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.
The photo is a stand-in: your radio wears the same kind of label.

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:
- Centre-stack 6.5" touchscreen
- A navigation unit - maps installed from the factory
- Sales code RB5 on the chassis label
- Serial number starting with T00AM, T00BE
It is the Chrysler Media Center 740N RB5 when:
- the factory label reads RB5
- the label serial begins with T00AM, T00BE
- the build year falls inside 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:
- Pull the unit forward with release keys (a few dollars online) - the wiring can stay plugged in.
- The serial is on the chassis label, usually right by the barcode - copy it down.
- Copy it into the form precisely as printed; the checker catches any typo before payment.

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.

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.
- Give the radio power - key to accessory is enough - and wait for the code prompt.
- The screen shows a numeric keypad for the four digits.
- Punch in all four digits, first to last.
- Verification happens by itself once the fourth digit is in.
- 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.

"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."
