Identify Your Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 Radio
Compare the design, controls, display and features listed below with your factory-installed radio - the Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 is easy to identify once you know what to look for.
Typical identification features:
- 6.5" touchscreen in the centre of the dash
- The home screen has no NAV tile and no maps on board
- Sales code RE2 on the chassis label
- Serial number starting with T0012, T00BE
This is probably your radio if:
- the chassis label carries the RE2 sales code
- the label serial begins with T0012, T00BE
- the build year falls inside 2007-2010
- the screen is the 6.5" touchscreen fitted to the Media Center 640
RE2 has no NAV soft key. If your screen draws a map, you have a 730N RB1 or 740N RB5 nav variant instead. The disc slot on RE2 is a single CD/DVD - if you see a six-disc magazine load, that is an REC, not an RE2.
Understanding the Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2
The Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 is an original factory-installed head unit developed for selected Chrysler vehicles. Built to deliver 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 specific version.
Media Center 640 RE2 is the entry Panasonic-built MyGIG sibling - a 6.5-inch touchscreen with single-disc CD/DVD, AM/FM and SiriusXM, but no navigation and no hard drive. The home screen carries the "Media Center" wordmark in the top-left corner of the boot animation.
Between 2007-2010 the Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 appeared across a number of Chrysler models, usually on vehicles using the Panasonic multimedia platform. It stayed in production long enough to become a common sight in that generation of cars.
Features you may find on the Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2:
6.5" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
CD/DVD playback
Internal hard drive for ripped music
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability varies with the vehicle specification.
Like many factory-installed radios, the Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 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 Panasonic Automotive.
Finding the Serial Number on the Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2
The code is generated 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 sticker on the top face of the chassis, slightly toward the rear edge. There is no software menu that exposes the serial while the radio is locked - the unit must be unbolted from the dash and pulled forward to read the label. Two T20 Torx screws on the trim bezel.
Three steps to the serial number:
- Ease the radio out of the dash - most units need a pair of release keys, which cost a few dollars online.
- Find the white 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.

When Does the Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 Ask for Its Code?
A locked Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 is nearly always the result of one of four everyday situations, none of which mean anything is broken.
The battery was replaced
The most common trigger by far: the moment the battery is disconnected, the radio forgets it was ever unlocked and asks for its code on the next start.
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.
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 route back to a working radio is the same in every case: serial number in, original code out, within seconds.

How to enter your Chrysler Media Center 640 RE2 code
It takes under a minute once you have the four digits.
- Switch the ignition on and let the radio boot to its security screen.
- The code prompt appears with its own keypad.
- Enter the four digits in the order you received them.
- As soon as the last digit lands, the radio verifies on its own.
- On a correct code the radio leaves security mode and plays again.
Common problems
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 radio shows "INCORRECT CODE - WAIT" with a 30-minute countdown. The timer only counts down while the ignition is in RUN or ACC; cutting power resets it back to 30 minutes. The unit cannot be permanently bricked - the correct code always clears the screen once the timer expires.
Where the number actually is
The serial is on the unit itself, not in the vehicle papers or on the dashboard. White printed sticker on the top face of the chassis, slightly toward the rear edge. There is no software menu that exposes the serial while the radio is locked - the unit must be unbolted from the dash and pulled forward to read the label. Two T20 Torx screws on the trim bezel.
The radio locked itself again
Expected behaviour: the security system trips again whenever power is cut. RE2 locks after any 12V interruption longer than about a minute - dead battery, battery replacement, alternator service, or removal of the radio from the dash. Body shop work that disconnects the battery is the single most common trigger we see.
Same face, different radio
One glance at the label removes the doubt - worth doing before the order. RE2 has no NAV soft key. If your screen draws a map, you have a 730N RB1 or 740N RB5 nav variant instead. The disc slot on RE2 is a single CD/DVD - if you see a six-disc magazine load, that is an REC, not an RE2.
The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.
