How to Recognize the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ

Not sure if your vehicle is fitted with the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ? Check the design, controls, display and features listed below against your factory radio.

What the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ looks like:

  • 8.4-inch touchscreen filling the centre of the dash
  • No NAV tile on the home screen - tapping through never shows a map
  • Uconnect branding on the boot screen
  • Climate shortcuts along the bottom edge of the display
  • Menu language options are English and Spanish (not French)
  • Chassis label serial starting with TM9

It is the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ when:

  • the home screen has no navigation tile and no maps are installed
  • the screen measures 8.4 inches, not 5.0, 7.0 or 12.0
  • the interface offers English and Spanish only - a French option means you have UCQ (Canada), not UAQ
  • the chassis label carries a 68274757, 68295725, 68306560 or 68306656 series part number
  • the vehicle is a US-market Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram built between 2017 and 2020
Easy to mix up?

UAQ has no NAV tile. If tapping the screen shows a map, you have UAV (nav). The "A" middle letter denotes North America - if your radio boots in French as well as English, you have UCQ (Canada), not UAQ.

Learn More About the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ

The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ 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 was specified.

UAQ is the North American 8.4-inch Uconnect head unit without built-in navigation - the "Q" suffix marks the non-nav units in the Uconnect U-series, and the "A" in the middle marks the US market. It covers AM/FM, SiriusXM, Bluetooth and USB media, but has no map tile on the home screen.

The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ was installed in various Chrysler models between 2017-2020. It was commonly fitted to vehicles built on the Panasonic multimedia platform and remains one of the more recognisable factory radios of that period.

Features you may find on the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ:

8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen

AM/FM radio

SiriusXM satellite radio*

Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming

USB media playback and charging

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto*

Rear-camera input*

Steering wheel control support

Anti-theft security code

*Availability varies with the vehicle specification.

The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ carries the same anti-theft protection as most factory units. Once power is cut - a flat battery, a battery swap, or the radio being removed - it will ask for the original code before it plays again.

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

What Usually Triggers the Code Screen

The lock screen almost never appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind almost every locked Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ we see.

The code card is long gone

The code card that shipped with the car went missing an owner or two ago. That is not a problem - the code is recovered from the radio's serial, not from any paperwork.

You swapped the radio itself

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.

New battery, locked radio

Any battery work counts as a power cut to the radio. It re-arms automatically and waits for the original code before playing again.

The car was in the garage

Any repair that touches the 12V supply - even briefly - is enough to bring up the code screen on the next start.

Whichever of these applies, 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.

Where to Find Your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ Serial Number

Every Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ 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.

On the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ: Chassis top, white printed label. Remove the radio via three 7mm bolts and two clips on the dash bezel. No menu shortcut in lock mode.

How to reach the number:

  1. Pull the unit forward with release keys (cheap online) - the wiring can stay connected.
  2. The serial is on the chassis sticker, usually right next to the barcode - copy it down.
  3. Enter it exactly as it appears - no spaces, no dashes.
Format on the label: TM9 plus 9 digits - TM9123456789 is a typical example.

Where Was the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ Installed?

Vehicle Model Typical Production Years Notes
Chrysler 200, 300, Pacifica 2017-2020 US base and mid trims
Dodge Charger SXT, Challenger SXT 2017-2020 Non-navigation trims
Dodge Durango SXT, Grand Caravan 2017-2020 US builds
Jeep Cherokee KL, Compass, Renegade 2017-2020 US non-nav
Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 2017-2020 US non-nav trims

Vehicle compatibility can differ between trims, model years and regional versions. Because the same car could leave the factory with different radios, identify your unit before placing an order.

Typing the code into your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ

The code goes straight into the radio, not into the car's menus.

  1. Turn the ignition on so the radio powers up and shows the locked screen.
  2. A four-digit numeric keypad fills the centre of the 8.4-inch display.
  3. Tap the four digits of your code in order.
  4. The radio verifies automatically on the fourth tap - there is no separate OK button.
  5. On a correct code the unit unlocks immediately and returns to the normal Uconnect home screen.

Troubleshooting the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ

The screen shows "INCORRECT CODE - WAIT"

Three wrong entries start a 30-minute countdown. The timer only counts down while the ignition is on, and cutting power resets it back to the full 30 minutes, so leave the car in accessory position and wait it out.

I cannot find the serial number

UAQ has no menu shortcut in lock mode, so the serial can only be read from the white label on top of the chassis. The unit comes out with three 7mm bolts and two clips on the dash bezel.

My radio has a map screen

Then it is not UAQ. A navigation tile means you have UAV, the navigation-equipped version of the same 8.4-inch unit, and you need that page instead.

The radio locked itself again

That is normal. Any 12V loss longer than about a minute - a flat battery, battery service, alternator work or pulling the radio - re-arms the anti-theft system. The code is tied to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe.

Save the code: it stays valid, so the next battery change costs you nothing.

Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ Radio Code - Questions and Answers

No, and any service that claims otherwise is guessing. The serial is the only input the algorithm has - with no serial there is simply nothing to work from.

No. The code for the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAQ comes from the radio's own serial number, not from the vehicle identification number. A VIN lookup only works on Renault and Dacia units - for every other make, including this one, the serial from the radio label is what we need.

It is. The code is calculated with the manufacturer's own algorithm from your serial number, so it is identical to what the dealer would give you - the difference is the price and the fact that you do not have to book an appointment.

Yes, and it is the smart move: order while the timer runs down, and by the time the radio accepts input again the code is already in your inbox. The lockout only blocks code ENTRY, not code retrieval.

No. The radio will ask for the code again after the next power cut, but it is the same code every time - it is burned into the unit and never changes. Keep it in the glovebox and future battery changes cost you nothing.

Pricing depends on the radio family and starts at $9.99. The exact amount for your serial is shown at checkout before you pay anything, so there is no surprise at the end.
