How to find Dodge Charger 2014 radio serial number

From Serial Number to Unlock Code for your Dodge Charger - Explained

Getting your radio code takes only 4 easy steps.

  1. Find the radio's serial number - this is the only information required to generate the correct unlock code.
    The difference with the dealership lookup is that no VIN or paperwork is needed.
  2. Enter the serial number into our generator above.
    Our system checks it against a database of supported factory radios and automatically catches the matching radio code.
  3. In most cases, the code will appear instantly on the screen after you pay and is also sent to your email , just in case.
    If manual verification is required (rare situations), you'll be notified before checkout.
  4. When you receive the code, just enter it into your radio to restore full functionality.

Inputting the Security Code

Now that you've found the radio serial and generated the unlock code, the final part is entering it into your radio.

Dodge original head units display a locked screen when ready for input.

The process is simple, but button layouts and confirmation methods may change depending on the radio version installed in your Charger.

Entering Process

To type in the unlock code on the 2014 Dodge Charger's Uconnect 8.4":

  1. The screen shows "ENTER CODE" or ---- when locked after a battery event.
  2. Tap the on-screen touchscreen keypad to enter each digit of the 4-digit code.
  3. After the 4th digit, the radio unlocks automatically – nothing else is required.

Lockout: Three incorrect attempts activate a 60-minute lockout. Leave the ignition ON for the entire lockout period. Turning off the ignition restarts the timer.

Step-by-Step Code Input Guide

Once you have the correct anti-theft code for your 2014 Charger radio, the entry process itself is straightforward, but the unit will lock you out for an extended period if you make repeated mistakes.

Limited Attempt Warning

You usually only get three attempts. After three successive wrong codes the radio enters a WAIT state and the display shows WAIT. To clear it you must leave the ignition in the RUN position with the radio powered for a continuous 30 minutes before trying again. Do not guess - confirm the code matches the serial you actually read off this radio.

Entering the code

  1. Turn the ignition to RUN or ACC so the radio powers up and shows the CODE / Anti-Theft prompt.
  2. On the 8.4-inch Uconnect (RA3/RA4), enter each digit by tapping the on-screen number pad.
  3. On the Uconnect 5.0 (RA2) base radio, enter the code by pressing the corresponding preset (1-6) buttons in sequence.
  4. Confirm with the OK/Enter on-screen control or the equivalent hard button.
  5. If accepted, the radio returns to its normal home screen and audio resumes.

If it does not work

  1. Stop after the second wrong attempt and recheck the serial you used to obtain the code.
  2. Make sure no leading or trailing characters were dropped from the serial.
  3. Wait out the 30-minute lockout if WAIT appears - cycling the key off does not bypass it.

How Serial Numbers Work and Where to Find Them on 2014 Dodge Charger Radios

The important fact to know is that factory radios use a specific S/N to identify each unitindividually.

Your anti-theft system matches the code directly to the serial.

Different from car-specific data such as VIN or registration information, it is not determined by the model or production year, so you'll be able to retrieve it even if you have an aftermarket radio.

Depending on the manufacturer and radio installed in your Dodge Charger, the retrieval method varies.

Here are the best ways to locate it.

Factory Radios on the 2014 Dodge Charger

The 2014 Charger is the final year of the pre-refresh LD platform, and it carries over the older MyGIG-era head units rather than the newer Uconnect 8.4 system that arrived in 2015. Three head units were offered, mostly tied to trim and the optional Navigation package.

  1. Uconnect 130 / RES - standard on SE and base SXT. A small DIN-and-a-half AM/FM/CD unit with a tiny monochrome display, hard tuning and volume knobs flanking the CD slot, and no touchscreen. If your dash has a separate climate control panel below and a CD slot front-and-centre with no touch screen, this is the RES.
  2. Uconnect 430 / RBZ (MyGIG) - optional on SXT and standard on R/T. An 8.4-inch-class color touchscreen (technically 6.5" MyGIG-generation display in this body style), CD slot to the right of the screen, hard buttons down each side of the bezel, and no NAV button. If you see a touchscreen with a CD slot and the radio menu has Media/Radio/Phone but no Nav tile, you have the RBZ.
  3. Uconnect 430N / RB5 (MyGIG with Navigation) - optional across SXT, R/T, and SRT. Visually almost identical to the RBZ, but a dedicated NAV hard button appears on the bezel and the home screen shows a Nav/Map tile. Sales code RB5 is etched on the label on top of the unit. Least common of the three.

Quick tell: no screen = RES; touchscreen without a NAV button = RBZ; touchscreen with a NAV button = RB5.

Fast Serial Lookup Using Radio Controls

The method for 2014 Dodge Charger is this:

The 2014 Dodge Charger features a driver-focused cockpit and is equipped with the Uconnect 8.4" (RA3) touchscreen angled toward the driver from the top of the center stack. The serial number can be retrieved without tools via Dealer Mode.

Climate Button Method:

  1. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON.
  2. On the Charger's center stack, the Climate Up, Climate Down, and Front Defrost buttons sit directly below the 8.4" screen. Hold all three together for 5 seconds.
  3. Dealer Mode appears on the display.
  4. Go to: System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number.

Alternative: Hold Temperature Up (red) and Temperature Down (blue) simultaneously for 5 seconds to enter Engineering Mode, then follow the same menu path.

Quick Method: Find the Serial Number on the Screen

Some 2014 Charger radios let you read the radio's serial number directly from the touchscreen using a hidden dealer/diagnostic menu, which is faster than pulling the unit out. Below are the radios where on-display retrieval is generally documented.

Uconnect 8.4A (RA3) and Uconnect 8.4AN (RA4)

  1. Start the engine or place the ignition in the RUN position so the touchscreen powers up fully.
  2. Press and hold the driver's temperature UP, temperature DOWN, and front DEFROST buttons together for around 7 seconds.
  3. The hidden dealer/diagnostic menu should appear on the 8.4-inch display.
  4. Open the entries that show radio information (typically the first options) - these list serial numbers, software/hardware revisions and similar identifiers.
  5. Write down the full serial number exactly as shown, including any prefix letters such as T00AM or TM9.
  6. Exit the menu by pressing the Done/Back control or by cycling the ignition off and on.

Uconnect 5.0 (RA2)

For the 5-inch base unit, on-screen retrieval of the radio's internal serial number is not consistently documented. If the dealer-mode shortcut does not bring up a serial entry on this radio, use the radio-removal method instead.

Check the S/N by Pulling Out the Radio Unit

If the serial number cannot be accessed via display, use the pull-out method.

Most Dodge Charger OEM radios include a sticker with the serial number printed on the housing.

Steps:

  1. Power down the vehicle.
  2. Detach the trim surrounding the radio.
  3. Loosen the mounting bolts.
  4. Slide the unit slightly out to access the label.

The serial number is usually located near the manufacturer sticker.

If Dealer Mode is unavailable on your 2014 Dodge Charger, the radio must be removed to read the serial label. The Charger's streamlined sedan center stack wraps the trim bezel around both the radio and HVAC controls:

  1. Remove the center stack bezel – Use a plastic pry tool along the perimeter of the bezel – the panel uses friction clips and typically releases from the bottom corners first.
  2. Remove the 4 Torx T20 screws – Located at the corners of the radio mounting frame.
  3. Slide the radio forward – Ease the unit out just far enough to see the serial label on the side or top surface.

The serial is on a barcode sticker: a 14-character alphanumeric code. The wiring harness can stay connected while you note it.

View Serial by Pulling Out the Radio Unit

If the hidden menu does not show a serial number, or if the radio is fully locked and will not boot into a usable state, the most reliable way to read the serial on a 2014 Charger is to remove the head unit and read the printed label on its chassis.

Safety first

  1. Switch the ignition fully off and remove the key.
  2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the 12V battery.
  3. Wait at least a few minutes before touching wiring near the dash so airbag circuits can fully discharge.
  4. Avoid pulling on any yellow airbag-related harnesses while working behind the bezel.

Tools you will need

  1. Plastic trim/panel removal tools to lift the bezel without scratching the dash.
  2. A 7 mm socket or appropriate Phillips/Torx driver for the radio retaining screws.
  3. A pen/phone camera to record the serial label clearly.

Removal overview

  1. Starting from a lower corner, gently pry the center dash bezel that surrounds the radio and HVAC controls. The 2014 Charger bezel is held by retaining clips, not bolts.
  2. Work around the perimeter until all clips release, then pull the bezel out far enough to disconnect any HVAC/switch connectors behind it.
  3. With the bezel out of the way, remove the four screws that hold the radio chassis to the dash frame.
  4. Slide the radio out toward you and unplug the wiring harnesses and antenna lead from the back.

Where the serial is printed

  1. Look at the top, side, or rear face of the metal chassis for a white or silver thermal-printed label.
  2. The label shows a part number, a barcode and a serial number - copy down the alphanumeric string that begins with letters such as T00AM, TM9 or similar.

Tips

  1. Photograph the label rather than relying on handwriting - the characters can be easy to misread.
  2. Reinstallation is the reverse: connect harnesses, four screws, snap the bezel back in, then reconnect the battery.

Typical Radio Serial Prefixes and Formats

The 2014 Dodge Charger Uconnect 8.4" radio is made by Harman or Continental. Standard serial number prefixes:

  • T00AM – Harman VP2 Uconnect 8.4" (standard format)
  • T00BE – Continental Uconnect 8.4" variant
  • TM9 – Earlier Harman production units

Radio model designations for the 2014 Charger: RA3 (standard 8.4"), VP2 (8.4" with Alpine audio). Example serial: T00AM394958584 (14 characters).

Reminder Avoid mixing up the part number (P05064... or 68...) with the serial number. Only the serial is used for code retrieval.

Typical Serial Number Formats for 2014 Charger Radios

The radios fitted to 2014 Chargers were supplied by different manufacturers, and each one tends to use its own serial-number style. The patterns below are typical of what owners and unlock services commonly report for this generation.

Uconnect 8.4A (RA3) and 8.4AN (RA4) - Continental-built units

These are often seen with a T00AM prefix followed by a string of digits, for example something resembling T00AM1234567. The prefix is usually printed in the same line as the rest of the serial on the radio's label.

Panasonic-built Uconnect units

Some 2014 head units instead carry a TM9 style prefix, typically followed by additional alphanumeric characters. This pattern has been widely associated with Panasonic-supplied Mopar radios across this era.

Uconnect 5.0 (RA2)

The base 5-inch radio's serial is also printed on the chassis label. The exact prefix can vary by supplier batch, so it is safer to read the full string off the label rather than assume a fixed format.

If the serial you read does not match any of these patterns, double-check by comparing the label against the part number - the serial line is usually the longest alphanumeric string and is the one tied to the barcode.

Charger 2014 Common Radio Problems

If no code prompt after a battery event, these steps may help:

  • Turn the ignition fully to ON and give the system 10–20 seconds to start up.
  • Inspect the radio fuse — a blown fuse can prevent the radio from powering on at all.
  • Some Dodge vehicles require pressing any button on the touchscreen to activate the code entry prompt.

Should the display remain off, the fuse or a wiring issue is the most common cause — check the owner's manual for the radio fuse location.

The serial number label on Uconnect 8.4" radios lists several fields, and confusion is common. Here is how to identify the correct one:

  • Serial number — 14 alphanumeric characters, starts with T00AM, T00BE, or TM9. This is the one you need.
  • Part number — starts with P05064... or 68.... Skip this one.

The easiest approach on 2014-era Dodge Charger units is through Dealer Mode — it shows only the serial with no risk of mixing up the numbers.

The Uconnect 8.4" (RA3/VP2) uses a touchscreen number pad exclusively for code entry — there are no physical preset buttons involved in this process. When you see the code entry screen:

  • Tap each digit on the on-screen keypad.
  • The radio confirms the code after the 4th digit — no submission button is required.

If the touchscreen seems unresponsive, try cycling the ignition and wait half a minute for the display to restart.

After entering 3 wrong codes, the Uconnect 8.4" enters a 60-minute lockout and shows "WAIT" or "LOCKED" on screen. To clear the lockout:

  1. Leave the ignition ON — do not switch off the ignition.
  2. Let the timer run for the complete lockout period.
  3. Cycling the ignition before the timer ends resets the timer back to 60 minutes.

When the display returns to the code entry screen, re-enter the code carefully.

The most common reason for a rejected code is entering a code tied to the wrong serial number. On Uconnect 8.4" radios, the label shows both the serial number (14 characters, starting with T00AM, T00BE, or TM9) and a part number (begins with P or 68) — only the serial is used for code generation.

Should the code not work, double-check the serial carefully and reach out for a free re-check if you are unsure.

What Caused the Radio to Lock?

Charger owners experience radio lockouts most often because of:

  • Battery work during performance mods — Charger enthusiasts doing electrical work will encounter this after each disconnect.
  • Seasonal storage and battery drain — Muscle sedans like the Charger parked for months drain enough to lock the radio.
  • Routine battery replacement — standard battery service activates the code screen.
  • Used purchase without history — second-hand purchase without the unlock code means the radio is locked from the start.

The code is linked to the RA3 serial number and never changes.
