How it works
One number, three steps, a couple of minutes.
- 1 Find the serial number Look for it on the chassis label. The radio normally has to come forward a little - the wiring can stay plugged in.
- 2 Enter it in the form Copy it character for character. We check the format up front, so a typo never costs you anything.
- 3 Unlock the radio The code appears the moment the payment clears, and a copy goes to your email. Keep it - the same four digits work for the life of the radio.
Money-back guarantee if the code does not unlock your radio.
Same label, different radio: yours carries its own serial in this spot.

Identify Your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ Radio
Compare the design, controls, display and features listed below with your factory-installed radio - the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ is easy to identify once you know what to look for.
What the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ looks like:
- 8.4" touchscreen in the centre of the dash
- The home screen has no NAV tile and no maps on board
- Built for the Australia / Oceania market
- Sales code UMQ on the chassis label
- Label serial opening with TM9
It is the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ when:
- the chassis label carries the UMQ sales code
- the serial on the label starts with TM9
- the vehicle was built between 2017-2020
- the screen is the 8.4" touchscreen fitted to the Uconnect 8.4
UMQ is the Australian non-nav. If your radio supports DAB+ but maps return "Feature not available", you have UMQ. UMV is the nav sibling.
Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ Overview
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ is a factory-fitted 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 UMQ is the Australia/Oceania-market Panasonic 8.4-inch non-navigation head unit (the "M" middle letter denotes the Australia/NZ market). Australian English UI, AS/NZS-compliant FM bands and DAB+, no built-in maps.
Between 2017-2020 the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ appeared across a number of Chrysler models, usually on vehicles using the Panasonic multimedia platform. It stayed in production long enough to become a common sight in that generation of cars.
Common features on this unit:
8.4" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Bluetooth for hands-free calls and music streaming
USB input for music playback
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability depends on the vehicle configuration.
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ 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.
Platform details and official documentation are available from the official Uconnect site.
How to Read the Serial Number Off Your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ
Every Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ has a unique serial number, and the unlock code is derived 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 label.
Getting to the label:
- Pull the unit forward with release keys (cheap online) - the wiring can stay plugged in.
- Read the serial from the factory sticker on the housing, beside the barcode.
- Enter it exactly as it appears - no spaces, no dashes.

Four Ways a Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ Ends Up Locked
A locked Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ is almost always the result of one of four everyday situations, none of which mean anything is broken.
After mechanical work
The repair worked - the locked radio is just the side effect of the battery being off the car for a while.
A different unit is in the dash now
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.
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.
New battery, locked radio
Any battery work counts as a power cut to the radio. It locks automatically and waits for the original code before playing again.
All four roads lead to the same solution - read the serial off the unit, enter it above, and the original code arrives instantly.

Entering the code on the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ
The code goes straight into the radio, not into the car's menus.
- Give the radio power - key to accessory is enough - and wait for the code prompt.
- The screen shows a numeric keypad for the four digits.
- Punch in all four digits, first to last.
- Verification happens by itself once the fourth digit is in.
- The security screen disappears and the unit returns to normal operation.
Troubleshooting the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMQ
Too many wrong attempts
After a few wrong entries the radio stops accepting codes for a while - cutting power only restarts the clock. 30-minute WAIT after three wrong codes.
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 label.
The radio locked itself again
Expected behaviour: the security system trips again whenever power is cut. Loss of 12V supply.
This radio looks like several others
A few models in this family share the same face, so the label is what settles it. UMQ is the Australian non-nav. If your radio supports DAB+ but maps return "Feature not available", you have UMQ. UMV is the nav sibling.
Save the code: it stays valid, so the next battery change costs you nothing.
