Identify Your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC Radio
Not sure if your vehicle is equipped with the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC? Compare the design, controls, display and features listed below against your factory radio.
Identifying details:
- Centre-stack 8.4" touchscreen
- The home screen has no NAV tile and no maps on board
- Shipped for the North America market
- The chassis label carries the UAC sales code
- Label serial opening with TM9
This is probably your radio if:
- the factory label reads UAC
- the label serial begins with TM9
- the vehicle was built between 2017-2019
- the screen is the 8.4" touchscreen fitted to the Uconnect 8.4
UAC is fleet-spec non-nav with feature flags reduced for commercial use. If your vehicle is a passenger car trim level, you probably have UAQ instead. The part number sticker carries the UAC reference.
Overview of the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC is a dealer-installed 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 left the factory.
Uconnect 8.4 UAC is a North American Panasonic 8.4-inch head unit configured for fleet and commercial trim levels - 8.4-inch touchscreen with AM/FM, SiriusXM, Bluetooth and USB, no built-in maps. The home screen carries the standard Uconnect tiles without a NAV slot.
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC was installed in various Chrysler models between 2017-2019. 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.
Features you may find on the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC:
8.4" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Bluetooth for hands-free calls and music streaming
Media playback over USB
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability depends on the vehicle configuration.
Like many factory-installed radios, the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC 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.
How to Get the Serial Number From Your Radio
Every Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC has a unique serial number, and the unlock code is worked out 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.
Where exactly: Top of the chassis on a printed white sticker. Pull the radio out via three 7mm bolts; no on-screen serial display while in lock mode.
Getting to the label:
- Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in a minute and nothing needs disconnecting.
- The serial is on the chassis sticker, usually right next to the barcode - copy it down.
- Enter it character for character - no spaces, no dashes.

The Situations That Lock a Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC
The lock screen almost never appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind nearly every locked Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC we see.
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.
A different unit is in the dash now
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 battery was disconnected
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.
After electrical work
The repair worked - the locked radio is just the side effect of the battery being off the car for a while.
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 is emailed in seconds.

You will find the part number on the factory sticker of the unit, normally alongside the serial. A match in this list confirms you are on the right page for the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAC.
Once the code arrives
Nothing to install and no tools needed - only the code itself.
- Turn the ignition on so the radio powers up and shows the locked screen.
- A keypad for the code fills the middle of the screen.
- Tap the four digits of your code in order.
- There is no separate OK button - the radio checks the code on the last tap.
- A correct code clears the lock screen and the audio comes straight back.
If something goes wrong
The screen shows a wait timer
The timer is the radio protecting itself after failed entries - power on, patience, then try again. Three wrong attempts triggers a 30-minute WAIT countdown. Keep ignition in RUN or ACC for the timer to run down.
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 on a printed white sticker. Pull the radio out via three 7mm bolts; no on-screen serial display while in lock mode.
The radio locked itself again
Expected behaviour: the security system trips again whenever power is cut. Loss of 12V power - dead battery, replacement, or radio removal.
Making sure it is the right unit
The differences are easy to miss, so check this before ordering. UAC is fleet-spec non-nav with feature flags reduced for commercial use. If your vehicle is a passenger car trim level, you probably have UAQ instead. The part number sticker carries the UAC reference.
Write the code down - the same four digits work for the life of the unit.
