Do You Have the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV?
Not sure if your vehicle is equipped with the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV? Check the design, controls, display and features listed below against your factory radio.
What the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV looks like:
- Centre-stack 8.4" touchscreen
- A navigation unit - maps installed from the factory
- Built for the North America market
- The chassis label carries the UAV sales code
- Label serial opening with TM9
It is the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV when:
- the factory label reads UAV
- the label serial begins with TM9
- the build year falls inside 2017-2020
- the display matches the Uconnect 8.4 8.4" touchscreen
UAV has the NAV tile on the home screen and draws maps. If tapping NAV returns "Feature not available" you have UAQ (non-nav), not UAV.
About the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV is an original factory-installed head unit developed for selected Chrysler vehicles. Designed to provide reliable audio playback and vehicle integration, this unit may also offer Bluetooth connectivity, touchscreen controls, CD/DVD playback, navigation or multimedia support, depending on the specific version.
Uconnect 8.4 UAV is the North American Panasonic 8.4-inch navigation head unit (the "V" suffix denotes nav). 8.4-inch touchscreen, built-in NA maps, SiriusXM Travel Link, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on later firmware.
Between 2017-2020 the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV appeared across a number of Chrysler models, usually on vehicles using the Panasonic multimedia platform. It stayed in production long enough to become a familiar sight in that generation of cars.
Typical features include:
8.4" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Built-in navigation with factory maps
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Smartphone mirroring: CarPlay / Android Auto*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability varies with the vehicle configuration.
Like many factory-installed radios, the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 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.
Platform details and official documentation are available from the official Uconnect site.
How to Get the Serial Number From Your Radio
Every Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV 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 UAV: Top of the chassis on a printed white sticker. Three 7mm bolts release the unit. No on-screen serial display in lock mode.
Three steps to the serial number:
- Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in a minute and nothing needs disconnecting.
- Find the white label on the housing and read the serial off it - it sits near the barcode.
- Type it into the form exactly as printed, with no spaces or dashes.

When Does the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV Ask for Its Code?
The lock screen rarely appears out of nowhere - one of these four situations is behind almost every locked Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UAV we see.
A battery swap
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.
A repair cut the power
Alternator, starter or fuse-box work usually means disconnecting the battery - and the radio locks itself as a side effect of the repair.
A second-hand radio
Replacement radios are the classic 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.
You bought the car used
No handbook, no code card, seller unreachable - none of it matters. The radio's own serial number carries everything needed to calculate the code.
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.

Some vehicle models were available with more than one factory radio depending on trim level, production year or regional market. Always verify your radio model before ordering a code.
Putting the code into the radio
The code goes into the unit itself, not into the car's menus.
- 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.
Common problems
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 "INCORRECT CODE - WAIT" with a 30-minute countdown. Keep ignition on so the timer runs 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 on a printed white sticker. Three 7mm bolts release the unit. No on-screen serial display in lock mode.
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 for more than about a minute - dead battery, battery replacement, jump-start failure, or removal of the radio.
Same face, different radio
One glance at the label removes the doubt - worth doing before the order. UAV has the NAV tile on the home screen and draws maps. If tapping NAV returns "Feature not available" you have UAQ (non-nav), not UAV.
The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.
