Does the 2010 Dodge Charger have Bluetooth?
Yes. Bluetooth connectivity was available on the 2010 Dodge Charger, but only when the car was equipped with the Uconnect hands-free system as part of a trim level or optional package. It was not universal across every base configuration.
In this article, we explore how Bluetooth was offered in the 2010 Charger, how to tell if a specific vehicle has it, and how to use the system if it’s installed.
Bluetooth availability by trim and option package
Bluetooth functionality depended on the Uconnect system and the packages installed. The following notes summarize typical configurations for the 2010 Charger, though exact features could vary by market and dealer.
- Uconnect with Bluetooth Hands-Free: This feature enabled Bluetooth calling and audio streaming. It was not guaranteed to be standard on all trims and often required adding the Uconnect Hands-Free option or a higher-end package.
- Presence on different trims: Higher trims and some option groups commonly included Uconnect/Bluetooth as part of the package; base models could lack Bluetooth unless the package was chosen.
- Navigation or premium audio packages: Some configurations that included navigation or premium radios also included Bluetooth as part of the Uconnect system.
In practice, if your specific 2010 Charger has Bluetooth, you would see a “Phone” button on the Uconnect screen or a "Phone" option in the infotainment menu, indicating Bluetooth hands-free connectivity is available. If you don’t see these features, Bluetooth may not be installed on that vehicle.
How to verify Bluetooth on your 2010 Charger
To determine whether your Charger has Bluetooth and to pair a device if it does, follow these steps:
- Turn on the ignition and the Uconnect system. If you have Bluetooth, the Uconnect display will show a Phone option or Bluetooth setup.
- Press the Phone button on the steering wheel controls or on the Uconnect screen to access Bluetooth pairing prompts.
- On your smartphone, enable Bluetooth and select the vehicle’s Uconnect/Bluetooth option from the list of available devices. If prompted, enter the PIN shown on the car’s screen (often 0000 or 1234) to pair.
- Once paired, test hands-free calling and audio streaming to confirm Bluetooth functionality. If pairing fails, check that your phone supports Bluetooth profiles compatible with the Uconnect system and ensure the device is not already connected to another system.
Note that some models may require a software update or dealer-installed equipment to enable Bluetooth, and certain older Bluetooth versions may have limited compatibility with newer smartphones.
Common issues and solutions
If Bluetooth is present but not functioning, these quick checks can help diagnose issues:
- Confirm the Uconnect app or Bluetooth settings are enabled and not restricted by any parental controls or phone restrictions.
- Ensure the vehicle’s Bluetooth system is discoverable and not paired with another device.
- Try removing any previously paired devices, then re-pair a new one following the pairing prompts exactly.
If problems persist, a dealership can verify the system’s hardware and perform a software update or install the necessary module if missing.
Summary
Bluetooth on the 2010 Dodge Charger depended on having the Uconnect system with the Hands-Free package. It was not universal across all base configurations, but many higher-trim or optioned models included it. If you’re uncertain about a given car, check for the Uconnect “Phone” feature and attempt a pairing with your phone to confirm functionality. Always verify via the window sticker or with the seller if you are shopping used.
