The 2025 Dodge Hornet comes equipped with the advanced Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, designed to give drivers a seamless and modern audio experience. Whether you’re tuning into the radio or streaming music from your phone, using the stereo system is straightforward once you understand the layout and features.
To begin, power on the stereo using the physical knob located on the center console or by tapping the touchscreen. This knob also controls volume adjustment. From the home screen on the 10.25-inch Uconnect® display, you can choose your preferred audio source—options include AM/FM radio, SiriusXM®, Bluetooth®, USB, and auxiliary input. Switching between these sources is as simple as selecting the corresponding icon on the screen. If you want to save a station, just hold down one of the preset buttons to lock it in.
The Hornet also offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. To connect your smartphone, ensure that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your device. Then, select the Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ icon on the touchscreen and follow the prompts to pair your phone. Once connected, you can access apps like Spotify, Google Maps, and more directly from the infotainment screen.
To fine-tune your listening experience, open the audio settings menu where you can adjust bass, treble, fade, and balance. If your Hornet is equipped with the optional Harman Kardon® premium audio system, you’ll also be able to enable surround sound for a more immersive experience.
Voice command functionality is accessible via a button on the steering wheel, allowing you to change audio sources, play music, or make phone calls without taking your hands off the wheel. If you run into issues—such as an unresponsive screen or sound problems—try resetting the system by pressing and holding the volume knob. For persistent issues, refer to your owner’s manual or visit a Dodge dealership service department.
The Uconnect® 5 system is built to keep you connected and entertained effortlessly. With just a few taps or voice commands, you’ll be enjoying your favorite audio content in no time.
