How 2014 Dodge Dart Radio Code Lookup Works
Car radios use anti-theft codes dependent on the radio unit itself rather than the model or production year.
- Our lookup service works by matching your Dodge Dart radio's serial number.
- Once the serial number is submitted, the system identifies the radio unit and retrieves the corresponding code.
- Use the code to unlock the radio immediately.
- This approach saves time compared to traditional methods for 2014 Dodge Dart.
Got the Code? Here's How to Enter It
Once you have the serial number and generated the unlock code, the final step is entering it into your radio.
Dodge OEM units display a locked screen when ready for input.
The process is simple, but button layouts and confirmation methods may differ slightly depending on the radio version installed in your Dart.
Entering Process
To enter the code on the 2014 Dodge Dart's Uconnect:
- Ignition ON. Screen displays "ENTER CODE".
- Use the touchscreen keypad to enter each digit of the 4-digit code.
- Radio unlocks automatically after the 4th digit.
Lockout: 3 wrong attempts = 60-minute lockout. Keep ignition ON during the full wait period.
Locate the Serial Number Needed to Generate Dodge Dart 2014 Radio Code
The first step is finding the radio S/N.
Most people assume the code depends on the Dodge model or year, but actually, the unlock process depends on the unique radio's serial number.
This number identifies the exact head unit installed in your Dodge Dart.
This is even better, because if you have bought an aftermarket radio, the VIN or other Dodge-specific data wouldn't help.
Based on the radio used, you may be able to see the serial directly from the display or by checking the label on the radio chassis.
Display-Based Serial Number Retrieval
These are the steps you should follow for 2014 Dodge Dart:
The 2014 Dodge Dart could feature either the Uconnect 5.0" (standard trim) or Uconnect 8.4" (upper trims). On models with the 8.4" screen, you can access Dealer Mode:
- Turn ignition to ACC or ON.
- Hold Climate Up + Climate Down + Front Defrost for 5 seconds.
- Go to: System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number.
For lower trims, Dealer Mode is not available. The radio must be pulled out to access the serial label.
Find it by Pulling Out the Radio Unit
If the serial does not appear in menu, the next step is checking the radio itself.
Many Dodge radios require physical access to the serial sticker attached to the unit.
Usual approach:
- Start by completely shutting off the engine - pull the key out.
- Then lift the radio surround.
- Next, unscrew the mounting points and pull the radio forward.
- Look for a printed tag showing the serial number.
To remove the radio from the 2014 Dodge Dart:
- Turn off the vehicle.
- Carefully pry the center stack bezel around the radio. The Dart uses friction clips.
- Unscrew the four mounting screws (Phillips).
- Slide the radio forward to access the serial label.
The Dart's dashboard is easy to work on. The trim clips usually release easily with a trim tool.

S/N Patterns and Prefixes
The 2014 Dodge Dart uses Uconnect radios with these common serial formats:
T00AM– Harman Uconnect (5.0") unitsT00BE– Continental variantsTM9– Earlier production units
Radio models: RA1 (5.0" base), RA3 (8.4" with nav option). The Dart was manufactured from 2013-2016 exclusively and used the Fiat-derived platform, but the Uconnect system is the same as other Dodge vehicles.
Why Is the Radio Asking for a Code?
This vehicle experiences radio lockouts most commonly because of:
- Battery disconnect or replacement — the primary trigger on all Uconnect-equipped vehicles including the Dart.
- Young used-car buyers — the Dart was popular as a first car, meaning the code history is often lost during resale.
- Dead battery — compact cars like the Dart with aging batteries can drain enough to lock the radio.
- Blown fuse — blown radio fuse also triggers the lock.
Whatever caused it, the unlock code is permanently tied to the radio serial and never changes.
Understanding Unlock Issues with Your Dart
After 3 failed code attempts on the Dart's Uconnect triggers a 60-minute lockout. The screen presents "WAIT". To clear it:
- Leave the ignition ON for the full 60 minutes — the ignition must stay ON.
- Cycling the ignition extends the wait.
Dart note: Because the Dart was popular with younger buyers who may not know the lockout rule sometimes cycle the ignition to "fix" it. Don't do this — just be patient.
As an affordable compact, meaning many owners acquired theirs used and may have submitted incorrect information. If the code is rejected, the standard cause is using the part number instead of the serial. The Dart's Uconnect serial is 14 characters, prefixed by T00AM, T00BE, or TM9. The part number (P... or 68...) is on the same label but does not generate a code.
If rejected, re-verify the serial and reach out for a free re-check.
Both Uconnect versions in the Dart use the touchscreen exclusively for code entry. Whether you have the 5.0" and the 8.4" both use digital number pads — no hardware buttons are used during code entry.
- Tap each digit on the touchscreen keypad.
- The radio auto-confirms after all four digits are entered.
If the screen is not responding, cycle the ignition once and wait 20 seconds for the system to restart.
On 8.4" Dart models, Dealer Mode is available to retrieve the serial: press and hold Climate Up + Climate Down + Front Defrost for 5 seconds, then go to System Info → Serial Number. On the smaller screen, pulling the radio is required to see the label.
- Serial number — 14 characters, starting with
T00AM,TM9, orT00BE. - Part number — starts with
Por68. Not the serial.
Despite being Fiat-platform-based, the Uconnect serial format is standard as all other Dodge vehicles.
When no code prompt appears after a power interruption:
- Confirm the ignition is in the ON position — not just ACC.
- Inspect the fuse panel — fuse failure stops the radio from powering on.
- Allow the system 10–20 seconds to boot before looking for the "ENTER CODE" screen.
For lower-trim Darts, the display is smaller but the code prompt behavior is the same.
