Your code appears right away after the payment goes through, and the same code is emailed to you. The service runs 24 hours a day, so there is nothing to wait for.

Then you get your money back - in full. A short clip of the serial number and the code entry is the only thing we ask for before the refund goes out.

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.

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. The serial (it starts with T00AM, T00BE) is the only detail needed to generate the code.

  3. 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.

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:

  1. Pull the unit forward with release keys (a few dollars online) - the wiring can stay plugged in.
  2. The serial is on the chassis label, usually right by the barcode - copy it down.
  3. Copy it into the form precisely as printed; the checker catches any typo before payment.
Expected format: T00AM followed by 9 more characters; T00BE followed by 9 digits (for example T00BE123456789).

Everything You Need to Know About the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5

The Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 is a factory-fitted Chrysler audio and multimedia unit. Alongside everyday radio and audio playback it may include touchscreen controls, Bluetooth, CD/DVD playback or factory navigation, depending on how the vehicle was specified.

Media Center 740N RB5 is the Panasonic-built navigation MyGIG variant - 6.5-inch touchscreen, single-disc CD/DVD, AM/FM, SiriusXM, plus a built-in flash-based navigation engine with SD-card map updates. NAV soft key visible on the lower bar.

The Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 was installed in various Chrysler models between 2008-2012. It was commonly fitted to vehicles built on the Panasonic multimedia platform and remains one of the more recognisable factory radios of that period.

Typical features include:

6.5" touchscreen

AM/FM radio

Navigation built in, with factory map data

CD/DVD playback

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 740N RB5 is protected by an anti-theft system. If power is interrupted after replacing or disconnecting the vehicle battery, the unit may request the original radio code before it can be used again.

For the manufacturer's own documentation of this platform, see Panasonic Automotive.

How Owners End Up on This Page

A locked Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 is nearly always the result of one of four everyday situations, none of which mean anything is broken.

New battery, locked radio

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

Back from the mechanic, radio locked

Mechanics often disconnect the battery before electrical work. The car comes back fixed and the radio comes back locked - expected, not a fault.

A used car with a locked radio

Second and third owners rarely get the code card. The radio itself still carries everything needed - its serial number.

A unit from a donor car

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, in seconds.

OEM Radio References 33

Every reference below is covered by this service. Find yours on the factory sticker of the radio to confirm you are on the right page.

Do not worry about the trailing letters: the 33 numbers span 2 base references, and the letter suffixes only mark factory revisions - the code works across all of them.

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.

  1. Give the radio power - key to accessory is enough - and wait for the code prompt.
  2. The screen shows a numeric keypad for the four digits.
  3. Punch in all four digits, first to last.
  4. Verification happens by itself once the fourth digit is in.
  5. The security screen disappears and the unit returns to normal operation.

Things that can catch you out

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. 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 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, 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.

It is asking for the code a second time

By design, every loss of power re-arms the anti-theft lock. 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.

This radio looks like several others

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.

Save the code: it stays valid, so the next battery change costs you nothing.

Everything Else You Might Ask

It is. The code is generated with the manufacturer's own algorithm from your serial number, so it is the same code the dealership system returns - the difference is the price and the fact that you do not have to book an appointment.

Pricing depends on the radio family and starts at $9.99. The exact amount for your serial is shown at checkout before you pay anything, so there is never a surprise on the invoice.

The code is generated automatically as soon as the payment goes through, so it appears on screen in a few seconds and lands in your inbox at the same time. The service runs around the clock, so there is no queue and no waiting for office hours.

No. The code for the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 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. The radio will ask for the code again after the next power cut, but it is the same code every time - it is burned into the unit and never changes. Keep it with the service book and future battery changes cost you nothing.

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.

"I am very glad I found this website. The code I received was the correct code. I am so happy that my radio works. I have a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. I replaced the radio with a used one. Sad I needed a code to fix it after replacing it."
