Your code in three steps
One number, three steps, about two minutes.
- 1 Find the serial number On the printed label on the radio housing, beside the barcode. Most units have to come out of the dash - release keys cost a few dollars.
- 2 Put it in the form on the left Just the serial and your email. The format check runs before the payment step.
- 3 Unlock the radio The code appears the moment the payment clears, and a copy goes to your email. Keep it - the same four digits work for the life of the radio.
If it does not work, you are refunded in full.
Same label, different radio: yours carries its own serial in this spot.

Check If This Is Your Radio
Line up the design, controls, display and features listed below with your factory-installed radio - the CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA is easy to tell apart once you know what to look for.
Typical identification features:
- Uconnect touchscreen mounted high in the centre stack
- Fiat-platform dash surround (Renegade / 500X)
- Chassis label with a P6GE or P6ZH part number
- Serial number beginning TQN, TVPQN, A2C or A3C
- NAFTA market build - menus in English and Spanish
You most likely have the CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA if:
- the chassis label shows a P6GE01LXF, P6GE02LXF, P6GE03LXF or P6ZH48LXF part number
- the serial on the label starts with TQN, TVPQN, A2C or A3C
- the car is a North American Jeep Renegade or a late Fiat 500X
- the head unit is a touchscreen Uconnect, not a knob-and-button cassette-style radio
- the label reads 637R rather than plain 637 - the 637 NAFTA COMPASS variant is a different unit
The 637R is the revised Fiat-platform NAFTA unit. The plain 637 NAFTA COMPASS variant is Compass-specific; the 637R covers Renegade and 500X NAFTA builds.
Overview of the CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA
The CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA is a factory-fitted 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.
The 637R is the revised NAFTA version of the Fiat-platform Continental VP2 head unit, identified by its P6GE and P6ZH part-number ranges. The "R" suffix marks a hardware revision over the base 637, and the unit was built for the North American market (USA, Canada and Mexico).
The CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA was installed in various Chrysler models between 2017-2021. It was commonly fitted to vehicles built on the Continental multimedia platform and is still one of the more recognisable factory radios of that period.
Common features on this unit:
Uconnect touchscreen interface
AM/FM radio
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming
USB media playback
Rear-camera input*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability depends on the vehicle specification.
As with other Continental factory units, the CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA 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.

How to Read the Serial Number Off Your CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA
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.
Where exactly: Top of the chassis, white printed sticker near the back-right corner. Radio must come out.
Getting to the label:
- Slide the radio out of the dash - most units need a pair of release keys, which cost very little online.
- Read the serial from the factory sticker on the housing, beside the barcode.
- Enter it exactly as it appears - no spaces, no dashes.
The sticker that carries the serial
When Does the CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA Ask for Its Code?
A locked CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA is almost always the result of one of four everyday situations, none of which mean anything is broken.
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 used unit from a donor car always arrives locked, and the code from your old radio will not fit - the code follows each radio's own serial number, so order it for the serial on the REPLACEMENT unit.
A battery swap
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.
The previous owner 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.
The route back to a working radio is the same in every case: serial number in, original code out, in seconds.

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.

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 CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 637R NAFTA is the right page.
Putting the code into the radio
Nothing to install and no tools needed - just the four digits.
- Switch the ignition on so the radio powers up and displays the locked screen.
- A four-digit numeric keypad appears on the touchscreen.
- Tap the four digits of your code in order.
- The unit verifies automatically on the fourth digit - there is no separate confirm button.
- On a correct code the radio leaves security mode and resumes normal operation immediately.
If something goes wrong
The radio is still locked after entering the code
Check all four digits were tapped in the right order. After three wrong attempts the unit starts a 30-minute wait timer, so leave it powered and try again once the countdown finishes.
I cannot find the serial number
The serial label sits on top of the chassis, near the back-right corner, and is not visible with the radio in the dash. Release keys (a few dollars online) let you slide the unit forward far enough to read the label - there is no need to disconnect the wiring.
I gave the wrong serial number when ordering
Contact support with your order details and the correct serial and we will issue a new code. Continental serials on this unit start with TQN, TVPQN, A2C or A3C, so double-check the first characters against the label.
The radio locked itself again after working fine
That is expected behaviour. The VP2 anti-theft system re-arms every time power is interrupted - a battery disconnect, a flat battery or a fuse change. The same code works every time, because it is tied to the radio and never changes.
The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.
