Radio Serial Number Explained - Finding It on Your Chrysler

The useful fact to know is that factory radios use a unique S/N to identify each unit.

The anti-theft system links the code directly to the serial.

Different from vehicle-specific data such as VIN or registration info, it is not determined by the model or production year, so you'll be able to generate it even if you have an aftermarket radio.

Depending on the manufacturer and radio installed in your Chrysler 200, the access method is different.

Here are the most reliable ways to locate it.

Factory Radios Fitted to the 2012 Chrysler 200

Media Center 130 (RES) - Base CD/MP3

  1. The Media Center 130 (sales code RES) was the standard single-DIN CD/MP3 head unit on lower-trim 2012 200 sedans and convertibles.
  2. It includes AM/FM, single-disc CD, AUX-in, and a four-speaker output - no touchscreen, no Bluetooth, no USB on the base variant.

RBZ 430 MyGIG (Touchscreen, No Navigation)

  1. The 430 MyGIG (sales code RBZ) is the 6.5-inch touchscreen factory option, with internal hard drive, USB, AUX, SiriusXM readiness, and Bluetooth.
  2. It is the Mitsubishi-built unit running on the low-speed bus and is the most commonly upgraded factory radio on Touring and Limited trim 2012 200s.

REN 730N MyGIG (Navigation)

  1. The 730N MyGIG (sales code REN) is the rarer navigation-equipped 6.5-inch touchscreen variant.
  2. It uses the same chassis and head-unit family as the RBZ 430 but adds GPS and full-route guidance.

Trim Mapping

  1. LX trim - typically Media Center 130 (RES) only.
  2. Touring trim - 130 RES standard, RBZ 430 MyGIG available as an option.
  3. Limited trim - RBZ 430 MyGIG common, REN 730N possible with the navigation option.
  4. Convertible (S/Limited) - same factory line-up as the sedan.

Not Available on the 2012 200

  1. The Uconnect 8.4 RA3 and RA4 head units were not offered on the 2012 200; those arrived with the redesigned 2nd-gen 200 in 2015.

Check the Display First - Serial Retrieval Without Tools

These are the steps you need to follow for 2012 Chrysler 200:

The 2012 Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan used the MyGIG REP 430 as its base radio — a compact head unit fitted in the 200's FWD sedan platform. Like all MyGIG-era units, the serial cannot be shown on screen for this system.

The serial number must be read from the manufacturer sticker on the radio chassis. The 200's center stack is compact and angled compared to larger Chrysler sedans, so the radio sits at a slight angle once the trim comes off. The label is on the side or back of the unit.

Releasing the Radio Unit to View the S/N on the Tag

If the serial number cannot be accessed through menu, use the pull-out method.

Most Chrysler 200 original radios include a label with the serial number printed on the casing.

Step-by-Step Approach:

  1. Power down the vehicle.
  2. Remove the bezel surrounding the radio.
  3. Unscrew the mounting bolts.
  4. Slide the unit forward to access the label.

The serial number is usually located near the manufacturer sticker.

The 2012 Chrysler 200's radio sits in the compact, horizontal center stack. The 200 has a tighter center stack area than a full-size Chrysler, but removal is not difficult.

  1. Turn off the ignition and all accessories.
  2. Pry off the dash bezel surrounding the radio using a pry tool. The 200's interior trim are held by friction clips.
  3. Remove the four Phillips mounting screws.
  4. Slide the unit out to access the serial label on the side or back of the chassis.

The 200's radio is lighter and more compact than a full-size Chrysler unit. Avoid fully disconnecting the harness unless the label isn't visible.

Removing the Radio to See the S/N

  1. Generation context. The 2012 200 continues with the JS-platform dash and the same head-unit lineup as 2011 - 130 RES, RBZ 430 MyGIG, and REN 730N MyGIG.
  2. Where the serial lives. Each of these radios prints its serial number on a white label fixed to the metal chassis. The dash screen does not display it on these units, so removing the radio is the reliable approach.

Safety Notice

  1. Turn the ignition fully off and remove the key from the cylinder before opening the centre stack.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait several minutes so the SRS/airbag capacitors fully discharge.
  3. Avoid all yellow-jacketed wiring and yellow connectors behind the dash - those carry airbag signals and must not be probed.
  4. Use plastic trim tools rather than metal screwdrivers so you do not crack painted trim or scar the soft-touch dash.

Tools You Will Need

  1. T20 Torx bit and a short-handled driver or 1/4-inch ratchet for the four radio mounting screws.
  2. Plastic dash trim removal kit or a wide nylon pry wedge for the bezel clips.
  3. Small Phillips screwdriver as a backup for any sub-trim fasteners.
  4. Soft cloth or microfibre to protect the centre console while you work.

Removal Sequence

  1. Pop the upper dash trim free at its lower edge with the trim tool, then unclip the climate-control panel below the radio.
  2. Slide red locking clips on the radio harness connectors aside before pulling the chassis - this prevents bending pins on extraction.
  3. Work the trim tool around the radio bezel and pop the spring clips a section at a time until the bezel lifts away.
  4. Remove the four T20 Torx screws (two upper, two lower) holding the radio chassis to the dash cage and pull the unit straight back.
  5. Disconnect the antenna lead and the multi-pin connectors at the rear of the chassis, then lift the radio out.

Reading the Serial Label

  1. Inspect the top, side, and rear faces of the chassis until you find a white printed sticker bearing a barcode.
  2. The serial number is the longer alphanumeric line near or directly below the barcode - not the part number that begins with P05.
  3. Photograph the label up close so every character is captured before you reinstall.

Reassembly Tips

  1. Reconnect each plug fully so it audibly clicks home and route the wiring so nothing is pinched.
  2. Slide the radio back into the cage and start all four T20 screws by hand before tightening.
  3. Press the bezel and trim panels back on so each clip seats audibly, reconnect the battery, and cycle the ignition.

Standard Serial Number Patterns on This Radio

Expected serial patterns for the 2012 Chrysler 200 REP/RBZ radio:

  • TM9 – Typical Harman MyGIG format on the 200
  • T00AM – Alternate Harman variant
  • T00BE – Continental-made version fitted to some 200 trims

The serial is 14 alphanumeric characters. What not to use: starts with P05064 or 68.

Common S/N Formats Used on 2012 Chrysler 200 Radios

The 2012 200 ships with the same Mopar/Mitsubishi/Harman radio family as 2011, so the serial-number conventions are essentially identical. Serials are alphanumeric, normally start with the letter T, and run roughly 12 to 14 characters in total.

RBZ 430 MyGIG (Touchscreen)

  1. RBZ 430 units are Mitsubishi-built and most often carry serials beginning with T00AM or T00BE.
  2. The full string is typically a mix of letters and digits, similar in shape to T00AM2503T0504.
  3. The Mopar part number printed beside the serial commonly opens with P05 and is a separate field.

REN 730N MyGIG (Navigation)

  1. The 730N navigation MyGIG carries a serial from the same Mopar/Mitsubishi family - typically starting with T.
  2. The label sits on the chassis next to a barcode and a part-number block; treat the longer alphanumeric line as the serial.

Media Center 130 (RES)

  1. The 130 RES base radio carries a Mopar/Harman-style serial on its chassis sticker, normally beginning with T.
  2. The label also lists a model designator and a Mopar part number for cross-reference.

Reading Tips

  1. Anything starting with P is a part number rather than the serial.
  2. Watch out for the digit 0 versus the letter O - they look similar in this print but produce different unlock codes.
  3. Copy every character exactly as printed, including any leading zeros, because a single wrong character will produce a wrong unlock code.

How Our Radio Code Generator Works for 2012 Chrysler 200

To get the code, you'll take only a few simple steps.

  1. Find your radio's serial number - this is the only information required to generate the correct unlock code.
    Unlike when contacting the dealer, no VIN is needed.
  2. When you've found the S/N, type it into the form above.
    The system checks it against a database of supported units and automatically catches the matching security code.
  3. In most cases, the code will appear instantly on the screen after payment and is also sent to your email , just in case.
    If manual verification is required (rare situations), you'll be notified before checkout.
  4. When you receive it, just enter it into the radio to restore the functionality.

Got the Code? Here's How to Enter It

After generating the correct unlock code based on the serial number, you can restore default functionality by entering it into the unit.

The code entry process depends on the head unit design, but most 2012 200 systems follow a similar structure using preset buttons, touch controls, or rotary knobs - depending on if it's a factory or an aftermarket unit.

You will typically see ENTER CODE displayed on screen.

Detailed Input Instructions for 200 2012

On the 2012 Chrysler 200, entering the radio code is done via the touchscreen:

  1. Turn ignition to ON. The display shows "ENTER CODE" or "CODE".
  2. Tap each digit to enter your 4-digit unlock code.
  3. The radio unlocks automatically after the 4th digit — no OK button needed.

3 wrong attempts cause a 60-minute lockout. Leave power on for the full duration without switching off.

Step-by-Step Correct Entering Process

From the 2012 model year onward Mopar factory radios on the 200 ship with the anti-theft feature active by default, so any battery disconnect or radio swap will trigger the CODE prompt on next power-up. Enter the code carefully - attempts are limited.

Limited Attempt Warning

  1. The radio allows only three consecutive incorrect attempts before it enters a WAIT state.
  2. Do not guess - verify each digit on the screen against your written code before submitting.
  3. Once in WAIT, the ignition must remain in RUN for around 30 to 60 continuous minutes before another attempt is accepted (the vehicle may be driven during this time).

Code Entry Steps

  1. Turn the ignition to ACC or RUN so the radio powers up and shows the CODE screen.
  2. On the base 130 RES, press preset button 1 the required number of times to set the first digit of the four-digit code.
  3. Use preset button 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third, and 4 for the fourth.
  4. On the RBZ 430 or REN 730N MyGIG touchscreen, tap each digit on the on-screen number pad in turn.
  5. Confirm the displayed digits match your code exactly, then press and hold the OK/ENTER control (or the rightmost preset on touchscreen RBZ/REN variants) for two to five seconds to validate.

Behaviour on Incorrect Entry

  1. If WAIT appears, leave the ignition in RUN for the full cool-down before retrying.
  2. Do not unplug the battery during the wait - it does not reset the lockout.
  3. If repeated correct entries still fail, stop and re-verify the serial and code with your provider rather than continuing to guess.

Why Is the Radio Asking for a Code?

The 2012 Chrysler 200 radio activates its anti-theft whenever power is cut. It's by design — a disconnected 200 radio is useless to a thief without the code.

Most common trigger: battery replacement or terminal disconnect. Other causes:

  • Failed fuse after electrical work
  • Buying the 200 pre-owned without a known code
  • Battery disconnect for service or repairs
  • Battery dead from sitting

The code comes from the radio serial number only — not the VIN.

Troubleshooting Common Radio Problems - 200 2012

The 200's radio label shows both the serial number and part number. Use only the 14-character serial beginning with TM9, T00AM, or T00BE. The part number starting with P05064 or 68.

Re-read the label, especially 0 vs O. Reach out for a free re-check if needed.

3 wrong entries lock the 200's radio into a 60-minute lockout. The screen shows "ENTER CODE" but won't accept input.

Keep ignition in ON or ACC for the full 60 minutes. Turning off the ignition restarts the timer.

If no code prompt appears, the anti-theft hasn't activated. It only activates after a power interruption.

Trigger the prompt by briefly pulling the radio fuse, then reconnect and turn to ON. "ENTER CODE" shows at boot.

The 200's MyGIG REP/RBZ 430 uses touchscreen code entry. Press each digit on the touchscreen keypad. No preset buttons involved. Auto-unlocks after the 4th digit.

The label on the chassis: serial number = 14 chars starting with TM9, T00AM, or T00BE. Part number (do not use) = starts with P05064 or 68.
