How to Get the Serial Number From Your Radio
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 the Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS: White label on the top of the chassis near the rear edge. Pull the radio from the dash.
How to reach the number:
- Ease 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.
- Type it into the form exactly as printed, with no spaces or dashes.

Typical Ways a Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS Gets Locked
The lock screen almost never appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind almost every locked Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS we see.
You swapped the radio itself
A used unit from a donor car 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.
The battery was replaced
Any battery work counts as a power cut to the radio. It locks automatically and waits for the original code before playing again.
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 generated from the radio's serial, not from any paperwork.
The car was in the garage
Any repair that touches the 12V supply - even briefly - is enough to bring up the code screen on the next start.
The route back to a working radio is the same in every case: serial number in, original code out, in seconds.
Where Was the Uconnect 7.0 UAG UCG 7 inch SDARS Installed?

Putting the code into the radio
Nothing to install and no tools needed - only the code itself.
- 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.
Things that can catch you out
The screen shows a wait timer
The timer is the radio protecting itself after failed entries - power on, patience, then try again. 30-minute WAIT after three wrong codes.
The label is not where I expected
Only the radio itself carries it - bring the unit out and the label is right there. White label on the top of the chassis near the rear edge. Pull the radio from the dash.
Locked again after it was fine
Nothing is broken. Any interruption to the 12V supply brings the lock screen back. Loss of 12V power.
I am not sure I have the right variant
Close relatives of this unit look almost identical from the driver's seat. SDARS suffix means SiriusXM satellite radio is fitted - distinguishes this from the non-SDARS UAG UCG VP2RFP sibling. NAFTA variant; EU equivalent is UGG VP2RFP.
Note the four digits somewhere safe - they are permanent and reusable after any power cut.
