How it works
The entire thing needs one piece of information and two minutes of your time.
- 1 Read the number on the 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 into the box Enter the full serial with your email address. A format check flags mistakes before checkout.
- 3 Receive the radio code The code is delivered instantly, day or night. Enter it on the radio and the anti-theft screen goes away.
Money-back guarantee if the code does not open your radio.

Is This Your Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT?
Before ordering a radio code it is important to confirm the exact model. Compare the design, controls, display and features below with the unit in your dashboard.
How to spot it:
- Centre-stack 5" touchscreen
- No navigation tile on the home screen - no maps installed
- Sales code VP2_5 DT on the chassis label
- A serial that begins with T0MYD
Your radio is the Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT if:
- VP2_5 DT appears as the sales code on the label
- the serial on the label starts with T0MYD
- the build year falls inside 2019-2023
- the screen is the 5" touchscreen fitted to the Uconnect 5
DT is the Ram 1500 platform code. If your screen is 8.4 or 12 inches and dominates the centre stack, you have a higher Uconnect tier (UJM 8.4 or the larger 12-inch unit) - not this 5-inch base unit. If your truck is a JT Gladiator, the radio is the UAA variant instead.
How to Read the Serial Number Off Your Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT
Every Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT has a unique serial number, and the unlock code is derived 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.
Where exactly: Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Pull the radio - the 5-inch unit has no on-screen serial display while locked. The DT centre stack uses plastic clips on the bezel and four mounting bolts behind it.
Three steps to the serial number:
- Pull the unit forward with release keys (a few dollars online) - the wiring can stay connected.
- Find the white label on the housing and read the serial off it - it sits beside the barcode.
- Enter it exactly as it appears - no spaces, no dashes.

Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT Overview
The Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT is a dealer-installed Chrysler audio and multimedia unit. Alongside standard radio and audio playback it may include touchscreen controls, Bluetooth, CD/DVD playback or factory navigation, depending on how the vehicle left the factory.
Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2.5 DT is the 5-inch base touchscreen head unit fitted to the fifth-generation Ram 1500 DT truck. Small 5-inch screen sitting in the upper centre stack, four-tile home screen (Radio, Media, Phone, More), no built-in maps, no NAV tile.
Chrysler used the Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT on selected models produced between 2019-2023, typically alongside the Aptiv multimedia platform. It is one of the factory units most often encountered from that era.
Typical features include:
5" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Hands-free Bluetooth with audio streaming
Media playback over USB
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability depends on the vehicle specification.
As with other Aptiv factory units, the Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT locks itself when power is lost. After a battery disconnect or a workshop visit the screen will prompt for the original security code before any audio returns.
Platform details and official documentation are available from Aptiv, the unit's manufacturer.
What Usually Triggers the Code Screen
The lock screen rarely appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind nearly every locked Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT we see.
The seller had no code
Used cars very often 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.
After electrical work
The repair worked - the locked radio is just the side effect of the battery being off the car for a while.
A different unit is in the dash now
A radio from a scrapyard or an online sale comes with its own serial, so it needs its own code - read the label on the unit you fitted.
A battery change
Whether the battery was replaced or just ran flat, the radio sees a power loss and asks for the code when it starts.
All four roads lead to the same fix - read the serial off the unit, enter it above, and the original code comes back instantly.

Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT Vehicle Compatibility
| Vehicle Model | Typical Production Years | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ram 1500 DT (Tradesman, Big Horn, Lone Star with base radio) | 2019-2023 | |
| Ram 1500 Classic (carry-over base trims sharing the DT radio harness) | 2019-2023 |
Vehicle compatibility can differ 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.
Once the code arrives
Nothing to install and no tools needed - just 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.
Troubleshooting the Aptiv Uconnect 5 VP2_5 DT
Locked after a winch or accessory install
Ram DT trucks with auxiliary upfitter wiring often lose radio power while a winch, light bar or trailer module is fitted. That arms the anti-theft lock - enter the code once and it stays unlocked until power is cut again.
INCORRECT CODE - WAIT after three tries
The radio makes you wait 30 minutes. Keep 12V on the radio (ignition in RUN or ACC) until the timer ends, then enter the code again carefully.
Save the code: it stays valid, so the next battery change costs you nothing.
