What Caused the Radio to Lock?

The 2013 Chrysler 200 radio activates its anti-theft whenever power is cut. The anti-theft is intentional — a disconnected 200 radio is useless to a thief without the code.

Usual cause: battery replacement or terminal disconnect. Other causes:

  • Blown fuse after electrical work
  • Buying the 200 used without a known code
  • Battery disconnect during service or repairs
  • Battery completely drained from sitting

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

Fast Chrysler 200 Radio Unlock Process Explained

  • Rather than relying on Chrysler dealership lookup or online threads you can retrieve the code online with the radio serial number.
  • Start by finding the serial number. It is always present on the unit itself, and in some cases it can be visible on the 200's radio screen.
  • Type it into the generator above, and our system will calculate the correct 2013 200 unlock code.
  • When you receive the code, input it using 200's radio controls to unlock the system fully.
  • The entire process takes only a few minutes and requires no VIN, documents, or technical knowledge.

Understanding the Radio Serial Number and How to Locate It on 2013 200

The first step is to find and write down the radio's serial number.

Based on the head unit type used in your 2013 200, the S/N can usually be found either through the display menu or by pulling the unit out and checking the label on the radio itself.

Follow the steps below to identify your S/N quickly.

Original Equipment Radios on the 2013 Chrysler 200

  • Generation context. The 2013 200 continues on the JS platform with no major head-unit changes versus 2011-2012.
  • Three radios on the option sheet. Buyers chose between the Media Center 130 (RES), the RBZ 430 MyGIG touchscreen, and the rarer REN 730N MyGIG with navigation.

Media Center 130 (RES) - Base CD/MP3

  • Sales code RES, single-DIN, single-disc CD with AM/FM, AUX-in, and a four-speaker output.
  • Standard on LX-trim sedans and on convertible Touring trims at base specification.

RBZ 430 MyGIG (Touchscreen)

  • Sales code RBZ, 6.5-inch touchscreen with internal hard drive, USB, AUX, Bluetooth, and SiriusXM readiness.
  • Mitsubishi-built and the most common touchscreen factory radio on Touring and Limited 2013 200s.

REN 730N MyGIG (Navigation)

  • Sales code REN, identical 6.5-inch touchscreen format with GPS navigation added.
  • Less common on the 200 - typically a Limited-trim option with the navigation package.

Not Fitted to the 2013 200

  • The 2013 200 was not offered with the Uconnect 8.4 RA3 or RA4 head units. Those arrived only with the all-new 2nd-gen 200 in 2015.
  • The 2013 Dart and Grand Cherokee did get the new RA-series Uconnect that year - but the 200 carried over with the older MyGIG family.

Find Your Serial on the Radio Display

The method for 2013 Chrysler 200 is this:

The 2013 Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan used the MyGIG REP 430 as its base radio — a compact head unit fitted in the 200's front-wheel-drive sedan platform. Like all MyGIG-era units, the serial cannot be shown on screen for this system.

The serial number is only accessible 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 is removed. The label is on the top or side of the unit.

Find the S/N by Pulling Out the Radio Unit

If the serial number cannot be accessed via display, use the pull-out method.

Most Chrysler 200 OEM radios include a tag with the serial number printed on the housing.

The process:

  • Shut down the car.
  • Lift away surrounding mounting frame.
  • Release clips holding the radio.
  • Slide outward to inspect the label.

The 2013 Chrysler 200's radio is mounted in the compact, horizontal center stack. The 200 has a more modest dash layout than a full-size Chrysler, but removal is manageable.

  1. Turn off the ignition and any powered accessories.
  2. Pry off the dash bezel around the radio using a pry tool. The 200's interior trim are secured with friction clips.
  3. Unscrew the four Phillips mounting screws.
  4. Pull the unit forward to read the serial label on the top or side of the chassis.

The 200's radio is smaller than a full-size Chrysler unit. Avoid fully disconnecting the harness unless necessary.

Releasing the Unit to Access the S/N on the Tag

  • Three radios, same cage. The 130 RES, RBZ 430 MyGIG, and REN 730N MyGIG all sit in the same single-DIN dash opening on the JS-platform 200.
  • Serial location. The serial number is printed on a white label on the radio chassis - it is not exposed on the dash screen on these units, so pulling the radio is the reliable way to read it.

Safety Notice

  • Switch the ignition fully off and remove the key before opening the centre stack.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait several minutes so the SRS/airbag system fully discharges.
  • Stay clear of any yellow-jacketed wiring or yellow connectors behind the dash - those carry SRS signals and must not be pulled or probed.
  • Use plastic trim tools rather than metal screwdrivers against the bezel and dash trim.

Tools You Will Need

  • T20 Torx bit and a short-handled driver for the four radio mounting screws.
  • Plastic dash trim removal kit or a wide nylon pry wedge for the bezel clips.
  • Small Phillips screwdriver as a backup.
  • Soft cloth or microfibre to protect the centre console while you work.

Removal Overview

  • Pop the upper dash trim free with the trim tool, then unclip the climate-control panel below the radio - on the JS 200 these often release as separate pieces.
  • Work the trim tool around the radio bezel and release the spring clips a section at a time until the bezel lifts away.
  • Remove the four T20 Torx screws (two upper, two lower) holding the radio chassis to the dash cage and pull the unit straight back.
  • Slide the red locking clips on the connectors aside, then disconnect the antenna lead and the multi-pin connectors at the rear before lifting the radio clear.

Where the Serial Is Printed

  • Look at the top, side, and rear faces of the metal chassis for a white printed sticker carrying a barcode.
  • The serial number is the longer alphanumeric line near or directly under the barcode and is normally separate from a Mopar part number that begins with P05.
  • On a RBZ 430 or REN 730N the label often sits on the upper face of the chassis; on the 130 RES it is more often on the side or rear panel.

Reinstallation Tips

  • Photograph the label so the part number, model designator, and serial are all captured before you reinstall.
  • Reconnect each plug fully so it audibly clicks home, slide the radio back into its cage, and start the four T20 Torx screws by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  • Press the bezel and climate trim back on so every clip seats audibly, reconnect the battery, and cycle the ignition to verify the radio prompts for its code.

Typical Serial Number Examples for 2013 200

Expected serial patterns for the 2013 Chrysler 200 REP/RBZ radio:

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

The serial is 14 alphanumeric characters. The part number: starts with P05064 or 68.

Typical Serial Number Examples for 2013 Chrysler 200

Serial numbers on the 2013 Chrysler 200 factory radios are alphanumeric strings printed on a white chassis label alongside a barcode. They typically begin with the letter T and span roughly 12 to 14 characters in total, with small variations between production batches and supplier runs.

RBZ 430 MyGIG (Touchscreen)

  • RBZ 430 units are Mitsubishi-built and most often carry serials beginning with T00AM or T00BE.
  • A typical string looks similar in shape to T00AM3444T0105.
  • The Mopar part number printed beside the serial commonly opens with P05 and is a separate field from the serial.

REN 730N MyGIG (Navigation)

  • The 730N MyGIG carries a serial from the same Mopar/Mitsubishi family, typically beginning with T.
  • Treat the longer alphanumeric line as the serial; ignore the shorter part-number block beside it.

Media Center 130 (RES)

  • The 130 RES base radio carries a Mopar/Harman-style serial on its chassis sticker, normally beginning with T and printed beside or below the barcode.
  • The label also lists a model designator and a Mopar part number for cross-reference.

Reading the Label Correctly

  • Anything that begins with P is a part number rather than the serial - the serial almost always begins with T on these Mopar/Mitsubishi/Harman-built radios.
  • Copy every character exactly as printed, including any leading zeros, because a single wrong character will produce a wrong unlock code.
  • Pay particular attention to the digit 0 versus the letter O, which can look similar in this print.

How Code Entry Works on Your Chrysler Radio

Now that you've found the radio serial and generated the unlock code, the last part is entering it into your radio.

Chrysler OEM units display a locked screen when ready for input.

The process is straightforward, but button layouts and confirmation methods may change depending on the radio version installed in your 200.

Entering Process

On the 2013 Chrysler 200, entering the radio code is done via the touchscreen:

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

3 wrong attempts cause a 60-minute lockout. Keep the ignition ON for the full duration without switching off.

Step-by-Step Code Input Guide

The 2013 Chrysler 200 ships with anti-theft active by default on its factory radios, so any time the radio is interrupted from power it will prompt for the security code on the next start. Type carefully - attempts are limited.

Limited Attempt Warning

  • The unit only allows three consecutive wrong tries before a timed WAIT state kicks in.
  • Verify each digit on the screen against your code sheet before pressing OK.
  • If you see the WAIT message, leave the ignition in RUN for the documented cool-down period (around 30 to 60 minutes) - do not unplug the battery, as that does not clear the lockout.

Code Entry Procedure

  • Turn the ignition to ACC or RUN to power up the radio and wait for the CODE or Please Enter Anti-Theft Code prompt.
  • On the base 130 RES, press preset 1 the required number of times to set the first digit, then preset 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third, and 4 for the fourth.
  • On the RBZ 430 or REN 730N MyGIG touchscreen, tap each digit on the on-screen number pad in turn.
  • Confirm the displayed digits match your code exactly before pressing and holding the OK/ENTER control (or the rightmost preset on touchscreen variants) for two to five seconds to submit.

Behaviour on Incorrect Entry

  • The screen will indicate that the code is wrong and may show a WAIT message.
  • Do not retry until the cool-down has fully cleared - the radio must remain powered with the ignition in RUN throughout that window (the vehicle may be driven during this time).
  • If repeated correct entries still fail after the wait clears, stop and re-verify the serial and code with your provider rather than continuing to guess.

Troubleshooting Common Radio Problems - 200 2013

The 200's radio label carries both the S/N and P/N. 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.

The 200's MyGIG REP/RBZ 430 uses touchscreen code entry. Tap 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.

3 wrong entries put the 200's radio into a 60-minute timeout. The screen shows "ENTER CODE" but rejects all input.

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

If no code prompt appears, the anti-theft isn't engaged. The prompt only fires after a battery disconnect.

Force the lock by briefly disconnecting the battery, then reconnect and turn to ON. "ENTER CODE" shows within seconds of startup.
