RA4 has the NAV tile. If tapping NAV returns "Feature not available" you have RA3, not RA4. VP4 is the second-generation Uconnect 8.4 platform - it boots faster than the VP3 RA4 and has Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support in later model years.

White printed label on the top of the chassis, near the rear edge. Three 7mm bolts and two trim clips release the dash bezel; pull the radio forward enough to read the label from above. No on-screen serial menu is available while the unit is locked. Nothing else is required - the serial (it starts with T00AM, T00BE, T0012) alone produces the code.

Supported Radio Serial Prefixes

Serial Prefix Status
T00AM Supported
T00BE Supported
T0012 Supported

If your serial starts with one of these, we can retrieve your code.

Your code in three steps

Everything runs from the serial number on the radio's own label.

  1. 1 Read the number on the sticker On the factory sticker on the radio housing, next to the barcode. Most units have to come out of the dash - release keys cost a few dollars.
  2. 2 Put it in the form on the left Just the serial and your email. The validator runs before the payment step.
  3. 3 Your code lands in seconds The code is on screen straight away and in your inbox. It never expires and keeps working every time power is cut.

If it does not work, you are refunded in full.

Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA Overview

Fitted as factory equipment in selected Chrysler models, the Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA handles audio playback and vehicle integration from the factory. Depending on the version, it can also add Bluetooth, touchscreen operation, CD/DVD playback, navigation or wider multimedia support.

Uconnect 8.4 RA4 (VP4 North America) is the most common 8.4-inch navigation Uconnect in US-market FCA vehicles - 8.4-inch touchscreen with built-in maps, SiriusXM Travel Link, climate controls integrated into the screen on most vehicles. The home screen shows a NAV tile alongside Radio, Media, Phone.

Chrysler used the Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA on selected models produced between 2014-2018, typically alongside the Harman multimedia platform. It is one of the factory units most often encountered from that era.

Typical features include:

8.4" touchscreen

AM/FM radio

Navigation built in, with factory map data

SiriusXM satellite radio*

Bluetooth for hands-free calls and music streaming

USB media playback

Steering wheel control support

Anti-theft security code

*Availability varies with the vehicle specification.

As with other Harman factory units, the Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA locks itself when power is lost. After a battery disconnect or a workshop visit the screen will ask for the original security code before any audio returns.

Platform details and official documentation are available from the official Uconnect site.

What Usually Triggers the Code Screen

Nearly all of the Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA codes we generate follow one of these four events.

The seller 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.

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.

The battery was replaced

A replacement battery - or a flat one after the car sat for a while - cuts power to the radio, and the anti-theft system arms itself the moment power returns.

After electrical work

The repair worked - the locked radio is just the side effect of the battery being off the car for a while.

All four roads lead to the same solution - read the serial off the unit, enter it above, and the original code comes back instantly.

How to Read the Serial Number Off Your Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA

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 factory sticker of the unit itself, not in the vehicle documents.

On this unit: White printed label on the top of the chassis, near the rear edge. Three 7mm bolts and two trim clips release the dash bezel; pull the radio forward enough to read the label from above. No on-screen serial menu is available while the unit is locked.

How to reach the number:

  1. Slide the radio out of the dash - most units need a pair of release keys, which cost very little online.
  2. Read the serial from the printed label on the housing, next to or under the barcode.
  3. Copy it into the form precisely as printed; the checker catches any typo before payment.
What the serial looks like: T00AM and then 9 more characters; T00BE or T0012 and then 9 more digits, e.g. T00BE123456789.

How to enter your Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA code

Nothing to install and no tools needed - only the code itself.

  1. Switch the ignition on and let the radio boot to its security screen.
  2. The code prompt comes up with its own keypad.
  3. Enter the four digits in the order you received them.
  4. As soon as the last digit lands, the radio runs the check on its own.
  5. On a correct code the radio leaves security mode and plays again.

Troubleshooting the Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA

The radio is counting down

A countdown means the anti-theft system is holding the unit. Leave the ignition on until it clears. After three wrong codes the screen shows "INCORRECT CODE - WAIT" with a 30-minute countdown. The timer counts down only while the radio has 12V applied (ignition in RUN or ACC) - cutting power restarts the 30 minutes. The radio cannot be permanently locked; the correct code always works once the timer expires.

I cannot find the serial number

It is printed on the housing, so the unit normally has to come forward to read it. White printed label on the top of the chassis, near the rear edge. Three 7mm bolts and two trim clips release the dash bezel; pull the radio forward enough to read the label from above. No on-screen serial menu is available while the unit is locked.

Why it happened again

That is normal - the anti-theft system re-arms every time the unit loses power. Any interruption of 12V power for more than about a minute. Common causes: dead battery, battery replacement, jump-start failure, alternator service, dash repair that disconnected the battery, or pulling the radio out of the dash.

Same face, different radio

One glance at the label settles it - worth doing before the order. RA4 has the NAV tile. If tapping NAV returns "Feature not available" you have RA3, not RA4. VP4 is the second-generation Uconnect 8.4 platform - it boots faster than the VP3 RA4 and has Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support in later model years.

The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.

Common Questions About the Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA

No, and any service that claims otherwise is guessing. The serial is the only input the algorithm has - with no serial there is simply nothing to work from.

Yes, and this is one of the most common orders. It makes no difference that it is from a donor car - the code is generated from the serial on ITS label, so read the serial off the newly fitted unit and enter that.

Yes. The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so if the battery is disconnected again in a year the same four digits will unlock it. It is worth writing it down and keeping it with the service book.

It is. The code is calculated with the manufacturer's own algorithm from your serial number, so it is the exact code a dealer would look up - the difference is the price and the fact that you do not have to book an appointment.

No. The code for the Uconnect 8.4 RA4 VP4 NA comes from the radio's own serial number, not from the vehicle identification number. A VIN lookup only works on Renault and Dacia units - for every other make, including this one, the serial from the radio label is what we need.

No. Every radio has its own code, tied to its own serial number - a code from a different unit of the same model will never fit. Order the code for the serial printed on the radio that is actually in the dash.
