Locate the Serial Number Needed to Generate Ram 3500 2024 Radio Code

The first step is to find and write down the radio's serial number.

Based on the head unit type used in your 2024 3500, the S/N can be found either through the display menu or by checking the label on the radio itself.

Below are the most common methods to identify your S/N the right way.

Factory Radio Lineup for the 2024 Ram 3500

For 2024 the Ram 3500 runs the Uconnect 5 infotainment platform as standard across SLT and above (with Uconnect 4 retained on the very base Tradesman/base Chassis Cab in some markets). Uconnect 5 introduced wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, five user profiles and a much faster processor compared with the Uconnect 4 hardware it replaced.

  1. Uconnect 3 / Uconnect 4 (sales code UAG) - 5-inch base touchscreen, retained on the lowest Tradesman/base Chassis Cab build only. Visual ID: small 5-inch screen with conventional climate controls below.
  2. Uconnect 5 with 8.4-inch display (sales code UBL) - 8.4-inch landscape touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, optional GPS navigation. Visual ID: 8.4-inch glass with the Uconnect 5 home grid (multiple user profiles, large widgets) instead of the older Uconnect 4 tile layout.
  3. Uconnect 5 NAV with 12-inch display (sales code UBQ) - 12-inch portrait touchscreen with built-in GPS, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Standard on Limited and optional/standard on Laramie depending on the build. Visual ID: large vertical 12-inch glass with split-screen and the Uconnect 5 interface.

Quick test for 2024: a 5-inch screen with the older Uconnect interface means UAG, an 8.4-inch landscape screen with the new Uconnect 5 home grid means UBL, and a tall 12-inch portrait screen running Uconnect 5 means UBQ.

Access Your S/N via the Radio Display

Try the following for your 2024 Ram 3500:

The 2024 Ram 3500 1-ton heavy-duty truck is equipped with the Uconnect 4C (RA4) 8.4" touchscreen in the HD's center stack. 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) at the same time for 5 seconds.
  3. Dealer Mode opens on the display.
  4. Select: System InfoRadio Part InfoSerial Number.

Note Dealer Mode could be disabled on some 2024 Ram 3500 units after a software update. If the bezel press fails, physical removal is the fallback.

Taking Out the Radio to Access the S/N on the Tag

If the serial does not appear in menu, the next step is checking the radio itself.

Many Ram radios require physical access to the serial tag attached to the unit.

Common approach:

  1. Start by completely powering down the engine - pull the key out.
  2. Then detach the radio surround.
  3. Next, loosen the mounting points and slide the radio forward.
  4. Look for a barcode label showing the serial number.

If Dealer Mode is not accessible on your 2024 Ram 3500, the radio needs to be removed to read the serial label:

  1. Turn off the vehicle.
  2. Remove the center stack trim with a plastic pry tool. The 3500 HD's dash can include heavy-duty trim needing steady pressure to release the friction clips.
  3. Unscrew the mounting screws (Torx T20 or T25) securing the radio.
  4. Pull the unit out to access the serial on the side or top of the chassis.

Wiring can remain connected while you read the serial.

Taking Out the Radio to View the S/N on the Tag

The factory radio in the 2024 Ram 3500 also carries a printed barcode/sticker label on the chassis. On the fifth-generation DT HD dash the head unit (especially the 12-inch portrait UAX/UBQ) sits inside a wide centre-stack bezel that integrates the screen surround with adjacent climate and storage trim, so the work needs to be done methodically.

  1. Safety first: turn the ignition fully off, remove the key fob from the cabin, disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10-15 minutes before touching wiring so the SRS/airbag capacitors can discharge. Avoid yellow airbag/SRS connectors entirely and use plastic trim tools so nothing shorts or breaks.
  2. Tools you will need: plastic trim/panel removal kit, T20 Torx bit, Phillips #2 screwdriver, 7mm socket and short extension, flashlight, clean microfibre to rest the bezel on.
  3. Removal overview (2024 Ram 3500 dash): lift the rubber beauty pad on top of the centre stack to expose two T20 Torx screws and remove them; lift the rubber mat in the small cubby behind the 120V outlet to expose a third T20 Torx screw and remove that as well. With those three screws out, pull the centre-stack bezel rearward starting at the lower edge to release the spring clips around its perimeter. The bezel carries the hazard/HVAC switches, so unclip those harnesses before setting it aside on a clean cloth. Remove the four 7mm screws securing the radio cage to the dash support bracket, then slide the head unit straight rearward and disconnect the antenna lead and the multi-pin power/data connectors at the rear.
  4. Where the serial sits: the serial number is printed on a barcode/sticker label on the top or one side of the radio chassis, alongside the part number and supplier markings. Photograph the label up close and double-check ambiguous characters such as 0/O, 1/I and B/8 before submitting the value.
  5. Tips and professional advice: the 12-inch UAX/UBQ portrait head unit on the 3500 is deeply integrated into the wider centre-stack trim and shares hardware with the climate cluster, hazard switch and 120V outlet bezel - if the trim resists, stop and double-check for hidden screws rather than pulling harder. Owners who are not comfortable working around airbag wiring or releasing the wide integrated bezel should have a professional installer or dealer technician remove the unit instead; an experienced shop typically completes this in well under an hour.

Standard Serial Number Patterns on This Radio

The 2024 Ram 3500 Uconnect 4C (RA4) serial number formats:

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

Radio designation: RA4 (Uconnect 4C, 8.4"). Serial: 14 characters. The Ram 3500 uses the same infotainment system as the 2500 HD.

Important Do not mix up the serial with the part number (P05064... or 68...). Only the 14-char serial generates the code.

What a Valid Serial Number Looks Like

The factory radios fitted to the 2024 Ram 3500 are predominantly Uconnect 5 head units (with Uconnect 4 retained on the base 5-inch UAG only). The serial style follows the standard Mopar/Uconnect convention, with the exact prefix driven by the supplier and software build of the specific unit, so any pattern below should be treated as a guide rather than a strict rule.

Uconnect 5 8.4-inch (UBL) and 12-inch (UBQ)

  1. Typically a 14-character alphanumeric string printed on the chassis barcode label.
  2. Often begins with T (for example T00-prefixed Mitsubishi Electric builds) or with A2C on Continental-built modules.
  3. Printed as a continuous run of letters and digits, with no spaces or dashes.

Uconnect 3 / Uconnect 4 5-inch (UAG, base only)

  1. Usually carries a Mopar/Visteon or Panasonic-style serial on the chassis sticker, so the printed label on the unit itself is the authoritative reference.
  2. Copy the serial exactly as printed and avoid guessing characters that look unclear.

How Serial-Based Ram 3500 Radio Unlock Works

To get the code, you'll take only 4 easy steps.

  1. Find the radio's serial number - this is the only info required by our side.
    Unlike when contacting the dealer, no VIN is needed.
  2. When you've found the S/N, type it into the form above.
    The system checks it against a database of supported units and automatically retrieves the matching anti-theft code.
  3. In most cases, the code will appear instantly on the screen after payment and is also sent to your email for backup.
    If we need to check it manually, you'll be notified before checkout.
  4. When you receive the code, just enter it into the radio to restore full functionality.

Final Step - Enter the Radio Code

Once you receive 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 radio interface, but most 2024 3500 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 ENTER CODE displayed on screen.

In-depth Entering Instructions for 3500 2024

To input the unlock code on the 2024 Ram 3500's Uconnect 4C:

  1. The 8.4" display 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 – nothing else needed.

Lockout Warning: 3 wrong attempts = 60-minute lockout. Keep ignition ON. Turning off the ignition restarts the 60-minute wait.

Understanding Unlock Issues with Your 3500

The Uconnect 4C serial on the Ram 3500 can be read via Dealer Mode (System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number) or on the barcode sticker on the unit housing after removal. Serial: 14 chars starting with T00AM, T00BE, or T0MYD.

Do not use the part number (P05... or 68...) on the same label.

The Ram 3500's Uconnect 4C locks after 3 wrong entries. The screen continues to display "ENTER CODE" but blocks all input.

To reset: Keep ignition ON for a full 60 minutes. Turning off restarts the countdown. Fleet 3500s must complete the full wait without interruption.

A rejected code on the Ram 3500's Uconnect 4C usually means the wrong serial was submitted. The RA4 label has the serial (T00AM, T00BE, or T0MYD, 14 chars) and the part number (P05... or 68...) — the serial alone generates the code.

HD truck stickers can be dirty in heavy-use environments. Wipe it down or photograph it. Contact support for a free re-check if needed.

The Ram 3500's Uconnect 4C uses touchscreen-only code entry — tap each digit on the virtual number pad. No physical preset buttons are involved. The radio auto-unlocks after the 4th digit.

No code prompt means the Uconnect 4C isn't activated. Force the lock: pull the radio fuse and reinsert it, then turn ignition ON. The prompt shows on startup.

Why Did the Radio Lock and Ask for a Code?

The Ram 3500's Uconnect 4C activates anti-theft after any power interruption. 1-ton Ram 3500 owners encounter this most often because of:

  • Battery replacement — primary cause. 3500s have higher electrical loads from trailers and accessories, making battery changes more frequent.
  • Upfit and accessory work — 3500 owners who add fifth-wheel prep, gooseneck hitches, or commercial upfits who disconnect the battery will encounter this.
  • Blown fuse — frequent after heavy electrical work.
  • Buying fleet-retired without the code.

The code is derived from the radio's serial number — not the VIN.
