Section 717 (Audio/Video/Entertainment/Connectivity (Service Information)): Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Chrysler 300 and 2019 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Several combinations of radio receivers and speaker configurations are offered. The audio system operates on a non-switched fused B(+) battery current source and is turned ON or OFF by electronic messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus so that the system will only operate when the status of the ignition switch is RUN or Accessory (ACC).

Navigation is standard in the Uconnect® 4C NAV radio for this vehicle. Refer to DESCRIPTION .

All radios have an internal Hands Free Module (HFM). There is no external HFM because all hands free functions are integrated into the Radio Receiver Module (RRM).

The audio system includes the following components:

Antenna - The base radio antenna is integrated into the backglass and includes an electronic antenna module located on the header above the backglass opening and concealed above the headliner. The base antenna is capable of receiving AM and FM signals. An optional body color, multifunction (satellite audio, GPS and cellular) antenna is located at the rear and center of the outer roof panel. A Phase Diversity antenna is used for certain markets that require it.
Power Amplifier - Four optional audio power amplifiers are available with certain premium audio systems. The amplifier is located on the instrument panel support structure under the driver side end of the instrument panel. Refer to AMPLIFIER, DESCRIPTION .
Radio Noise Suppression Components - Devices designed to suppress Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) radio noise are used in this vehicle. Refer to COMPONENTS, RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION, DESCRIPTION .
Radio Receiver Module - All models of this vehicle are equipped with the 8.4 inch display Radio Receiver Modules (RRM). Refer to RADIO, DESCRIPTION .
Remote Radio Switches - Remote radio switches are located on the instrument panel side of the steering wheel spokes. Refer to SWITCH, REMOTE RADIO, OPERATION .
Speakers - Several optional speaker packages are offered in this vehicle. Refer to SPEAKER, DESCRIPTION .
Media Hub - A media hub, including two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports and an auxiliary cable input jack, is located within the storage bin of the center floor console. Refer to MEDIA HUB, DESCRIPTION .

Certain functions and features of the audio system rely upon resources shared with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CAN data bus network. The RRM contains a microcontroller and programming that allows it to communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network - Interior High Speed (CAN-IHS) data bus. The RRM can also receive electronic message inputs over the CAN-C data bus; however, the RRM is not a CAN gateway. All of the RRM electronic message outputs are through the CAN-IHS data bus. Refer to COMMUNICATION, DESCRIPTION .

Many of the audio system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If they become damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced. Those that can be repaired must be serviced by an authorized electronic warranty repair station. Refer to the appropriate warranty policies and procedures information.
