Understanding the Radio Serial Number and How to Locate It on 2013 Voyager
The important fact to know is that factory radios use a specific S/N to identify each unitindividually.
The security system matches the code directly to the serial.
Different from vehicle-specific data such as VIN or registration information, it is not determined by the model or production year, so you'll be able to get it even if you have a radio that you bought afterwards.
Depending on the maker and radio installed in your Chrysler Voyager, the retrieval method is different.
Here are the most reliable ways to find it.
Identify Your 2013 Voyager's Factory Radio
The 2013 Voyager - sold as Chrysler Voyager in Canada and other right-of-Atlantic markets and as Lancia Voyager across continental Europe - kept the same RT minivan radio fleet with no hardware updates. The Uconnect 8.4 platform never came to this van. The base RES (Media Center 130) is the AM/FM/CD radio: non-touchscreen, single-line monochrome display, large rotary tune/volume knobs and a row of hard preset buttons - no screen, no NAV button, no factory Bluetooth. Common on lower trims. The RBZ (430 MyGIG) is the volume touchscreen variant: a 6.5-inch color touchscreen with a glossy black bezel and hard keys (Radio, Media, Controls, More, Phone) flanking the screen, but no NAV soft key on the touchscreen home page because it lacks navigation hardware. The top-tier RHB (430N MyGIG) uses the same 6.5-inch screen and bezel as the RBZ and is indistinguishable from the outside; identification is software-side - a NAV soft key on the home menu, the Garmin splash logo at startup and a 28GB hard drive for ripped music. On European-market Lancia Voyager builds the navigation MyGIG was ordered as RHW, with European mapping and market-specific tuners. The optional rear-seat DVD entertainment system - an overhead 9-inch flip-down screen with a separate DVD player in the lower dash and wireless headphones - was independent of the head unit and orderable on higher trims.
Quick Method: Find the Serial Number on the Screen
The method for 2013 Chrysler Voyager is this:
The 2013 Chrysler Voyager — Chrysler's value minivan — comes equipped with the Uconnect 8.4" Classic (RA3). Despite being the lower-trim minivan, the RA3 Dealer Mode is supported.
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.
Serial Number on the Unit
If the serial number cannot be accessed via display, use the pull-out method.
Most Chrysler Voyager factory radios include a label with the serial number printed on the housing.
Step-by-Step Approach:
- Turn off the vehicle.
- Remove the dashboard frame surrounding the radio.
- Release the mounting bolts.
- Pull the unit outward to access the label.
The serial number is usually located near the manufacturer sticker.
If Dealer Mode is unavailable on the 2013 Chrysler Voyager, remove the RA3 from the Voyager's practical center stack.
- Remove the bezel panel with a plastic trim tool.
- Remove the 4 Phillips mounting screws.
- Slide the unit forward to access the serial label on the top or side of the radio chassis.
Serial Number on the Unit
The factory head units offered on the 2013 Voyager - typically the RES single-CD radio, the RBZ MyGIG 430 (6.5-inch touchscreen), the RHB / RHW MyGIG 430N (6.5-inch touchscreen with navigation), and the optional REZ rear-seat DVD entertainment module - all keep their serial on a printed chassis label. Because these legacy radios do not expose the serial on screen, the unit has to come out for the sticker to be read.
Safety first. Turn the ignition off, remove the key, disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait several minutes before touching wiring. Avoid the yellow airbag/SRS connectors entirely 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 for any deeper retaining bolts.
Removal overview. Ease the centre dash bezel forward at the lower edge using a plastic pry tool and work up the sides; on the RT minivan dash the bezel is held by four friction clips with no visible screws. With the four clips released, lay the bezel on a soft cloth - on this body it does not need to be unplugged from any harness to free the radio. 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 at the rear of the unit.
Where the serial sits. The serial number is printed on a barcode/sticker label on the top or side of the chassis next to the part number; the REZ rear-seat DVD module wears the same kind of printed label on its own case.
Tips. Photograph the label and double-check ambiguous characters such as 0/O and 1/I before submitting the serial.

How Serial Numbers Usually Look on These Voyager Radios
Year Chrysler Voyager RA3 serial patterns:
T00AM– Harman VP2 RA3 (most common on Voyager)T00BE– Continental variantTM9– Older Harman production
Serial is 14 alphanumeric characters. Skip the part number (starts with P05064 or 68).
Standard Serial Number Patterns on This Radio
The factory radios fitted to the 2013 Voyager 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 / RHW MyGIG 430N
These Mitsubishi-built MyGIG units typically print an alphanumeric serial on the case sticker. Common Mopar/MyGIG prefixes from 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.
Entering the Radio Security Code
After locating the S/N and received the unlock code, the next step is entering it into your radio.
Chrysler OEM units display a locked screen when ready for input.
The process is usually quick, but button layouts and confirmation methods may differ slightly depending on the radio version installed in your Voyager.
In-depth Input Instructions for Voyager 2013
To enter the code on the 2013 Chrysler Voyager Uconnect 8.4":
- Turn ignition to ON. Screen displays "ENTER CODE".
- Enter each digit of your 4-digit code on the on-screen keypad.
- Radio unlocks after the 4th digit. No confirm button needed.
3 wrong entries trigger a 60-minute lockout. Keep ignition ON. Turning off restarts the timer.
Correct Entering Process
Once the unlock code has been retrieved for a 2013 Voyager radio, it can be entered directly 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 confirm each digit before pressing it.
Entering the code. Place the ignition in RUN/ACC so the radio powers up but the engine stays off. Wait for the display to show CODE, Enter Anti-Theft Code, or a similar prompt. On the RBZ/RHB/RHW MyGIG (6.5-inch) units, type the digits using the on-screen number pad and confirm with the on-screen OK/Enter button. On the base RES head unit, press the numbered preset buttons (1-6) in sequence and confirm with the tune/menu knob or labelled enter button as prompted on the display.
If a wrong code was entered. 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.
Understanding the 2013 Chrysler Voyager Radio Code Retrieval Process
- Skip long troubleshooting discussions or service visits - you can retrieve the code online with the radio S/N.
- First locate the serial number. The best place to search is on the unit itself, and in some cases it can be visible on the Voyager's display.
- Type it into the form above, and the system will calculate the correct 2013 Voyager unlock code.
- After receiving your code, input it using Voyager's radio controls to release the blockade successfully.
- The entire process takes just a short moment and requires no VIN, documents, or technical knowledge.
Why Did the Radio Lock and Ask for a Code?
The 2013 Chrysler Voyager radio locks automatically whenever power is cut. Even the value-tier Voyager uses the same anti-theft system.
Most common cause: battery replacement or disconnect. Other causes:
- Failed radio fuse
- Buying the Voyager second-hand without a code
- Battery disconnect for repairs
- Battery drained from long storage
Code comes from the radio serial number — not the VIN.
Understanding Unlock Issues with Your Voyager
If no code prompt appears, the lock hasn't activated. Force the prompt by briefly pulling the radio fuse, then reconnect and turn ignition to ON.
On the Voyager RA3 label: serial = 14 alphanumeric chars, starts with T00AM, T00BE, or TM9. Part number starts with P05064 or 68 — not the serial.
The Voyager Uconnect RA3 uses touchscreen-only code entry. Tap each digit on the on-screen keypad. Auto-unlocks after the 4th digit. No physical buttons needed.
3 wrong entries lock the Voyager RA3 for 60 minutes. Keep ignition in ON or ACC. Cutting power restarts the timer.
The Voyager RA3 label shows both serial and part number. Serial: 14 chars, starts with T00AM, T00BE, or TM9. Part number (skip): starts with P05064 or 68.
