Dodge Charger. Apple CarPlay®

Uconnect seamlessly works with Apple CarPlay®, a smarter and safer way to use your iPhone® in the vehicle and keep your eyes on the road. Use your Uconnect touchscreen display, knobs and vehicle controls, as well as your voice with Siri, to access Apple Music®, Maps, Messages and more.

NOTE:

Feature availability depends on your wireless carrier and mobile phone manufacturer. Some Apple CarPlay® features may or may not be available in every region and/or language.

To use Apple CarPlay®, make sure you are using an iPhone® 5 or newer, Siri is enabled in the settings, and your iPhone® is unlocked the first time it is connected only, then perform the following procedure:

  1. Connect your iPhone® to one of the multimedia USB ports in the vehicle.

    NOTE:

    Be sure to use the factory Lightning cable included with the phone, as non-original cables may not work.

  2. Once the device is connected and recognized, drag and drop the Phone icon on the menu bar onto the Apple CarPlay® icon.

NOTE:

Apple CarPlay® launches immediately. You can also launch it by pressing the Apple CarPlay® icon on the touchscreen.

  • Music
  • Messages
  • Maps — if equipped
