Step-by-Step Dodge Charger 2019 Radio Code Retrieval Guide
- Rather than relying on Dodge dealership lookup or online threads you can find the code online with the radio serial number.
- Identify the serial number. It is always present on the unit itself, and in some cases it can be visible on the Charger's radio screen.
- Enter it into the field above, and our software will retrieve the correct 2019 Charger unlock code.
- After getting it, type it in using Charger's radio buttons to release the blockade successfully.
- The entire process takes only a few minutes and requires no VIN, documents, or technical knowledge.
Unlocking the Radio After Code Generation
After generating the correct unlock code based on the serial number, you can restore default functionality by entering it into the unit.
The code entry process depends on the control layout, but most 2019 Charger 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.
The Correct Way to Enter It
Entering the unlock code on the 2019 Charger's Uconnect 4C:
- With ignition ON, the screen shows "ENTER CODE" with an on-screen keypad.
- Enter each digit of your 4-digit code on the Charger's 8.4" touchscreen.
- The radio confirms automatically after the 4th digit — no separate confirm.
Lockout Warning: 3 wrong attempts = 60-minute lockout. Leave the Charger's ignition ON. Turning it off resets the timer.
Step-by-Step Code Input Guide
Once the unlock code has been retrieved, the 2019 Charger Uconnect head unit can be unlocked at the dash without a scan tool or dealer visit.
- Limited attempts: Mopar/Uconnect head units only accept three incorrect tries before the radio enters a
WAITstate, so confirm every digit before pressing it. - Place the ignition in RUN/ACC so the radio powers up but the engine stays off.
- Wait for the display to show
CODE,Please enter Anti-Theft Code, or a similar prompt. - On the Uconnect 4C 8.4 (UAQ/UAS/UCQ), tap the on-screen number pad to enter each digit and confirm with the on-screen OK/Enter button.
- On the Uconnect 4 7-inch (NA), use the numbered preset buttons - or the on-screen keypad if the unit prompts for it - to key the code in sequence.
- If
WAITappears 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.
Can't Locate Your Radio Serial Number? Follow These Steps for Dodge Charger 2019
The first step is writing down the radio serial.
Many people assume the code depends on the Dodge model or year, but in reality, the unlock process relies on the unique radio unit's serial number.
This number identifies the exact head unit installed in your Dodge Charger.
This is actually better, because if you have a used radio, the VIN or other vehicle-specific data wouldn't help.
Depending on the radio version used, you may be able to retrieve the serial directly from the screen or by looking at the label on the radio chassis.
Factory Radios on the 2019 Dodge Charger
The 2019 Charger sits in the Uconnect 4 era, with three head units split across the trim ladder. All three are touchscreen units; the difference is screen size and whether built-in GPS navigation is included.
Uconnect 4 (sales code UAG) is the 7-inch non-NAV touchscreen, standard on SXT and Charger Pursuit fleet cars. Visual ID: smaller 7-inch screen sitting centrally in the dash opening with bezel trim filling the surrounding area; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, but there is no factory NAV/Map tile on the home screen. This is the most common radio in 2019 Chargers.
Uconnect 4C (sales code UAS) is the 8.4-inch non-NAV upgrade. Standard on GT and R/T, optional on SXT. Visual ID: large 8.4-inch screen that fills the dash bezel opening edge to edge, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto present, but the home screen has no NAV/Map tile because GPS navigation is not built in.
Uconnect 4C NAV (sales code UAQ) is the 8.4-inch with built-in GPS. Standard on SRT Hellcat and frequently optioned on Scat Pack and R/T Plus packages. Visual ID: identical 8.4-inch bezel and glass to UAS, but the home screen carries a dedicated NAV/Map tile and SRT Performance Pages is unlocked.
Field check: 7-inch screen = UAG, 8.4-inch with no Map tile = UAS, 8.4-inch with a Map tile and SRT Performance Pages = UAQ.
View Your Serial Number via the Radio Display
Try the following for your 2019 Dodge Charger:
The 2019 Dodge Charger's last-run Uconnect 4C (RA4) 8.4" touchscreen is mounted in the performance sedan's center stack. The serial number is accessible directly on screen via Dealer Mode:
- Turn ignition to ACC or ON.
- Press the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the physical screen bezel (the plastic frame, not the glass) at the same time for 5 seconds.
- Dealer Mode opens on the display.
- Navigate to: System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number.
Note Some 2019 Charger units may have Dealer Mode restricted after a software update. If the bezel press doesn't respond, physical radio removal is required.
Fast Serial Lookup Using Radio Controls
The 2019 Charger ships with the Uconnect 4 family of head units (8.4-inch UAQ NAV, 8.4-inch UAS non-NAV, and the smaller 7-inch Uconnect 4 NA). On these units the radio serial number can usually be read straight from the touchscreen via the hidden dealer/diagnostic menu - no need to pull the unit out of the dash.
Uconnect 4C 8.4 (UAQ / UAS / Canadian UCQ)
- Switch the ignition to RUN/ACC and wait for the Uconnect interface to finish booting.
- Press and hold the driver-side temperature UP, the driver-side temperature DOWN, and the front DEFROST buttons together for roughly 5-10 seconds until the dealer/engineering screen opens.
- If the climate-button shortcut does nothing, press and hold the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the screen at the same time for about 5-10 seconds.
- Once inside, browse to the radio/system info section to read the serial number printed on screen.
- Photograph the screen so each character can be transcribed without typos.
Uconnect 4 7-inch (NA)
- Place the ignition in RUN/ACC and let the screen finish loading.
- Press and hold both temperature UP and temperature DOWN buttons together for around 5-10 seconds to enter the engineering menu.
- Open System Info / Target Main Data to view the serial number on screen.
- Photograph the display before transcribing the digits.
Pulling Out the Radio to See the S/N on the Tag
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 tag attached to the unit.
Common approach:
- Start by completely powering down the engine - pull the key out.
- Then remove the trim panel.
- Next, unscrew the mounting points and slide the radio forward.
- Look for a barcode label showing the serial number.
If Dealer Mode is unavailable on your 2019 Charger, the RA4 radio must be removed to access the serial label. The Charger's cockpit-style center stack makes the procedure manageable:
- Remove the center stack bezel – The Charger's bezel covers the 8.4" display. Insert a plastic trim tool around the edges to release the friction-clipped panel.
- Remove the 4 Torx T20 screws – Holding the radio frame to the dash structure.
- Pull the unit forward – Slide the radio out enough to read the serial label on the side surface.
The 14-character serial is on a barcode sticker. Cables don't need to be unplugged.
Releasing the Unit to Access the S/N on the Tag
If the on-screen menu is unavailable on the 2019 Charger - for example after a software update that disabled dealer mode - the chassis label can still be reached by carefully removing the head unit. The Uconnect 4 stack on the LD Charger is closely integrated with the climate cluster, so work slowly to avoid breaking trim clips.
- 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.
- Tools you will need: plastic trim removal kit, Phillips and small Torx bit set, 7mm/10mm socket set, flashlight.
- Removal overview: on the 2019 Charger the radio sits in a single centre stack bezel that also houses the climate cluster - pop the bezel out from the bottom edge with a plastic pry tool, work up the sides, then unclip the hazard/HVAC harnesses before setting the bezel aside.
- Releasing the radio: remove the screws (typically four, two top and two bottom) holding the radio cage to the dash support, then pull the head unit straight rearward.
- Disconnect carefully: release the antenna lead and the multi-pin power/data connectors on the back of the unit before fully extracting it.
- Find the label: the serial sits on a printed barcode/sticker on the top or side of the radio housing, alongside the part number and supplier markings.
- Tips: the Uconnect 4 stack on the Charger is tightly integrated with the climate controls - if the bezel resists, stop and double-check for hidden screws rather than pulling harder; if you are not comfortable working around the airbag/SRS wiring or the deeply integrated climate cluster, have a professional installer remove the unit for you.

Typical Radio Serial Prefixes and Formats
Year Dodge Charger Uconnect 4C (RA4) serial number formats:
T00AM– Standard Harman prefix for Uconnect 4C unitsT00BE– Continental-sourced variant
Radio designation: RA4 (Uconnect 4C, 8.4"). Serial: 14 characters (e.g., T00AM5028A1842). The final-generation Charger ran this platform through its last model year in 2024.
Note: The serial number is not the same as the part number (begins with P or 68). The serial alone generates the unlock code.
Typical Serial Number Formats for 2019 Charger Radios
The factory radios on the 2019 Charger use the standard Mopar/Uconnect head-unit serial style. The exact prefix depends on which Uconnect tier and which supplier (Visteon, Continental, Harman or Panasonic) built the unit.
Uconnect 4C 8.4 (UAQ / UAS / UCQ)
- Typically a 14-character alphanumeric string printed on the chassis label.
- Commonly begins with
T(for exampleT00AM,TM9,TQ1) or withA2Con Continental-built variants. - Often runs as a continuous string of letters and digits with no dashes or spaces.
Uconnect 4 7-inch (NA)
- Usually carries a Mopar/Harman or Panasonic-style serial on the chassis label - the printed sticker on the unit itself is the authoritative reference.
- Always copy the serial exactly as printed and avoid guessing characters that look unclear.
Fixing Common Code Entry Problems for 2019 Charger
The RA4 label in the 2019 Charger contains multiple numbers:
- Serial number — 14 characters, starting with
T00AMorT00BE. Submit this. - Part number — starts with
P05or68. Do not use this.
Dealer Mode via bezel corner press is the cleanest way: System Info → Radio Part Info → Serial Number. No removal required.
Three wrong entries on the Charger's Uconnect 4C cause a 60-minute lockout, displaying "WAIT":
- Keep the Charger's ignition in the ON position — engine off is fine but key cannot be cycled.
- Allow the entire 60 minutes.
- Turning the Charger off restarts the wait.
Once clear, re-enter with the correct code.
The Charger's Uconnect 4C uses touchscreen-only input for code entry — no physical preset buttons are used. When the locked screen appears:
- Press each number on the virtual keypad.
- The Charger's Uconnect unlocks after the final digit — no confirm button needed.
Should the screen not respond, cycle the ignition and wait 30 seconds.
Code failure on the Charger's RA4 typically points to the serial was misread. The label shows both the serial (14-char code beginning with T00AM or T00BE) and the part number (P... or 68...) — the serial alone generates a code.
Re-verify via Dealer Mode and reach out for a free re-check if needed.
When no code prompt appears after a battery event:
- Confirm the ignition is fully ON (not ACC) and allow 15–20 seconds to initialize.
- Check the radio fuse — fuse failure stops the radio.
- On some 2019 Charger units, a OTA update may suppress the code prompt — tap the screen once to trigger it.
Should nothing appear, a blown fuse is worth checking first.
Why Did the Radio Lock and Ask for a Code?
Final-generation Charger owners face this most often because of:
- Battery replacement — routine battery service triggers the lock on any Uconnect-equipped vehicle including the Charger.
- Seasonal storage and battery drain — Chargers used as weekend or summer cars deplete the charge and lock the radio.
- Performance electrical work — owners working on the electrical system will trigger the lock.
- Used purchase — second-hand purchase without the prior code means the radio is locked on arrival.
The unlock code is tied to the serial number and does not change.
