2006–2010 Chassis Codes: LX | Model Years: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010
This page provides the complete 2006–2010 Dodge Charger radio wiring diagram for the rear-wheel-drive LX platform. Use this guide when installing an aftermarket head unit or troubleshooting your factory stereo in a 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010 Dodge Charger.
The 6th generation Charger revived the nameplate as a four-door sedan built on Chrysler’s rear-wheel-drive LX platform, shared with the 300 and Magnum. Trims ranged from the SE and SXT up through the R/T, Daytona, and the SRT8. Chrysler’s UConnect hands-free Bluetooth system became available starting with the 2007 model year, and an optional touchscreen navigation head unit (the REN/RER-series radio) was offered alongside the standard non-navigation units. An optional Boston Acoustics premium sound system with a trunk-mounted amplifier was available on several trims. Because factory head unit type, amplifier presence, and steering wheel control wiring all vary by trim and options package, confirm your exact radio and audio configuration before ordering aftermarket installation components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 2006–2010 Dodge Charger have a factory amplifier to bypass?
Only on trims equipped with the optional Boston Acoustics premium sound system. That setup adds a trunk-mounted Amplifier and, on some configurations, a subwoofer, and the factory speaker outputs feed into it rather than being powered directly from the Head Unit. Base SE and SXT trims without the premium sound package are not amplified, so speakers connect directly to the head unit outputs. Identify which system your car has before choosing a wiring harness adapter, since amplified and non-amplified LX Chargers require different installation approaches.
Will I lose UConnect Bluetooth or navigation if I replace the factory radio?
Yes, in most cases. On 2007 and later Chargers equipped with factory UConnect hands-free Bluetooth, or on Chargers with the optional touchscreen navigation head unit, those features are built into the factory radio module. Replacing the Head Unit with a standard aftermarket unit removes factory Bluetooth calling and navigation unless you install a separate aftermarket Bluetooth-capable receiver or a specialty interface designed to retain those functions.
Does the 2006–2010 Dodge Charger have steering wheel audio controls, and do they still work with an aftermarket radio?
Yes, steering wheel-mounted audio controls were available on this generation. Because the LX platform uses a data-bus (CAN/PCI) based steering wheel control signal rather than simple resistor-ladder wiring, a basic wiring harness adapter alone will not retain steering wheel control functionality. A separate SWC retention interface module, in addition to the wiring harness adapter, is required to keep steering wheel audio buttons working after a Head Unit swap.
Is the wiring the same across SE, SXT, R/T, and SRT8 trims of the 2006–2010 Charger?
The core head unit connector and pinout are shared across LX Charger trims, but the audio wiring differs based on options rather than trim level alone — specifically whether the Boston Acoustics amplified system, UConnect, or navigation was ordered. Two Chargers of the same trim year can have different factory audio wiring if one was optioned with premium audio and the other was not, so confirm the actual equipment on your specific vehicle rather than assuming based on trim name.
