How to find Chrysler Grand Caravan 2013 radio serial number

How to Find the Serial Number on Your 2013 Chrysler Grand Caravan Radio?

The initial step is to find the radio's serial number.

Depending on the radio unit used in your 2013 Grand Caravan, the S/N can be accessed either through the screen menu or by pulling the unit out and checking the label on the radio itself.

Follow the steps below to identify your S/N the right way.

Factory Radios on the 2013 Chrysler Grand Caravan

The 2013 Grand Caravan was offered with three legacy Mopar head units plus an optional rear-seat DVD entertainment module - the Uconnect 8.4 RA3/RA4 platform that arrived elsewhere in the Chrysler/Dodge range never came to this minivan. Identify yours below:

  • RES (Media Center 130) - base AM/FM/CD radio. Non-touchscreen unit with a small one-line monochrome display, hard preset buttons across the bottom and large rotary knobs for tune and volume. No NAV button, no large screen, no factory Bluetooth. The most common factory fit overall.
  • RBZ (Media Center 430 MyGIG) - 6.5-inch touchscreen, no nav. Mitsubishi-built color touchscreen with a glossy black bezel and hard keys for Radio, Media, Controls, More and Phone flanking the screen. There is no NAV soft key on the home menu because the unit has no navigation hardware. The dominant touchscreen variant on Crew/R/T-equivalent trims.
  • RHB (Media Center 430N MyGIG) - 6.5-inch touchscreen with Garmin nav. Externally identical to the RBZ - same Mitsubishi-built screen, same bezel, same hard buttons. Tell it apart on screen by a NAV soft key on the home menu, a Garmin splash logo at boot and a 28GB internal hard drive for stored music. Optional top-tier choice and the rarer of the two touchscreen units.
  • Optional rear-seat DVD entertainment. A separate 9-inch flip-down headliner screen with its own DVD player in the lower dash and wireless IR headphones; orderable independently of which head unit was specified.

Display-Based Serial Number Retrieval

Try the following for your 2013 Chrysler Grand Caravan:

The 2013 Chrysler Grand Caravan — America's best-selling minivan with Stow 'n Go seating — features the Uconnect 8.4" Classic (RA3). The Grand Caravan's center stack positions the climate controls in a row directly below the 8.4" touchscreen, making the Dealer Mode button combination easy to access.

Hold Climate Up, Climate Down, and Front Defrost simultaneously for 5 seconds with ignition in ACC or ON. Dealer Mode opens. Go to: System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number.

View the Serial by Pulling Out the Radio Unit

If the serial number cannot be accessed via display, use the hardware method.

Most Chrysler Grand Caravan original radios include a tag with the serial number printed on the casing.

Steps:

  1. Turn off the vehicle.
  2. Lift the trim surrounding the radio.
  3. Release the fasteners.
  4. Move the unit slightly out to access the label.

The serial number is usually located near the printed code.

If Dealer Mode is unavailable on the 2013 Chrysler Grand Caravan, remove the RA3 from the Grand Caravan's family-oriented center stack.

  1. Pry off the trim panel with a plastic trim tool.
  2. Remove the four Torx T20 mounting screws.
  3. Pull the unit forward to access the serial label on the top or side of the chassis.

The Grand Caravan's practical interior makes the trim removal relatively straightforward.

Locate Serial on Grand Caravan's Radio Chassis

The factory radios fitted to the 2013 Grand Caravan - typically the RES single-CD head unit, the RBZ MyGIG 430 (6.5-inch touchscreen), the RHB MyGIG 430N (6.5-inch touchscreen with Garmin navigation), and the optional REZ rear-seat DVD entertainment module - all carry their serial number on a printed chassis label. Because these legacy units do not expose the serial through the screen, the head unit needs to come out so the sticker on the case can be read.

  • Safety first: switch the ignition off, remove the key, disconnect the negative battery terminal, and wait several minutes before touching wiring; never disturb the yellow airbag/SRS connectors and use plastic trim tools so nothing shorts or breaks.
  • Tools you will need: plastic trim removal kit, Phillips screwdriver, small Torx bit set, flashlight, and a 7 mm socket on hand if any retaining bolts need backing out further into the dash.
  • Ease the centre dash bezel forward at the lower edge using a plastic trim tool and work up the sides; on the post-2011 Grand Caravan dash it is held in by four friction clips with no visible screws on the bezel itself.
  • Once the four clips release, set the bezel aside on a soft cloth - on this body it does not need to be unplugged from any harness to do the job.
  • Remove the four screws securing the radio chassis to the dash bracket.
  • Slide the radio forward and disconnect the antenna lead and the multi-pin power/data harnesses on the rear of the unit.
  • The serial number is printed on a barcode/sticker label on the top or side of the radio chassis, alongside the part number and Mopar/supplier markings; the optional REZ rear-seat DVD module wears the same kind of label on its own case.
  • Photograph the label up close in good light and double-check ambiguous characters such as 0/O and 1/I before submitting the serial.

  • T00AM – Harman VP2 RA3 (common on Grand Caravan)

Typical Serial Number Formats for 2013 Grand Caravan Radios

The factory radios fitted to the 2013 Grand Caravan are legacy Mopar head units rather than the later Uconnect 8.4 platform, so the prefix on the chassis label varies with which radio was specified and which supplier built it.

RBZ MyGIG 430 and RHB MyGIG 430N

  • These Mitsubishi-built MyGIG units typically print an alphanumeric serial on the case sticker.
  • Common Mopar/MyGIG prefixes seen on this generation include TM9 alongside other T-style codes.
  • The serial usually runs as a continuous block of letters and digits with no dashes or spaces.

RES (single-CD)

  • The base RES head unit usually carries a Mopar-style serial on a chassis sticker.
  • Treat the printed label on the unit itself as the authoritative reference and copy each character exactly.

REZ rear-seat DVD module

  • The optional REZ overhead DVD entertainment unit also wears a printed chassis label with its own serial.
  • If codes are needed for that module, transcribe its serial separately and avoid guessing unclear characters.

Step-by-Step Code Input Guide

Once the unlock code has been retrieved for a 2013 Grand Caravan radio, it can be entered straight at the head unit - no scan tool or dealer visit is required.

  • Limited attempts: Mopar head units only accept a small number of incorrect tries (commonly three) before going into a long lockout/WAIT state, so verify each digit before pressing it.
  • Place the ignition in RUN/ACC so the radio powers up while the engine stays off.
  • Wait for the display to show CODE, Enter Anti-Theft Code, or a similar prompt.
  • On the RBZ/RHB MyGIG (6.5-inch) units, key in the digits using the on-screen number pad; on the base RES head unit, press the numbered preset buttons (1-6) in sequence.
  • Confirm the entry with the on-screen OK/Enter button on the MyGIG units, or with the tune/menu knob (or labelled enter button) on the RES.
  • If WAIT or a similar timeout appears after the failed-attempt limit is reached, leave the radio powered with the ignition in RUN for a continuous 30 minutes before trying the correct code again.
