Dodge Charger: UCONNECT MODES / Phone Operation
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the Uconnect Phone and to navigate its
menu structure. Voice commands are required after most Uconnect Phone prompts. There
are two general methods for how Voice Command works:
- Say compound commands like “Call John Smith mobile”.
- Say the individual commands and allow the system to guide you to complete
the task.
You will be prompted for a specific command and then guided through the available
options.
- Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for the beep, which follows
the “Listen” prompt or another prompt.
- For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For example, instead
of saying “Call” and then “John Smith” and then “mobile”, the following compound
command can be said: “Call John Smith mobile.”
- For each feature explanation in this section, only the compound command
form of the voice command is given. You can also break the commands into parts
and say each part of the command when you are asked for it. For example, you
can use the compound command form voice command “Search for John Smith,” or
you can break the compound command form into two voice commands: “Search Contacts”
and when asked, “John Smith.” Please remember, the Uconnect Phone works best
when you talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone sitting
a few feet/meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a Natural Language Voice Recognition (VR)
engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in phrases or complete sentences.
The system filters out certain non-word utterances and sounds such as “ah” and “eh.”
The system handles fill-in words such as “I would like to”.
The system handles multiple inputs in the same phrase or sentence such as “make
a phone call” and “to Kelly Smith”. For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sentence,
the system identifies the topic or context and provides the associated follow-up
prompt such as “Who do you want to call?” in the case where a phone call was requested
but the specific name was not recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog. When the system requires more information
from the user, it will ask a question to which the user can respond without pushing
the Voice Command button on the steering wheel.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to know your options at
any prompt, say “Help” following the beep.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle, simply push the Phone button (if active)
on your steering wheel and say a command or say “Help”. All Phone sessions begin
with a push of the VR button or the Phone button.
Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say “Cancel” and you will be returned
to the main menu.
You can also push the VR button or Phone button on your steering wheel when the
system is listening for a command and be returned to the main or previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect Phone To A Mobile Phone
Use this QR code to access your digital experience.
To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must pair your compatible Bluetooth®-enabled
mobile phone. Mobile phone pairing is the process of establishing a wireless connection
between a cellular phone and the Uconnect system.
To complete the pairing process, you will need to reference your mobile phone’s
manual. Please visit UconnectPhone.com for complete mobile phone compatibility information.
NOTE:
- You must have Bluetooth® enabled on your phone to complete this procedure.
- The vehicle must be in PARK or at a standstill.
Follow the steps below to pair your phone:
- Place the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
- Press the Phone button.
NOTE:
If there are no phones currently connected with the system, a pop-up will
appear asking if you would like to pair a mobile phone.
This pop-up only appears when the user enters Phone Mode and no other device(s)
have previously been paired. If the system has a phone previously paired, even
if no phone is currently connected with the system, this pop-up will not appear.
- Select “Yes” to begin the pairing process.
- Search for available devices on your Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phone.
Press the Settings button on your mobile phone.
Select “Bluetooth®” and ensure it is enabled. Once enabled, the mobile phone
will begin to search for Bluetooth® connections.
NOTE:
During the pairing procedure, you may receive a pop-up on your touchscreen
asking you to make sure the PIN on the touchscreen matches the PIN from the
pop-up on your mobile phone.

make this phone the highest priority. This phone will take precedence over other
paired phones within range and will connect to the Uconnect system automatically
when entering the vehicle. Only one mobile phone and/or one Bluetooth® audio
device can be connected to the Uconnect system at a time. If “No” is selected,
simply select “Uconnect” from the mobile phone/audio device Bluetooth® screen,
and the Uconnect system will reconnect to the Bluetooth® device.
