Identify Your Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX Radio
Before ordering a radio code it is important to confirm the exact model. Match the design, controls, display and features below with the unit in your dashboard.
Typical identification features:
- 12.0" touchscreen in the centre of the dash
- Shipped for the North America market
- UAX printed on the factory label
- A serial that begins with TM9
You most likely have the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX if:
- the factory label reads UAX
- the label serial begins with TM9
- the model year sits within 2019-2022
- the screen is the 12.0" touchscreen fitted to the Uconnect 12.0
UAX shares the face and 12-inch screen with UAV. The deciding signal is the chassis part number plus the presence of the H/K or premium-audio badge on the door speakers. UAV is the standard nav variant; UAX is the premium-audio variant.
Where to Find Your Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX Serial Number
Every Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX 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 the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX: Top of the chassis assembly behind the 12-inch screen. Single-piece removal via four bolts on the dash bracket.
Three steps to the serial number:
- 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 factory sticker on the housing, next to or under the barcode.
- Enter it character for character - no spaces, no dashes.

Introducing the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX
Fitted as original equipment in selected Chrysler models, the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX handles audio playback and vehicle integration from the factory. Depending on the version, it can also add Bluetooth, touchscreen operation, CD/DVD playback, navigation or wider multimedia support.
Uconnect 12.0 UAX is the North American Panasonic 12-inch premium-audio variant - same vertical 12-inch screen as UAV plus factory-paired Harman/Kardon or Alpine 19-speaker amplifier package. The "X" suffix in U-series denotes the premium-audio/extended-feature tier.
The Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX was installed in various Chrysler models between 2019-2022. It was commonly fitted to vehicles built on the Panasonic multimedia platform and is still one of the more recognisable factory radios of that period.
Common features on this unit:
12.0" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Bluetooth for hands-free calls and music streaming
USB media playback
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability depends on the vehicle configuration.
As with other Panasonic factory units, the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX locks itself when power is lost. After a battery disconnect or a workshop visit the screen will prompt for the original security code before any audio returns.
For the manufacturer's own documentation of this platform, see the official Uconnect site.
How Owners End Up on This Page
The lock screen rarely appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind nearly every locked Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX we see.
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
A radio from a breaker or an online sale comes with its own serial, so it needs its own code - read the label on the unit you fitted.
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 replacement 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.
Whichever of these happened to you, the fix is identical: the serial number off the radio, the form at the top of this page, and the code arrives in seconds.

Do not worry about the trailing letters: the 44 numbers span 7 base references, and the letter suffixes only mark production revisions - the code works across all of them.

The vehicles listed above are the most common factory applications for the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX. Equipment packages and regional specifications differ, so verify the radio using its design, serial number or part number before ordering a code.
Entering the code on the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UAX
The code goes straight into the radio, not into the car's menus.
- 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.
If something goes wrong
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 a 60-minute "PLEASE WAIT" countdown.
Where the number actually is
The serial is on the unit itself, not in the vehicle papers or on the dashboard. Top of the chassis assembly behind the 12-inch screen. Single-piece removal via four bolts on the dash bracket.
The radio locked itself again
Expected behaviour: the security system trips again whenever power is cut. Loss of 12V power.
This radio looks like several others
A few models in this family share the same face, so the label is what settles it. UAX shares the face and 12-inch screen with UAV. The deciding signal is the chassis part number plus the presence of the H/K or premium-audio badge on the door speakers. UAV is the standard nav variant; UAX is the premium-audio variant.
Save the code: it stays valid, so the next battery change costs you nothing.
