Why Did the Radio Lock and Ask for a Code?
The 2015 Chrysler Town & Country radio activates anti-theft after power is cut. The Town & Country radio locks the same way as any Uconnect — battery replacement triggers the lock.
Typical trigger: battery replacement or disconnect. Other causes:
- Blown radio fuse
- Buying the Town & Country pre-owned without a code
- Battery disconnect for service
- Battery dead from storage
Code comes from the radio serial number — not the VIN.
Can't Find Your Unit's Serial Number? Follow The Steps Below for Chrysler Town & Country 2015
The starting step is writing down the radio S/N.
Most people assume the code depends on the Chrysler model or year, but actually, the unlock process relies on the unique radio unit's serial number.
Each radio has its own serial tied to the security system.
This is even better, because if you have bought an aftermarket radio, the VIN or other vehicle-specific data wouldn't be of much use.
Depending on the radio used, you can see the serial directly from the display or by checking the label on the radio chassis.
Factory Radios on the 2015 Chrysler Town & Country
The 2015 Town & Country carried the same three-tier MyGIG/RES factory radio lineup; the RT minivan was approaching the end of its production run with no move to the Uconnect 8.4 platform that other Chrysler vehicles received that year. The three-letter sales code is printed in the lower right corner of the radio faceplate near the AUX jack.
RES - Media Center 130 (CD/MP3): Standard on Touring base trim. Single-DIN non-touchscreen unit with twin rotary knobs, monochrome segment display, CD slot and front AUX input. SiriusXM-ready, no Bluetooth from the factory.
RBZ - Media Center 430 (MyGIG, non-nav): Standard or optional on Touring-L and higher trims. 6.5" colour resistive touchscreen, CD/DVD slot, internal hard drive, integrated Bluetooth and SiriusXM. Mitsubishi-built head unit, with no NAV button on the bezel.
RHB - Media Center 430N (MyGIG with Garmin Navigation): Optional on Touring-L, standard on Limited and Limited Platinum. Same 6.5" touchscreen as the RBZ but with a dedicated NAV hard key on the bezel and a GPS antenna lead on the back, mapping powered by Garmin.
REZ - Rear-Seat Video Entertainment System (standard): Single- or dual-screen overhead/rear-seat DVD/Blu-ray module mounted separately from the head unit; each video module wears its own chassis label and serial.
The Town & Country uses the same legacy MyGIG family it has carried since 2011 - no Uconnect 8.4 RA3/RA4 hardware was offered on this model.
Display-Based Serial Number Retrieval
These are the steps you should follow for 2015 Chrysler Town & Country:
The 2015 Chrysler Town & Country — Chrysler's premium minivan with leather-appointed interior and available wood trim — comes with the Uconnect 8.4" Classic (RA3). The Town & Country's center stack mounts the display in the upper center stack with the climate controls underneath the screen.
Press and hold Climate Up, Climate Down, and Front Defrost simultaneously for 5 seconds (ignition ACC or ON). Dealer Mode opens. Navigate to: System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number.
Releasing the Radio Unit to View the S/N on the Tag
If the serial number cannot be accessed via display, use the pull-out method.
Most Chrysler Town & Country original radios include a label with the serial number printed on the casing.
The process:
- Remove key from ignition.
- Gently detach surrounding panel pieces.
- Loosen screws holding the radio.
- Pull forward to inspect the label.
If Dealer Mode is unavailable on the 2015 Chrysler Town & Country, the RA3 needs to be physically removed from the premium minivan dash.
- Pry off the bezel panel with a plastic pry tool. The Town & Country's upscale panel snaps on.
- Remove the 4 Torx T20 mounting screws.
- Slide the unit out to access the serial label on the top or side of the chassis.
Pulling Out the 2015 Town & Country Radio to Read the Serial
The 2015 Town & Country continues with the post-2011 one-piece dash, so the radio comes out cleanly with a bezel pry and four Phillips screws. The factory head units for this year are the RES base CD radio, the RBZ 430 MyGIG, the RHB 430N MyGIG with navigation, and the standard REZ rear-seat DVD module - all Mopar-supplied. None of these legacy radios expose the serial through the screen, so the unit has to come out for the sticker on the chassis to be read.
Safety first. Turn the ignition fully off, pull the key out of the cylinder, and let the vehicle sit for a moment so accessory circuits power down. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait several minutes before touching anything in the dash so the SRS capacitors discharge. Avoid all yellow-jacketed wiring and yellow connectors - those carry airbag circuits and must not be probed or pulled. Use plastic trim tools instead of metal blades against the bezel so the soft-touch dash stays unmarked.
Tools you will need. A #2 Phillips screwdriver for the four radio mounting screws; a plastic dash trim removal tool or wide nylon pry wedge for the centre bezel clips; a small flat-blade trim tool as a backup for stubborn clips; and a soft cloth to protect the centre console while you work.
Removal overview. Starting at one of the upper corners of the radio bezel, push the trim tool behind the panel and gently work it outwards to release the spring clips. Walk the tool around the perimeter so the bezel pops free a section at a time, then tilt it forward and unplug any switch harness on its back. Set the bezel face-down on the cloth and locate the four Phillips screws around the radio face that hold the chassis to the dash cage. Loosen and remove all four screws, pull the radio outward a few inches, then disconnect the antenna lead and the rectangular multi-pin harnesses at the rear.
Where the serial sits. Inspect the top, side, and rear of the chassis until you find a white printed sticker bearing a barcode. The serial number sits next to or directly below the barcode and is the longer alphanumeric string - not the part number. The Mopar part number on the same label will start with P (typically P05091 on RES, P0506x on RBZ/RHB). The standard REZ rear-seat DVD module wears the same kind of printed label on its own case.
Tips. Photograph the entire label so the model, part number, and serial are all captured for reference, and double-check ambiguous characters such as 0/O and 1/I before transcribing the serial.

Typical Radio Serial Prefixes and Formats
Year Chrysler Town & Country RA3 serial formats:
T00AM– Harman VP2 RA3 (standard on Town & Country)T00BE– Continental versionTM9– Earlier Harman production
Serial is 14 alphanumeric characters. Skip the part number (starts with P05064 or 68).
Typical Serial Number Formats for 2015 Town & Country Radios
The factory radios fitted to the 2015 Town & Country are legacy Mopar units rather than the later Uconnect 8.4 platform, so the prefix on the chassis label depends on which radio was specified and which supplier built it. Serials usually run as a continuous block of letters and digits with no dashes or spaces.
RBZ 430 MyGIG and RHB 430N MyGIG (Touchscreens)
These Mitsubishi-built MyGIG units typically print an alphanumeric serial on the case sticker. Common Mopar/MyGIG prefixes seen on this generation include T00AM, T00BE, and TM9 alongside other T-style codes. The Mopar part number printed beside the serial commonly starts with P0506 on these touchscreen heads.
RES (Single-Disc CD)
The base RES head unit usually carries a Mopar-style serial on the chassis sticker. The accompanying Mopar part number on RES units in the 2015 Town & Country is typically in the P05091xxxAx family. Treat any string clearly separated from the part number, near or below the barcode, as the serial.
REZ Rear-Seat DVD Module
The standard 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.
Reading the Label Correctly
Anything that begins with P is a part number and is not the serial. Anything that starts with T is typically the serial - copy every character exactly as printed. Watch the digit 0 versus the letter O, and capture every leading zero, since a single wrong character produces a wrong unlock code.
Inputting the Security Code
When you obtain the correct unlock code based on the S/N, you can restore normal functionality by entering it into the unit.
The code entry process depends on the control layout, but most 2015 Town & Country 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 CODE displayed on screen.
Entering Process Explained
To unlock the 2015 Chrysler Town & Country Uconnect 8.4":
- Turn ignition to ON. Screen shows "ENTER CODE".
- Use the touchscreen keypad to enter your 4-digit code.
- Radio unlocks automatically after the 4th digit.
3 wrong attempts trigger a 60-minute lockout. Keep ignition ON throughout. Turning off restarts the timer.
Entering the 4-Digit Code on a 2015 Town & Country Radio
Once the unlock code has been retrieved for a 2015 Town & Country radio, the digits can be entered straight at the head unit - no scan tool or dealer visit is required. The radio is strict about wrong attempts, so type carefully.
Limited attempts. The radio allows roughly three consecutive wrong tries before it enters a timed WAIT state. To clear the wait, the radio must remain powered with the ignition in the RUN position for around 30 minutes; do not pull the key or disconnect the battery during this window. Verify each digit on the screen against the written code before submitting.
Entering the code. Turn the ignition to the ACC or RUN position so the radio powers up and shows the CODE or Enter Anti-Theft Code prompt. On the RBZ/RHB MyGIG (6.5") units, key the four digits using the on-screen number pad and confirm with the on-screen OK/Enter button. On the base RES head unit, press preset button 1 the required number of times for the first digit, button 2 for the second, button 3 for the third, and button 4 for the fourth, then press and hold the rightmost preset (or labelled enter button) for two to five seconds to validate.
If the code is rejected. Wait for any countdown shown on the screen to fully clear before retrying - the lock-out gets longer with repeated wrong tries. Re-check each digit against the chassis-label serial, then re-enter exactly as written. If repeated correct entries still fail, stop and re-verify the serial number rather than continuing to guess.
