Don't pay or wait more than you need to for your Chrysler PT Cruiser radio code. We generate most Chrysler codes instantly, so whether you listen to Heart FM or your own tunes – we'll get you back into your radio or navigation in minutes.
When your Chrysler PT Cruiser radio or navigation becomes disconnected from the battery or installed into a new car, it automatically locks and begins to ask for a radio unlock code, also known as a security code. As this is an anti-theft feature it's not possible to unlock a Chrysler navigation without this code, but generating your 4 or 5-digit radio code is an easy process that can be done in minutes. Most dealerships decode the radio code from the VIN number, but this code will be wrong if the radio has ever been changed in the vehicle's lifetime.
The easiest and most accurate way to get your Chrysler PT Cruiser's code is by decoding it from the radio's serial number. There are two ways to find this serial number – a fast one and a slightly slower one.
Many Chrysler radio and navigation models show their serial number on the display when asking for a code. This will usually start with a T (for example, T00AM0882T0787).
Simply enter this serial number into our Chrysler PT Cruiser radio code generator above and your code will be generated immediately after payment. If your navigation doesn't show your serial number on the display, you'll need to partially remove your radio to find your serial number instead. If you've already removed your radio you can skip straight to identifying your serial number below.
Don't worry – this is not as hard as it sounds, and for most models you won't need to disconnect any wires. Simply slide out the radio from the dashboard and look for a serial number matching one of the examples below. The only tools you will need are a pry tool to remove any trim that's covering the radio, and a standard Philips screwdriver to unscrew the radio itself. To find the easiest and most specific instructions needed to remove your Chrysler radio, click here to search YouTube for your vehicle's model and model year - for example, how to remove a 2011 Chrysler PT Cruiser radio.
Once you've slid out your radio from the dash, take pictures of the label on top of it and compare with the image examples below to identify your Chrysler radio or navigation's serial number. Most of the time the serial number will start with T:
If your radio doesn't have a serial number beginning with T, look for one that starts with A2C or A3C instead:
Once you have your serial number, all that’s left is to enter it into our Chrysler radio decoder and generator at the top of this page.
Careful
Because we incur costs and fees for every code we generate, our Refund Policy does not usually cover codes decoded from incorrect serial numbers. For this reason you should always double-check that the serial number you enter into our decoder has the same letters and numbers as the serial number on your radio (don't worry about spaces). We will always make exceptions in obviously confusing situations, such as when a Q looks like an O or an I looks like an L.
Since we have one of the largest databases of Chrysler serial numbers and radio codes in the industry, we also have one of the highest decoding success rates and are able to decode many Chrysler PT Cruiser radios that others aren't, and usually at a cheaper price. Some of the Chrysler radios and navigations that we can generate instant codes for include:
Unfortunately, it's not possible to unlock a Chrysler radio asking for a security code without entering the code. This is intentional as these codes were originally designed as an anti-theft feature to make it harder for thieves to steal and resell car radios.
Due to the costs of running a small business providing radio codes around the world 24/7, it's not possible to sustainably offer Chrysler radio codes for free. There are many decoding services out there that attract customers with the word "free" only to reveal a price at the very last second or fail to deliver a code at all (as shown by their TrustPilot reviews). Our prices will always be shown up-front, and our radio codes are already priced as low as possible while allowing us to stay profitable, provide reliable UK-based support and continue adding more models and manufacturers.
Not only were we the first radio decoding company to offer radio codes for all manufacturers at one fixed price, we were also one of the first to charge as low as £4.99 - before we came along virtually no decoding company offered radio codes at such an affordable price, and to this day we still beat 95% of our competitors on price, without making you wait around for your code.
Unfortunately it's not possible to generate a Chrysler radio code from the registration plate at all. Although most dealerships and some online decoding sites do use the VIN to decode the radio code, this is not reliable due to being tied to the car rather than the radio. This means that if your radio was changed since it was first manufactured, a radio code decoded from the VIN will be incorrect. For this reason we decode the code from the radio's serial number for the best chance of unlocking your radio.
All our PT Cruiser radio codes are decoded instantly, displayed on the screen immediately after payment and sent to your email at the same time. To ensure that your code and receipt are sent to you, double-check that the email you enter when paying for your radio code is correct. If it's been more than 2 minutes since you purchased your code and you haven't received your email, get in touch with us so we can look into why this might be. In most cases this is down to a misspelt email address.
So you've located your serial number, entered it into our radio code generator, and received your decoded radio code in return. Congratulations! Now comes the best part: using your new radio code to unlock your PT Cruiser radio.
This process varies depending on your vehicle's radio. Each of our Chrysler radio codes come with simple instructions to enter your new code at no extra cost. To receive your entry instructions, double-check that your email address is spelt correctly at the payment stage. If it's been more than 2 minutes since you purchased your unlock code and you haven't received your email or receipt, get in touch with us so we can look into why this might be. This is usually down to a misspelt email address.
