How it works
One number, three steps, about two minutes.
- 1 Get the serial off the radio 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 Paste it into the box Copy it character for character. We check the format up front, so a typo never costs you anything.
- 3 Your code arrives in seconds The code is delivered automatically, day or night. Enter it on the radio and the anti-theft screen clears.
Money-back guarantee if the code does not unlock your radio.
This is an example label - the one in your car sits in the same place and looks much like it.
Do You Have the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5?
Line up the design, controls, display and features listed below with your factory-installed radio - the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 is easy to tell apart once you know what to look for.
What the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 looks like:
- 6.5" touchscreen in the centre of the dash
- Factory navigation with maps built in
- Sales code RB5 on the chassis label
- Serial number starting with T00AM, T00BE
It is the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 when:
- the chassis label carries the RB5 sales code
- the serial on the label starts with T00AM, T00BE
- the vehicle was built between 2008-2012
- the screen is the 6.5" touchscreen fitted to the Media Center 740N
RB5 draws maps. If tapping NAV on your screen returns "Feature not available", you have an RE2 instead. RB5 part numbers sit in the P05064xxx and P68xxxxxx ranges with an "RB5" or "740N" reference on the dealer label.
Where to Find Your Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 Serial Number
Every Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 has a unique serial number, and the unlock code is derived from it. You will find that number on the unit's own label - it is not in the service book and not on the dashboard.
On this unit: Top of the chassis, near the back-right corner on a printed white sticker. Pull the radio out via four 7mm bolts behind the dash trim - the Panasonic chassis carries no menu shortcut for displaying the serial.
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 printed label on the housing, next to or under the barcode.
- Type it into the form exactly as printed, without spaces.

The part number is printed on the label on top of or on the side of the radio chassis, usually next to the serial number. If yours appears above, the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 is the correct page.
Once the code arrives
Nothing to install and no tools needed - just the four digits.
- Switch the ignition on and let the radio boot to its security screen.
- A four-digit keypad appears on the display.
- Key in the code, one digit at a time, left to right.
- Verification happens by itself once the fourth digit is in.
- On a correct code the radio leaves security mode and plays again.
Things that can catch you out
The screen shows a wait timer
Wrong codes put the unit into a lockout, and the only fix is to leave it powered and wait. Three wrong codes triggers "WAIT" for 30 minutes. Keep the key in RUN or ACC so the timer counts down; the timer pauses (and resets) if power is cut.
The label is not where I expected
The serial is on the unit itself, not in the vehicle papers or on the dashboard. Top of the chassis, near the back-right corner on a printed white sticker. Pull the radio out via four 7mm bolts behind the dash trim - the Panasonic chassis carries no menu shortcut for displaying the serial.
Why it happened again
Nothing is broken. Any interruption to the 12V supply brings the lock screen back. Any loss of 12V power longer than around a minute - dead battery, battery swap, jump-start failure, or pulling the unit out of the dash during repair.
Making sure it is the right unit
A few models in this family share the same face, so the label is what settles it. RB5 draws maps. If tapping NAV on your screen returns "Feature not available", you have an RE2 instead. RB5 part numbers sit in the P05064xxx and P68xxxxxx ranges with an "RB5" or "740N" reference on the dealer label.
Write the code down - the same four digits work for the life of the unit.
