Get Your Radio Code

A Chrysler car radio shows CODE or SAFE after losing power and needs its unique unlock code, which is derived from the radio's serial number. Enter your serial in the calculator below to get the code instantly — free, no signup required.

Select a series above — Chrysler serials are short numeric codes

Chrysler / Jeep / Dodge radio serials are short numeric codes — either 4 digits (older TM4 units) or 5 digits (TM5 units from 2002+). The serial is displayed on the radio screen when you hold the button combination, or printed on the chassis sticker.

How to Find Your Chrysler Radio Serial

Method 1 — On-screen serial display

On most Chrysler / Jeep / Dodge radios you can display the serial on-screen. Turn the radio off, then hold the 1 and 4 preset buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The radio will display a sequence of numbers — these are your serial digits. Note them down and enter them in the calculator above.

Method 2 — Radio chassis sticker

Remove the radio from the dashboard. On most models the serial sticker on the top or side of the unit shows a short 4 or 5-digit number. Some stickers also include the radio model number (TM4 or TM5).

Method 3 — Chrysler / Jeep dealer

Any authorized Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealer can retrieve your radio code using your VIN at no charge if you are the registered owner.

Which series? If your serial is exactly 4 digits (e.g. 1234), select "4-digit". If it is 5 digits (e.g. 12345), select "TM5 (5-digit)". Some newer models use a 5-digit serial from a different code table — try TM5/TM6 if TM5 returns no result.

FAQ

My Jeep Cherokee radio says "LOCKED" — how long until it resets?

After three incorrect attempts the radio locks for one hour. Leave the ignition on ACC for the full hour. The radio will return to the code entry screen. It is important not to turn the ignition fully off during this period.

I pressed 1+4 but nothing happened — is there another way to see the serial?

Some TM5 models use a different button combination. Try holding the AM/FM button and preset 2 at the same time for 5 seconds. On others, the serial appears when you press and hold the SELECT button with the radio off. If none work, remove the radio and read the sticker on the chassis.

The code shows 5 digits but my radio only has 4 number buttons — what do I do?

5-digit serials return a 4-digit code. You only need 4 preset buttons to enter the code. The serial length (4 or 5 digits) does not equal the code length.
