Section 39 (Audio): Audio: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota and 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

An audio system is standard factory-installed equipment on this model, unless the vehicle is ordered with an available radio delete option. Several combinations of radio receivers and speaker systems are offered as optional equipment on this model. The audio system receives fused battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) at all times. The internal circuitry of the radio permits the radio to operate dependent on a fused 12 volt signal from the ignition switch. The audio system includes the following components:

Antenna
Clockspring (with remote radio switches only)
High-line Central Timer Module (CTM) (with remote radio switches)
Power amplifier (with premium speaker system only)
Radio noise suppression components
Radio receiver
Remote radio switches (optional)
Speakers

( For clock spring information, refer to AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS (2003) or AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS (2004) and CENTRAL TIMER MODULE . For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. Following are general descriptions of the remaining major components in the standard and optional factory-installed audio systems.
