Which radio is in your Jeep Cherokee?
Jeep fitted different radios over the years. Find your Cherokee’s years below, but go by the serial: radios are often swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Jeep Cherokee radio serial number
The serial isn’t shown on the screen: it is printed on a label on the radio itself. The serial tells us exactly which code your radio needs.
On the label
- Take the radio out.
- Copy the serial from the label on the radio: 14 letters and numbers.
Take a photo of the label rather than copying it by hand: it’s easy to mix up 0 and O, or 1 and I.
Most radios slide out with a pair of radio removal keys (a few pounds from any car parts shop). Push them into the slots on the front until they click, then ease the radio forward. Some have screws to undo first.
Tips for your Jeep Cherokee
- Photograph the whole label — the serial may be four numbers or fourteen characters.
- A 14-character serial is looked up by hand and emailed within 2 hours; a 4-number one is instant.
- Sat nav (Becker) radios and Uconnect screens aren’t ones we can do.

If your Jeep Cherokee radio says LOCKED, WAIT or SAFE
Each wrong code makes the radio wait longer before the next try, and some radios lock for good after too many. Don’t guess: get the right code first, then follow the steps for your radio.

Why we use your radio’s serial, not your number plate
A radio code belongs to the radio, not the car. A dealer usually looks it up from the Jeep Cherokee’s number plate or VIN (the 17-character number in your logbook), which only works if the car still has the radio it left the factory with. Radios are often swapped under warranty, upgraded, or changed by a previous owner.
The serial number is printed on the radio itself, so the code we give you matches the radio in front of you. It is also how we can check it for free before you pay. Main dealers often charge £30–£130, and you usually have to book the car in.
Jeep Cherokee radio code questions
Where is the Cherokee radio serial?
On the label on the radio, so the radio has to come out.
Which code will I get?
Four numbers, keyed in on the radio’s own buttons.
My Cherokee is an American import.
Many US radios have no code at all. Send us the serial and the free check will tell you.
How much is a Jeep Cherokee radio code?
£9.99 per code. The free check comes first, so you only pay once we know we can do it, and you get your money back if the code doesn’t work.
How long does it take?
Most Jeep Cherokee codes appear on screen the moment you’ve paid, and we email you a copy. If yours has to be looked up by our team, we email it within 2 hours and tell you before you pay.
What if the code doesn’t work?
Check the serial first: 0 and O, or 1 and I, are easy to mix up. Still stuck? Tell us from your order page and we’ll put it right or refund you in full.
