Overview of the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UCX
The Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UCX 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.

Chrysler used the Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UCX on selected models produced between 2019-2022, typically alongside the Panasonic multimedia platform. It is one of the factory units most often seen from that era.

For the manufacturer's own documentation of this platform, see the official Uconnect site.
Where to Find Your Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UCX Serial Number
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. Single-piece removal.
How to reach the number:
- Pull the unit forward with release keys (cheap online) - the wiring can stay plugged in.
- The serial is on the chassis sticker, usually right next to the barcode - copy it down.
- Copy it into the form precisely as printed; the checker catches any typo before payment.

What Usually Triggers the Code Screen
A locked Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UCX is nearly always the result of one of four everyday situations, none of which mean anything is broken.
After mechanical work
The repair worked - the locked radio is just the side effect of the battery being off the car for a while.
The previous owner had no code
Used cars routinely arrive with a locked radio and no code card in the glovebox. The serial number on the unit is all that is needed to recover it.
The battery was disconnected
Whether the battery was changed or just ran flat, the radio sees a power loss and asks for the code the next time it starts.
A different unit is in the dash now
Replacement radios are the textbook case: every unit has its own code tied to its own serial. Read the serial off the newly fitted radio and order for that one.
All four roads lead to the same solution - read the serial off the unit, enter it above, and the original code arrives instantly.

Typing the code into your Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UCX
It takes under a minute once you have the four digits.
- Switch the ignition on and let the radio boot to its security screen.
- The code prompt comes up with its own keypad.
- Enter the four digits in the order you received them.
- As soon as the last digit lands, the radio verifies on its own.
- On a correct code the radio leaves security mode and plays again.
If something goes wrong
The radio is counting down
A countdown means the anti-theft system is holding the unit. Leave the ignition on until it clears. 60-minute PLEASE WAIT after three wrong attempts.
I cannot find the serial number
It is printed on the housing, so the unit normally has to come forward to read it. Top of the chassis assembly behind the screen. Single-piece removal.
Why it happened again
That is normal - the anti-theft system re-arms every time the unit loses power. Battery service or radio removal.
Same face, different radio
One glance at the label removes the doubt - worth doing before the order. UCX is the Canadian sibling of UAX. The UI defaults bilingual EN/FR. If your radio boots in US English only, you probably have UAX instead.
The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.
Questions About Your Chrysler Uconnect 12.0 UCX Code
What Customers Say
A few of the latest reviews left after an unlock - the full list is on the reviews page.
"This was a simple procedure. My Chrysler 300s, I found out my radio S/N (I had to disassemble the radio to get it) and on my vehicle I had 2. The main unit was the right S/N to use and paid my fee, at the same time received my code. It beats paying an $100 + to get it from the dealership."
I really thought it was a scam till I risked it and it was literally instant. Definitely trusted
Mavrick - Chrysler
I paid the $20 with hesitation but this worked perfect, got my code immediately. Thanks!!!
