Your screen must be physically 12 inches tall in portrait orientation. If your screen is the older 8.4 landscape unit, you have one of the U--V (UAV/UCV/UDV) 8.4 pages, not this one.

Top of the chassis assembly, behind the screen module. The 12.0 screen and the radio brain come out of the dash as a single bonded assembly via four bolts on the dash bracket. There is no on-screen serial display while the radio is locked. Nothing else is required - the serial (it starts with TM9) alone produces the code.

How the service works

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

  1. 1 Check the unit's sticker It is printed on the unit's own label, usually near the barcode. Release keys slide the radio out far enough to read it.
  2. 2 Type it in the form Enter the full serial with your email address. A format check catches mistakes before checkout.
  3. 3 Your code arrives in seconds Payment done, code displayed on screen and emailed. It works for the life of the unit, so hold on to it.

Covered by a full refund if the code does not work on your unit.

About the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV

The Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV is a factory-fitted Chrysler audio and multimedia unit. Alongside standard radio and audio playback it may include touchscreen controls, Bluetooth, CD/DVD playback or factory navigation, depending on how the vehicle was specified.

Uconnect 12.0 UAV is the North American Panasonic 12-inch vertical-orientation Uconnect head unit with navigation - the tall portrait-mode screen used in the Ram 1500 DT Limited and similar premium trims. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto wireless, SiriusXM Travel Link, integrated climate controls in the lower half of the screen.

Look for the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV in Chrysler vehicles from 2019-2022. It came with the Panasonic multimedia platform and is still found in many cars from that period.

Typical features include:

12.0" touchscreen

AM/FM radio

Navigation built in, with factory map data

SiriusXM satellite radio*

Smartphone mirroring: CarPlay / Android Auto*

Steering wheel control support

Anti-theft security code

*Availability depends on the vehicle configuration.

Like many factory-installed radios, the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV 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.

Background on the platform itself is published by the official Uconnect site.

Your Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV Serial Number - Where to Look

Your unlock code is tied to the radio's serial number, so it is the one detail the form asks for. The number lives on the label printed on the housing of the radio itself.

On this unit: Top of the chassis assembly, behind the screen module. The 12.0 screen and the radio brain come out of the dash as a single bonded assembly via four bolts on the dash bracket. There is no on-screen serial display while the radio is locked.

How to reach the number:

  1. Ease the radio out of the dash - most units need a pair of release keys, which cost a few dollars online.
  2. Read the serial from the factory sticker on the housing, next to or under the barcode.
  3. Enter it exactly as it appears - no spaces, no dashes.
What the serial looks like: TM9 plus 9 digits - TM9123456789 is a typical example.

The Situations That Lock a Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV

Nearly all of the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV codes we generate follow one of these four events.

A repair cut the power

Alternator, starter or fuse-box work usually means disconnecting the battery - and the radio arms its anti-theft as a side effect of the repair.

A replacement radio

The code does not transfer between radios: the swapped-in unit has a different serial, and that serial is what the code is based on.

You bought the car used

No handbook, no code card, seller long gone - none of it matters. The radio's own serial number carries everything needed to calculate the code.

New battery, locked radio

A new 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.

The way out is the same in every case: serial number in, original code out, within seconds.

Cars Equipped with the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV

Vehicle Model Typical Production Years Notes
Ram 1500 DT Laramie, Longhorn, Limited (US nav trims) 2019-2022
Ram 2500/3500 (US Limited with 12-inch screen) 2019-2022

The vehicles listed above are the most common factory applications for the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV. Equipment packages and regional specifications differ, so verify the radio using its design, serial number or part number before ordering a code.

Once the code arrives

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

  1. Put the key in accessory position so the unit powers up and asks for the code.
  2. A four-digit keypad appears on the display.
  3. Key in the code, one digit at a time, left to right.
  4. The unit checks the code automatically on the last digit.
  5. Right code in, lock screen gone - the radio is back to normal.

Troubleshooting the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV

Too many wrong attempts

After a few wrong entries the radio stops accepting codes for a while - cutting power only restarts the clock. Three wrong codes triggers a "PLEASE WAIT" screen with a 60-minute timer (the 12.0 platform inherits the longer Uconnect 4C wait rather than the 30-minute 8.4 timer). Power must remain applied to the radio for the timer to count down.

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 assembly, behind the screen module. The 12.0 screen and the radio brain come out of the dash as a single bonded assembly via four bolts on the dash bracket. There is no on-screen serial display while the radio is locked.

It is asking for the code a second time

By design, every loss of power re-arms the anti-theft lock. Loss of 12V power. The 12.0 platform is more tolerant of brief dips than older Uconnect 8.4 units but still locks on full battery disconnect, jump-start failure, or removal of the radio assembly.

I am not sure I have the right variant

Close relatives of this unit look almost identical from the driver's seat. Your screen must be physically 12 inches tall in portrait orientation. If your screen is the older 8.4 landscape unit, you have one of the U--V (UAV/UCV/UDV) 8.4 pages, not this one.

Note the four digits somewhere safe - they are yours for good and reusable after any power cut.

What Owners Usually Ask

Usually yes, because the serial is printed on a label on the unit itself rather than shown on screen. Release keys are cheap and the unit only has to come forward far enough to read the label - there is no need to unplug anything.

It is the original factory code for your serial, calculated the same way a dealership system does it. Only the price and the waiting time differ.

Yes - used units are among the most frequent orders. Take the serial from the radio now in the car and the code for that unit is generated as usual.

The money-back guarantee covers it. Show us the serial and the code going in on a quick video and you are refunded in full.

You can leave the VIN out. The Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV code is worked out from the unit's serial number, and outside Renault and Dacia no radio code can be taken from a VIN.

It will. The Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAV code is fixed to the unit, so after any future battery change the same digits unlock it again. Keep a note of it with the car documents.
