- 1 Track down the number on the unit On the factory sticker on the radio housing, next to the barcode. Most units have to come out of the dash - release keys cost a few dollars.
- 2 Type it in the form Enter the full serial with your email address. A format check flags mistakes before checkout.
- 3 Get your code You get the digits immediately, with an email copy for safe keeping. Type them into the radio and it plays again.
If it does not work, you get your money back.
This is an example label - the one in your car sits in the same place and looks much like it.

Check If This Is Your Radio
Before requesting a radio code it is important to confirm the exact model. Compare the design, controls, display and features below with the unit in your dashboard.
How to spot it:
- Centre-stack 8.4" touchscreen
- A navigation unit - maps installed from the factory
- Shipped for the Australia / Oceania market
- UMV printed on the factory label
- Serial number starting with TM9
You most likely have the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV if:
- UMV appears as the sales code on the label
- the label serial begins with TM9
- the car left the factory between 2017-2020
- the screen is the 8.4" touchscreen fitted to the Uconnect 8.4
UMV is the Australian nav. UMQ is the non-nav sibling. The map data covers Australia and New Zealand; if your maps cover Europe instead, you have UGV.
What Is the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV Radio?
Fitted as factory equipment in selected Chrysler models, the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV handles audio playback and vehicle integration out of the box. Depending on the version, it can also add Bluetooth, touchscreen operation, CD/DVD playback, navigation or wider multimedia support.
Uconnect 8.4 UMV is the Australia/Oceania-market Panasonic 8.4-inch navigation head unit - Australian English UI, AS/NZS DAB+ support, built-in Australia/NZ map data, NAV tile on the home screen.
Look for the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV in Chrysler vehicles from 2017-2020. It came with the Panasonic multimedia platform and is still found in many cars from that period.
Common features on this unit:
8.4" touchscreen
AM/FM radio
Built-in navigation with factory maps
Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming
USB input for music playback
SiriusXM satellite radio*
Steering wheel control support
Anti-theft security code
*Availability varies with the vehicle configuration.
The Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV 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.
For the manufacturer's own documentation of this platform, see the official Uconnect site.
Locating the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV Serial Number
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 printed on the housing of the radio itself.
On this unit: Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Three 7mm bolts release the radio.
How to reach the number:
- Bring the radio out of its slot; release keys do it in a minute and nothing needs disconnecting.
- The serial is on the chassis sticker, usually right next to the barcode - copy it down.
- Type it into the form exactly as printed, with no spaces or dashes.

What Usually Triggers the Code Screen
Almost all of the Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV codes we generate follow one of these four events.
Back from the mechanic, radio locked
Mechanics routinely disconnect the battery before electrical work. The car comes back fixed and the radio comes back locked - normal, not a fault.
A used car with a locked radio
Second and third owners rarely get the code card. The radio itself still carries everything needed - its serial number.
New battery, locked radio
The most common trigger by far: the moment the battery is swapped, the radio forgets it was ever unlocked and asks for its code on the next start.
A unit from a breaker
Replacement radios are the textbook 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 way out is the same in every case: serial number in, original code out, within seconds.

How to enter your Chrysler Uconnect 8.4 UMV code
Nothing to install and no tools needed - just the four digits.
- 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 runs the check 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. 30-minute "INCORRECT CODE - WAIT" timer after three wrong attempts.
I cannot find the serial number
It is printed on the housing, so the unit normally has to come forward to read it. Top of the chassis on a white sticker. Three 7mm bolts release the radio.
Why it happened again
That is normal - the anti-theft system re-arms every time the unit loses power. Battery service.
Same face, different radio
One glance at the label removes the doubt - worth doing before the order. UMV is the Australian nav. UMQ is the non-nav sibling. The map data covers Australia and New Zealand; if your maps cover Europe instead, you have UGV.
The code belongs to the radio and never changes, so keep it somewhere safe once you have it.
