Locked 1500 Radio? Here's Exactly How to Get the Code

Car radios use security codes tied to the radio unit itself instead of the model or production year.

  • The system uses the 1500's radio serial to retrieve the unlock code.
  • When you input the serial into the generator, the system identifies the radio unit and generates the code that you need.
  • Simply input the digits into the 1500 stereo.
  • This approach saves time compared to traditional methods for 2019 Ram 1500.

Can't Locate Your Unit's Serial Number? Follow These Steps for Ram 1500 2019

The first step is locating the radio S/N.

Most people assume the code depends on the Ram model or year, but in reality, the whole 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 a used radio, the VIN or other vehicle-specific data wouldn't help.

Based 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 2019 Ram 1500

The 2019 model year was the launch of the all-new fifth-generation DT Ram 1500. The radio line-up sat firmly in the Uconnect 4 era with three distinct screen sizes split across trim levels.

  1. Uconnect 3 / Uconnect 4 5-inch (sales code UAG) - 5-inch non-touchscreen base radio standard on the Tradesman work-truck trim. Visual ID: small 5-inch display, tactile knobs and hard buttons surrounding it, no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. By far the most basic radio of the lineup.
  2. Uconnect 4C 8.4-inch non-NAV (sales code UCQ) - 8.4-inch touchscreen without built-in GPS. Standard on Big Horn / Lone Star, optional on Tradesman. Visual ID: 8.4-inch landscape touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, but there is no factory Map / NAV tile on the home screen.
  3. Uconnect 4C NAV 8.4-inch (sales code UAQ) - 8.4-inch touchscreen with built-in GPS navigation. Standard on Laramie and higher, optional on Big Horn. Visual ID: same 8.4-inch landscape glass as UCQ, but the home screen carries a dedicated NAV / Map tile and full turn-by-turn navigation.
  4. Uconnect 4C NAV 12-inch (sales code UAX) - the headline 12-inch portrait touchscreen, optional on Laramie and standard on Longhorn and Limited. Visual ID: very large vertically oriented 12-inch screen filling the centre stack, split-screen multitasking, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto run in the upper window with vehicle controls below.

Quick field test: small 5-inch with knobs only = UAG, 8.4-inch landscape with no Map tile = UCQ, 8.4-inch landscape with a Map tile = UAQ, very large vertical 12-inch screen = UAX.

Access the S/N via the Radio Screen

These are the steps you should follow for 2019 Ram 1500:

The 2019 Ram 1500 5th-generation features the Uconnect 4C (RA4) with either the 8.4" standard-option or optional 12" portrait touchscreen on Rebel, Laramie, and above. The serial number is accessible via Dealer Mode:

  1. Turn ignition to ACC or ON.
  2. Press the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the physical screen bezel (plastic frame, not the glass) at the same time for approximately 5 seconds.
  3. Dealer Mode appears on the display.
  4. Go to: System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number.

12" Screen Note: On the 2019 1500 with the 12" portrait display, reach both bottom bezel corners. Some owners find it easier to using both thumbs simultaneously. The Dealer Mode method is preferred before attempting removal of this larger module.

Find Your Serial Number on the Radio Display

The 2019 Ram 1500 ships with the Uconnect 4 family, so the radio serial number can usually be read straight from the touchscreen via the hidden dealer / diagnostic menu - no head-unit removal required on the 8.4-inch and 12-inch units.

Uconnect 4C 8.4-inch (UCQ / UAQ)

  1. Switch the ignition to RUN / ACC and wait for Uconnect to finish booting.
  2. Press and hold the driver-side temperature UP, the driver-side temperature DOWN and the front DEFROST buttons together for roughly 5-10 seconds.
  3. If the climate-button shortcut does nothing, press and hold the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the touchscreen at the same time for about 5-10 seconds.
  4. Once the dealer / engineering screen opens, browse to Radio Part Information / System Info to read the serial number on screen.
  5. Photograph the screen so each character can be transcribed without typos.

Uconnect 4C NAV 12-inch portrait (UAX)

  1. Place the ignition in RUN / ACC and let the 12-inch display finish loading.
  2. Press and hold the first (far-left) and last (far-right) hard buttons along the bottom edge of the 12-inch screen at the same time for around 5-10 seconds until the dealer mode menu appears.
  3. Open the radio / system info section and read the serial number printed on screen.
  4. Snap a photo of the display before transcribing the digits.

The 5-inch UAG base radio does not have a documented on-screen serial menu, so on that unit the chassis label method is the next reliable source.

Releasing the Radio to See the S/N on the Tag

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

Most Ram 1500 factory radios include a sticker with the serial number printed on the casing.

Basic process:

  • Remove key from ignition.
  • Lift away surrounding mounting frame.
  • Loosen screws holding the radio.
  • Pull forward to inspect the label.

If Dealer Mode won't open on the 2019 Ram 1500, physical removal is the alternative:

  1. Turn off the vehicle.
  2. Remove the surrounding trim panel using a plastic pry tool. The 5th-gen 1500's redesigned dash uses snap-fit clips.
  3. Remove the mounting screws (Torx T20 or T25) securing the infotainment unit.
  4. Pull the unit forward to read the serial label on the rear of the module.

12" Screen Note: The 12" portrait module is heavier than the 8.4". Support it carefully when extracting. Use Dealer Mode first.

Pulling Out the Radio Unit to See the S/N on the Tag

If dealer mode is unavailable - common on the base 5-inch UAG, or after a software update on the 8.4 / 12-inch units - the printed chassis label remains the definitive source for the serial. The DT Ram 1500 dash is closely integrated, and the 12-inch portrait UAX in particular is part of a deeply integrated centre stack, so work slowly and methodically.

  1. Safety first: turn the ignition off, take out 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.
  2. Tools you will need: plastic trim removal kit, Phillips and small Torx (T20 / T15) bit set, 7 mm socket, flashlight.
  3. Removal overview - 8.4-inch UCQ / UAQ: at the top of the centre dash there is a cubby with a rubber mat - lift the mat to reveal two T20 Torx screws. Above the 12 V / AC outlet there is a second small cubby with another T20 screw under a rubber mat. Remove all three, then carefully pry the centre stack bezel free with a plastic trim tool, working around the perimeter.
  4. Removal overview - 12-inch portrait UAX: the 12-inch portrait screen is part of a much larger integrated bezel that extends across most of the centre stack and is tied into the climate cluster - removal involves more trim panels and connectors than the 8.4-inch unit.
  5. Releasing the radio: with the bezel free, remove the four 7 mm screws holding the radio cage to the dash support, then slide the head unit rearward.
  6. Disconnect carefully: release the antenna lead, the USB / aux harness and the multi-pin power / data connectors before fully extracting the unit.
  7. Find the label: the serial sits on a printed barcode / sticker label on the top or side of the radio chassis, alongside the part number and supplier markings.
  8. Tips: photograph the label up close and double-check ambiguous characters such as 0 / O, 1 / I and B / 8 before submitting the serial. Because the 12-inch portrait UAX is so deeply integrated with the surrounding bezel and climate cluster, we strongly recommend having a professional installer or dealership remove that unit if you are not experienced with DT-platform interior work.

S/N Patterns and Prefixes

The 2019 Ram 1500 (5th-gen) Uconnect 4C (RA4) serial number formats:

  • T00AM – Harman Uconnect 4C (most common prefix)
  • T00BE – Continental Uconnect 4C variant
  • T0MYD – Newer Harman production (later models)

Radio designations: RA4 (8.4" Uconnect 4C), UAQ/UAR (12" screen variant). Serial: 14 characters alphanumeric.

Important Don't confuse the serial with the part number (P05064... or 68...) on the same label. Only the 14-char serial is used for the code.

Typical Serial Number Formats for 2019 Ram 1500 Radios

The factory radios on the 2019 Ram 1500 use the standard Mopar / Uconnect head-unit serial style. The exact prefix depends on which Uconnect tier shipped with the truck and which supplier (Continental, Harman or Panasonic) built the unit.

Uconnect 4C 8.4-inch (UCQ / UAQ)

  1. Typically a 14-character alphanumeric string printed on the chassis label.
  2. Commonly begins with T - frequent prefixes include T00AM, TM9 and TQ1 - or with A2C on Continental-built variants.
  3. Usually a continuous run of letters and digits with no dashes or spaces.

Uconnect 4C NAV 12-inch (UAX)

  1. Typically also follows the 14-character Mopar / Uconnect alphanumeric pattern, printed on the chassis sticker.
  2. The label on the unit itself is the authoritative reference because the supplier mix can vary on this larger NAV unit.

Uconnect 3 / 4 5-inch (UAG)

  1. Usually carries a Mopar / Harman or Panasonic-style serial printed on the chassis sticker.
  2. Always copy the serial exactly as printed and avoid guessing characters that look unclear.

How to Enter the Radio Code

Once the system gives you 2019 Ram 1500 anti-theft code from the serial number, you're ready to reactivate the radio.

Some drivers get stuck at this stage because input methods can look different across radio versions, but it's usually simple.

When the radio shows CODE, it means the unit is waiting for the correct numbers.

In-depth Input Instructions for 1500 2019

To input the unlock code on the 2019 Ram 1500's Uconnect 4C:

  1. The 8.4" or 12" displays "ENTER CODE" after a battery event.
  2. Tap the touchscreen keypad to enter each digit of the 4-digit code.
  3. The radio auto-unlocks after the 4th digit – no confirm button needed.

Lockout Warning: 3 wrong attempts = 60-minute lockout. Keep ignition ON. Cycling the ignition restarts the timer.

Step-by-Step Code Input Guide

Once the unlock code has been retrieved, the 2019 Ram 1500 Uconnect 4 head unit can be unlocked at the dash without a scan tool or dealer visit.

  1. Limited attempts: Mopar / Uconnect head units only accept three incorrect tries before the radio enters a WAIT state, so confirm every digit before pressing it.
  2. Place the ignition in RUN / ACC so the radio powers up but the engine stays off.
  3. Wait for the display to show CODE, Please enter Anti-Theft Code or a similar prompt.
  4. On the 8.4-inch UCQ / UAQ and the 12-inch UAX, tap the on-screen number pad to enter each digit and confirm with the on-screen OK / Enter button.
  5. On the 5-inch UAG base radio, use the numbered preset buttons to enter the four-digit code in sequence.
  6. If WAIT appears after wrong attempts, leave the radio powered with the ignition in RUN for the documented cool-down period (about 30 minutes; the vehicle may be driven during this time) before trying the correct code again.

Fixing Common Code Entry Problems for 2019 1500

The Uconnect 4C serial is accessible via Dealer Mode on the 1500's 8.4" or 12" (System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number), or on the physical label on the radio chassis after removal.

Serial: 14 chars starting with T00AM, T00BE, or T0MYD. Skip the part number (P05... or 68...).

The Uconnect 4C label on the Ram 1500 has both the serial number (14 chars: T00AM, T00BE, or T0MYD) and the part number (P05... or 68...). Just the serial generates the unlock code.

On the 12" portrait display: the serial label is on the rear of the module, visible only when removed. Re-read the label and reach out if the code still fails.

No code prompt means the Uconnect 4C hasn't locked yet. Trigger the lock: pull the radio fuse and reinsert it, then turn ignition ON. The prompt appears on startup.

The Ram 1500 Uconnect 4C uses touchscreen-only code entry — press each digit on the virtual keypad. No physical preset buttons are involved. The radio unlocks after the 4th digit. With the large screen: same process — same touchscreen input.

The 5th-gen Ram 1500's Uconnect 4C enters lockout after 3 wrong entries. The screen continues to display "ENTER CODE" but blocks all taps during the lockout.

To clear: Keep ignition ON for a full 60 minutes. Any power interruption restarts the countdown. Work trucks or tow rigs that get turned off at job sites must complete the full wait in one sitting.

What Caused the Radio to Lock?

The 5th-gen Ram 1500's Uconnect 4C locks automatically after any power interruption. These truck owners see this most often because of:

  • Battery replacement — primary cause across all Uconnect variants.
  • Blown radio fuse — frequent after aftermarket audio or accessory installation.
  • Buying used without a known unlock code.
  • Battery fully discharged from sitting unused.

The code is tied to the radio's own serial number — not the VIN.
