2015–2023 Chassis Codes: LA (LX Platform Facelift) | Model Years: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023
This page provides the complete 2015–2023 Dodge Charger radio wiring diagram for the facelifted LA-platform Charger, the final generation before discontinuation. Use this guide when installing an aftermarket head unit or troubleshooting your factory stereo in any 2015 through 2023 Dodge Charger.
The 2015 refresh brought a new front and rear fascia (including the signature full-width “racetrack” LED taillight), an updated interior, and the arrival of the supercharged SRT Hellcat, later joined by the Scat Pack, Widebody, and other high-performance variants. Factory infotainment moved through several UConnect generations across this run — UConnect 8.4, then UConnect 4 and UConnect 4C NAV — with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration added as the platform matured starting around the 2017 model year. The optional premium sound system switched from the Boston Acoustics setup used on earlier LX Chargers to an Alpine-branded amplified system with a trunk-mounted subwoofer. Because head unit generation, smartphone integration, and amplifier presence all vary by model year and options package, confirm your exact factory radio and audio configuration before ordering aftermarket installation components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 2015–2023 Dodge Charger use the same premium sound system as earlier LX Chargers?
No. Starting with the 2015 refresh, the optional Boston Acoustics premium system used on 2006–2014 Chargers was replaced by an Alpine-branded amplified sound system with a trunk-mounted Subwoofer. If you’re pulling wiring information from an older LX Charger guide, note that the Amplifier location, wiring, and bypass procedure differ from this generation’s Alpine-equipped setup, so confirm which system your specific model year and trim has before wiring an aftermarket unit.
Will I lose Apple CarPlay or Android Auto if I replace the factory radio?
Yes, if your Charger has factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration through UConnect 4 or UConnect 4C NAV (added as the platform matured starting around the 2017 model year), that functionality lives in the factory Head Unit and is lost when it’s replaced. Many owners choose to retain the factory UConnect touchscreen and add a separate audio/amp integration for aftermarket speakers or a Subwoofer instead of fully replacing the head unit, specifically to keep factory smartphone integration and backup camera functionality intact.
Do Hellcat, Scat Pack, and Widebody Chargers have different radio wiring than SXT or GT trims?
No. Audio wiring on this generation is determined by which infotainment and sound system options were ordered, not by which performance package or engine the Charger has. A Hellcat and a base SXT with the same UConnect screen and audio package share the same Head Unit connector and speaker wiring; the performance trims themselves don’t introduce unique audio wiring.
Do steering wheel audio controls still work with an aftermarket head unit on this generation?
Not without additional hardware. As with the prior LX-based generations, steering wheel audio controls communicate over the vehicle’s data bus rather than through simple resistor-based wiring. A wiring harness adapter alone will not retain button functionality — a separate steering wheel control retention interface is needed alongside it to keep the buttons working after a Head Unit swap.
