How to Read the Serial Number Off Your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ

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 stuck to the chassis of the radio itself.

On the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ: Top of the chassis label.

Three steps to the serial number:

  1. Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in seconds and nothing needs disconnecting.
  2. Find the white label on the housing and read the serial off it - it sits beside the barcode.
  3. Copy it into the form letter for letter; the checker catches any typo before payment.
What the serial looks like: TM9 plus 9 digits - TM9123456789 is a typical example.

Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ Overview

The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ 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 UKQ is the Japan-market Panasonic 8.4-inch non-navigation head unit (the "K" middle letter denotes Japan). Japanese UI, JIS-compliant tuner, no built-in maps.

Production of the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ ran across 2017-2020, mainly in Chrysler models built around the Panasonic multimedia platform, so plenty of these units are still on the road.

Typical features include:

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.

Like many factory-installed radios, the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ is secured with an anti-theft system. If power is interrupted after replacing or disconnecting the vehicle battery, the unit may demand the original radio code before it can be used again.

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

How Owners End Up on This Page

A locked Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ is almost always the result of one of four everyday situations, none of which mean anything is broken.

The seller 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 replaced

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

A radio from a scrapyard or an online sale comes with its own serial, so it needs its own code - use the serial on the newly installed unit.

After mechanical work

The repair went fine - the locked radio is just the side effect of the battery being off the car for a while.

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 arrives in seconds.

Where Was the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ Installed?

Vehicle Model Typical Production Years Notes
Jeep Cherokee KL, Wrangler JK (Japan non-nav) 2017-2020
Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 (Japan non-nav) 2017-2020

The vehicles listed above are the most common factory applications for the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ. Equipment packages and regional specifications vary, so verify the radio using its design, serial number or part number before requesting a code.

Entering the code on the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ

The code goes into the unit itself, not into the car's menus.

  1. Switch the ignition on and let the radio boot to its security screen.
  2. The code prompt appears with its own keypad.
  3. Enter the four digits in the order you received them.
  4. As soon as the last digit lands, the radio runs the check on its own.
  5. On a correct code the radio leaves security mode and plays again.

Things that can catch you out

The screen shows a wait timer

The timer is the radio protecting itself after failed entries - power on, patience, then try again. 30-minute WAIT after three wrong codes.

The label is not where I expected

Only the radio itself carries it - bring the unit out 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.

Same face, different radio

One glance at the label removes the doubt - worth doing before the order. Japan-only non-nav variant. If your radio boots in Japanese and tapping NAV returns "Feature not available", you have UKQ. Very low volume outside Japan.

The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.

Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ Radio Code - Questions and Answers

No. The code for the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UKQ 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.

That will not work. Two radios of the same model still have different serials and therefore different codes - use the serial of the unit currently installed.

You can, and it saves time: order now, let the countdown finish with power applied, then enter the code you already received.

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.

It cannot be done. The serial number is the single thing the algorithm works from - no serial, no code.

You get your money back. Send us a short video showing the serial number and the code being entered, and we refund the order in full - no argument, no restocking fee.
