How to Identify the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ
Not sure if your vehicle is equipped with the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ? Compare the design, controls, display and features listed below against your factory radio.
Identifying details:
- 8.4" touchscreen set into the middle of the dash
- No navigation tile on the home screen - no maps installed
- Shipped for the Mexico market
- UDQ printed on the factory label
- Label serial opening with TM9
Tick these off to be sure:
- the chassis label carries the UDQ sales code
- the serial on the label starts with TM9
- the build year falls inside 2017-2020
- the display matches the Uconnect 8.4 8.4" touchscreen
UDQ defaults to Mexican Spanish. No NAV tile - if maps draw on your screen, you have UDV. If your vehicle was sold in the US, you have UAQ rather than UDQ.
Learn More About the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ is a dealer-installed Chrysler audio and multimedia unit. Alongside standard 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 UDQ is the Mexican-market Panasonic 8.4-inch non-navigation head unit. Spanish UI by default, AM/FM with Mexican broadcast bands, Bluetooth and USB, no built-in maps.
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ 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 UDQ:
8.4" 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 varies with the vehicle specification.
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ 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 comes back to life.
Background on the platform itself is published by the official Uconnect site.
Where to Find Your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ Serial Number
Your unlock code is bound 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.
Where exactly: Top of the chassis label.
How to reach the number:
- Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in seconds and nothing needs disconnecting.
- The serial is on the chassis label, usually right next to the barcode - copy it down.
- Enter it character for character - no spaces, no dashes.

Typical Ways a Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ Gets Locked
Almost all of the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UDQ codes we generate follow one of these four events.
A battery change
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.
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 generated from the radio's serial, not from any paperwork.
You swapped the radio itself
The code does not transfer between radios: the swapped-in unit has a different serial, and that serial is what the code is calculated from.
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.

Putting the code into the radio
It takes less than a minute once you have the four digits.
- Put the key in accessory position so the unit powers up and asks for the code.
- A four-digit keypad appears on the display.
- Key in the code, one digit at a time, left to right.
- The unit checks the code automatically on the last digit.
- Right code in, lock screen gone - the radio is back to its usual self.
When it does not go to plan
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. 30-minute WAIT after three wrong attempts.
The label is not where I expected
Only the radio itself carries it - slide the unit forward and the label is right there. Top of the chassis label.
Locked again after it was fine
Nothing is broken. Any interruption to the 12V supply brings the lock screen back. Loss of 12V supply.
I am not sure I have the right variant
Close relatives of this unit look almost identical from the driver's seat. UDQ defaults to Mexican Spanish. No NAV tile - if maps draw on your screen, you have UDV. If your vehicle was sold in the US, you have UAQ rather than UDQ.
Note the four digits somewhere safe - they are permanent and reusable after any power cut.
