Your code in three steps
Everything runs from the serial number on the radio's own label.
- 1 Read the number on the label It is printed on the unit's own label, usually near the barcode. A pair of release keys slide the radio out far enough to read it.
- 2 Put it in the form on the left Exactly as printed, no spaces. The format is checked before you pay.
- 3 Your code lands in seconds The code is on screen in seconds 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.
Your radio carries a label like this one. The serial is the code printed on it.

Identify Your Factory Radio
Line up the design, controls, display and features listed below with your factory-installed radio - the Chrysler RET Alpine is easy to tell apart once you know what to look for.
What the Chrysler RET Alpine looks like:
- 6.5" touchscreen in the centre of the dash
- RET printed on the factory label
- A serial that begins with TQ1AA, TT1AA, TH1AA, THAAA, TCAAA
You most likely have the Chrysler RET Alpine if:
- the chassis label carries the RET sales code
- the label serial begins with TQ1AA, TT1AA, TH1AA, THAAA, TCAAA
- the vehicle was built between 2009-2013
- the 6.5" touchscreen is the one the Alpine family uses
RET is uncommon. The chassis part number is the deciding signal - RET carries the P05064055 and P05064127 prefixes. If your part number begins with P05064053 you have REL, not RET. Always confirm the part number against this page before purchasing.
Overview of the Chrysler RET Alpine
Fitted as original equipment in selected Chrysler models, the Chrysler RET Alpine handles audio playback and vehicle integration out of the box. Depending on the version, it can also add Bluetooth, touchscreen operation, CD/DVD playback, navigation or wider multimedia support.
RET Alpine is a lower-volume Alpine-audio MyGIG variant sharing the 6.5-inch HDD-nav touchscreen platform with REL/REQ but carrying its own service-parts line. Typically fitted to specific export and option-code combinations through 2013.
Chrysler used the Chrysler RET Alpine on selected models produced between 2009-2013, typically alongside the Alpine multimedia platform. It is one of the factory units most often encountered from that era.
Features you may find on the Chrysler RET Alpine:
6.5" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Hard-drive music storage for copied discs
CD playback
AUX and USB input*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability depends on the vehicle specification.
Like many factory-installed radios, the Chrysler RET Alpine is protected by an anti-theft system. If power is interrupted after replacing or disconnecting the vehicle battery, the unit may request the original radio code before it can be used again.
Background on the platform itself is published by Alps Alpine, the unit's manufacturer.
Finding the Serial Number on the Chrysler RET Alpine
The code is calculated from the radio's own serial number, so that number is the only thing you need before ordering. It is printed on the chassis label of the unit itself, not in the vehicle documents.
Where exactly: Top of the chassis label, near the rear edge. Radio removal is required - the lock-state UI does not expose the serial on screen. Two T20 Torx on the side rails on most applications.
Getting to the label:
- Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in a minute and nothing needs disconnecting.
- The serial is on the chassis label, usually right next to the barcode - copy it down.
- Copy it into the form precisely as printed; the checker catches any typo before payment.

How Owners End Up on This Page
The lock screen almost never appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind nearly every locked Chrysler RET Alpine we see.
A battery swap
A replacement battery - or a flat one after the car stood over winter - cuts power to the radio, and the anti-theft system arms itself the moment power returns.
A different unit is in the dash now
Swapping in a second-hand radio means a new serial and therefore a new code - the one from the old unit cannot work.
After mechanical work
The repair worked - 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 routinely 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.
The route back to a working radio is the same in every case: serial number in, original code out, within seconds.

The part number is printed on the sticker on top of or on the side of the radio chassis, usually next to the serial number. If yours appears above, the Chrysler RET Alpine is the correct page.
Models Featuring the Chrysler RET Alpine
| Vehicle Model | Typical Production Years | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chrysler 300C, Town & Country (specific option-code premium trims) | 2009-2013 | |
| Dodge Durango, Journey (specific Alpine-audio builds) | 2009-2013 | |
| Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2, Wrangler JK (limited Alpine builds) | 2009-2013 |
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
Nothing to install and no tools needed - just the four digits.
- Switch the ignition on and let the radio boot to its security screen.
- The code prompt comes up with its own keypad.
- Enter the four digits in the order you received them.
- As soon as the last digit lands, the radio runs the check on its own.
- On a correct code the radio leaves security mode and plays again.
Common problems
The unit will not take more codes
Wrong codes put the unit into a lockout, and the only fix is to leave it powered and wait. Three wrong codes triggers a 60-minute "WAIT" countdown. Keep ignition in RUN or ACC while the timer runs.
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 label, near the rear edge. Radio removal is required - the lock-state UI does not expose the serial on screen. Two T20 Torx on the side rails on most applications.
The radio locked itself again
Expected behaviour: the security system trips again whenever power is cut. Loss of constant 12V - battery disconnect, dead battery, or radio removal.
Same face, different radio
One glance at the label removes the doubt - worth doing before the order. RET is uncommon. The chassis part number is the deciding signal - RET carries the P05064055 and P05064127 prefixes. If your part number begins with P05064053 you have REL, not RET. Always confirm the part number against this page before purchasing.
The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.
