- On a label in the door pillar.
- In the user guide, often on a separate code card.

Chrysler Dealer Assistance Option
Dealerships can generate your radio code by checking the VIN in their system.

This is the official way to restore access to the factory radio.
Drawbacks:
- Some imported or older radios may need extra verification.
- The lookup is often not instant and may require waiting.
- You may need to contact service support during business hours.
- Dealers frequently charge a service fee (It may cost more than 100$).
Finding the S/N on a Radio
The only thing you'll need to get the code is your radio's radio serial. No VIN is needed.
On almost all Chrysler models, you can find it in one of the following locations:
- Visible on the radio screen (sometimes by using button combinations)
- On the radio housing itself - you'll need to extract it and write down serial (which is usually simple)
Search for a label such as: Serial Num. or SN.
1. Getting Sebring's S/N on the Display
The Chrysler Sebring (2007–2010) was sold as both a sedan and a convertible. The same radio was used across both body styles — a MyGig system or a basic AM/FM/CD unit depending on trim, but neither version has a Dealer Mode screen method.
Whether you have the sedan or the soft-top convertible, the process is the same: the radio needs to come out physically. The serial number sticker is on the top or side of the radio chassis. Look for a 14-character alphanumeric code (e.g. T00AM394958584).
Convertible note The removable top does not affect radio access — the centre stack is identical in both variants. Follow the standard removal steps in the guide below.
2. Locating the S/N on the Radio Body
The serial number is usually found on a sticker attached to the head unit.
Step 1: Turn off the the ignition.
Step 2: After that, take off the surrounding panel.
Step 3: Then release the mounting clips.
Step 4: Carefully pull the radio forward partially (Be careful not to damage the cables).
Step 5: Search for the serial on the side of the unit.
Step 6: Write down the full Serial Number carefully and come back to our website so that we can generate your code.
Important: Differentiate the Serial Number and the Part Number!

Most Common Chrysler Sebring Serial Formats
Your Chrysler Sebring radio serial may be in T00AM format (14 characters, e.g. T00AM394958584), TM9 format (e.g. TM9123456789), or A2C format on newer Uconnect systems. The serial is printed on a label on the radio housing.
Entering the Radio Code on Chrysler Sebring
You need to input the code into the system to unlock your Chrysler's radio.
In the locked unit, the screen usually displays a security message.
Based on the radio, use radio presets, control knob, or touchscreen to set each digit, then confirm the code to reactivate the audio system.
To enter the unlock code on your Uconnect radio:
- When the radio is locked, the screen will display "ENTER CODE" or show four dashes (----).
- Use the on-screen keypad (touchscreen models) or the preset buttons (non-touchscreen models) to enter each digit of your 4-digit code.
- After entering all 4 digits, the radio unlocks automatically – no need to press a confirm button.
Tip: Ensure you enter the code carefully. Three incorrect attempts will trigger a temporary lockout.
Older non-touchscreen Chrysler radios – MODE + SCAN priming
Pre-touchscreen head units (REF, REN, RBZ era fitted to 2007 to 2012 Chrysler 200, 300, PT Cruiser, Town and Country, and Sebring) use a different entry path:
- Turn the radio on with the ignition in ACC or ON. The display reads CODE.
- Press and hold MODE and SCAN together until the display shows 0000.
- Use presets 1, 2, 3, 4 to cycle each of the four digits in turn (preset 1 advances the first digit, preset 2 the second, and so on).
- When all four digits match your code, press SEEK to confirm. The radio unlocks and returns to normal play mode.
