What you have to do
Everything runs from the serial number printed on the radio itself.
- 1 Check the radio label Look for it on the sticker on the housing. The radio normally has to come forward a little - the wiring can stay plugged in.
- 2 Type it in the form Letters and digits as they appear on the label - the form validates them first.
- 3 Your code arrives in seconds Payment done, code displayed on screen and emailed. It works for the life of the unit, so hold on to it.
Covered by a full refund if the code turns out not to fit your unit.

How to Recognize the Chrysler REC Alpine
Compare the design, controls, display and features listed below with your factory-installed radio - the Chrysler REC Alpine is easy to identify once you know what to look for.
Visual signs on this unit:
- Centre-stack 6.5" touchscreen
- Built-in navigation with factory map data
- Sales code REC on the chassis label
- Label serial opening with TQ1AA, TT1AA, TH1AA, THAAA, TCAAA
You most likely have the Chrysler REC Alpine if:
- the factory label reads REC
- the printed serial opens with TQ1AA, TT1AA, TH1AA, THAAA, TCAAA
- the car left the factory between 2007-2010
- the display matches the Alpine 6.5" touchscreen
REC and Harman RER look identical on the screen. The chassis label and part number are the deciding signal - REC carries P05064184 and P56038646 prefixes (Alpine build) rather than the Harman RER part numbers. If your speakers are badged "Alpine" you almost certainly have REC.
What Is the Chrysler REC Alpine Radio?
The Chrysler REC Alpine is an original factory-installed head unit developed for selected Chrysler vehicles. Designed to provide reliable audio playback and vehicle integration, this unit may also offer Bluetooth connectivity, touchscreen controls, CD/DVD playback, navigation or multimedia support, depending on the specific version.
REC Alpine is the Alpine-audio variant of the early MyGIG navigation head unit - 6.5-inch touchscreen, HDD-based maps, paired with the Alpine premium amplifier package from the factory. The chassis is Alpine-built rather than Harman-built; the audio stage tunes differently above 8 kHz.
Between 2007-2010 the Chrysler REC Alpine appeared across a number of Chrysler models, usually on vehicles using the Alpine multimedia platform. It stayed in production long enough to become a familiar sight in that generation of cars.
Features you may find on the Chrysler REC Alpine:
6.5" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Factory navigation with on-board maps
Internal hard drive for ripped music
CD playback
AUX and USB input*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability varies with the vehicle configuration.
The Chrysler REC Alpine 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 plays again.
Platform details and official documentation are available from Alps Alpine, the unit's manufacturer.
Step One: The Serial Number
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 stuck to the chassis of the radio itself.
On this unit: White printed sticker on the top of the chassis, near the rear-right corner. The radio must be pulled from the dash; the touchscreen has no lock-state menu that exposes the serial. Three 7mm bolts and two trim clips on most applications.
Getting to the label:
- Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in seconds and nothing needs disconnecting.
- Read the serial from the printed label on the housing, next to or under the barcode.
- Type it into the form exactly as printed, without spaces.

The Situations That Lock a Chrysler REC Alpine
Nearly all of the Chrysler REC Alpine codes we generate follow one of these four events.
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 - expected, not a fault.
A unit from a donor car
A radio from a breaker or an online sale comes with its own serial, so it needs its own code - read the label on the unit you fitted.
A used car with a locked radio
Second and third owners rarely get the code card. The radio itself still carries everything needed - its serial number.
A battery change
The most common trigger by far: the moment the battery is disconnected, the radio forgets it was ever unlocked and asks for its code on the next start.
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 arrives in seconds.

Where Was the Chrysler REC Alpine Installed?

The vehicles listed above are the most common factory applications for the Chrysler REC Alpine. Equipment packages and regional specifications vary, so verify the radio using its design, serial number or part number before requesting a code.
Once the code arrives
The code goes into the unit itself, not into the car's menus.
- Turn the ignition on so the radio powers up and shows the locked screen.
- A keypad for the code fills the middle of the screen.
- Tap the four digits of your code in order.
- There is no separate OK button - the radio checks the code on the last tap.
- A correct code clears the lock screen and the audio comes straight back.
When it does not go to plan
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 displays "WAIT" with a 60-minute timer. Keep the ignition in RUN or ACC so the timer counts down - cutting power restarts it. The unit cannot be permanently locked; the correct code clears it once the timer expires.
The label is not where I expected
Only the radio itself carries it - slide the unit forward and the label is right there. White printed sticker on the top of the chassis, near the rear-right corner. The radio must be pulled from the dash; the touchscreen has no lock-state menu that exposes the serial. Three 7mm bolts and two trim clips on most applications.
Locked again after it was fine
Nothing is broken. Any interruption to the 12V supply brings the lock screen back. Loss of 12V power for more than about a minute - dead battery, battery replacement, alternator work, or pulling the radio.
Making sure it is the right unit
The differences are easy to miss, so check this before ordering. REC and Harman RER look identical on the screen. The chassis label and part number are the deciding signal - REC carries P05064184 and P56038646 prefixes (Alpine build) rather than the Harman RER part numbers. If your speakers are badged "Alpine" you almost certainly have REC.
Write the code down - the same four digits work for the life of the unit.
