typo before payment.

Typical Ways a Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV Gets Locked
The lock screen almost never appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind nearly every locked Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKV we see.
The battery was disconnected
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.
Back from the mechanic, radio locked
Mechanics often disconnect the battery before electrical work. The car comes back fixed and the radio comes back locked - normal, not a fault.
A unit from a donor car
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.
A used car with a locked radio
Second and third owners almost never 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.
Supported OEM References 14
Every reference below is handled by this service. Find yours on the chassis label of the radio to confirm you are on the right page.
Do not worry about the trailing letters: the 14 numbers span 4 base references, and the letter suffixes only mark factory revisions - the code works across all of them.

Vehicle compatibility can vary 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.
Putting the code into the radio
It takes less than a minute once you have the four digits.
- Give the radio power - key to accessory is enough - and wait for the code prompt.
- The screen shows a numeric keypad for the four digits.
- Punch in all four digits, first to last.
- Verification happens by itself once the fourth digit is in.
- The security screen disappears and the unit returns to normal operation.
Things that can catch you out
The screen shows a wait timer
The timer is the radio guarding itself after failed entries - power on, patience, then try again. 30-minute "INCORRECT CODE - WAIT" timer after three wrong attempts.
The serial is hiding from you
Nothing on the car's menus shows it - the number lives on the radio's own label. Chassis top label.
It is asking for the code a second time
By design, every loss of power re-arms the anti-theft lock. Battery service.
This radio looks like several others
A few models in this family share the same face, so the label is what settles it. Japan-only nav. If your maps cover Europe or North America, you have UGV/UAV/UCV rather than UKV. Lowest-volume regional variant.
Save the code: it stays valid, so the next battery change costs you nothing.
