How to find your Jeep Wrangler radio serial number
On the label
- Take the radio out.
- Copy the serial from the label on the radio: 14 letters and numbers.
Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand — 0 and O, 1 and I are easy to mix up.
It comes out with a pair of radio removal keys. Which keys, and where they go: how to remove a car radio.
Tips for your Jeep Wrangler
- Photograph the label — the serial length tells us which radio it is.
- A Uconnect touchscreen is matched to the vehicle, so there is no code to buy.
- Many US-market radios have no code, which catches out imported Wranglers.
