Understanding the CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS
The CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS is an original factory-installed infotainment system 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 exact configuration.
Continental CAR MAKER FIAT VP2 312 MCA SDARS is the 312-series NAFTA Fiat-platform Uconnect with SDARS (Sirius/XM satellite radio) and MCA (Middle Console Audio) integration. Smaller display compared to 520/637 siblings.
Production of the CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS ran across 2014-2018, mainly in Chrysler models built around the Continental multimedia platform, so plenty of these units are still on the road.
Common features on this unit:
AM/FM radio
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming
Media playback over USB
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability varies with the vehicle specification.
Like many factory-installed radios, the CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS is secured with an anti-theft system. If power is interrupted after replacing or disconnecting the vehicle battery, the unit may demand the original radio code before it can be used again.
Background on the platform itself is published by Continental Automotive.
Reading the CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS Chassis Label
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 printed on the housing of the radio itself.
On this unit: Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Pull the radio.
Getting to the label:
- Ease the radio out of the dash - most units need a pair of release keys, which cost very little online.
- Find the printed label on the housing and read the serial off it - it sits near the barcode.
- Copy it into the form precisely as printed; the checker catches any typo before payment.

The Situations That Lock a CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS
A locked CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS is nearly always the result of one of four everyday situations, none of which mean anything is broken.
The code card is long gone
The code card that shipped with the car went missing an owner or two ago. That is not a problem - the code is recovered from the radio's serial, not from any paperwork.
You swapped the radio itself
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.
The battery was disconnected
Any battery work counts as a power cut to the radio. It locks automatically and waits for the original code before playing again.
The car was in the garage
Any repair that touches the 12V supply - even for a few minutes - is enough to bring up the code screen on the next start.
All four roads lead to the same solution - read the serial off the unit, enter it above, and the original code comes back instantly.

Entering the code on the CAR MAKER FIAVP2_312 MCA SDARS
It takes under a minute once you have the four digits.
- Put the key in accessory position so the unit powers up and asks for the code.
- A four-digit keypad appears on the display.
- Key in the code, one digit at a time, left to right.
- The unit checks the code automatically on the last digit.
- Right code in, lock screen gone - the radio is back to normal.
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. 30-minute WAIT after three wrong codes.
The serial is hiding from you
Nothing on the car's menus shows it - the number lives on the radio's own label. Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Pull the radio.
It is asking for the code a second time
By design, every loss of power re-arms the anti-theft lock. Battery disconnect.
I am not sure I have the right variant
Close relatives of this unit look almost identical from the driver's seat. The "312" prefix marks the smaller Fiat 500-series head unit. If your vehicle is a Renegade with the larger 7-inch or 8.4-inch screen, you have a 520 or 637 sibling instead.
Note the four digits somewhere safe - they are permanent and reusable after any power cut.
