Key Features of the Metra AXAMP-CH3

1. Keep Your Original Factory Radio

The AXAMP-CH3 allows you to integrate aftermarket amplifiers with supported factory radio systems.

Maintain your original radio appearance and supported factory features while upgrading the audio equipment in your vehicle.

This is ideal for customers who want improved sound without replacing the dashboard stereo.

2. Six Channels of 5V RMS Audio Output

The AXAMP-CH3 provides six channels of 5V RMS preamplifier audio output.

These channels allow installers to connect compatible aftermarket amplifiers for:

• Front door speakers

• Rear speakers

• Subwoofer amplifiers

• Multi-amplifier systems

• Full-range audio upgrades

The higher-voltage audio outputs provide a strong signal for compatible amplifier inputs.

3. Dedicated Non-Fading Full-Range Outputs

Channels five and six provide non-fading, full-range audio.

These channels are especially useful for aftermarket subwoofer amplifier installations.

Because they are non-fading, the signal does not change when adjusting the factory radio's front-to-rear fade control.

The outputs can be used with compatible amplifiers and appropriate crossover settings.

4. Plug-and-Play Vehicle-Specific T-Harness

The included AXAMP-CH3 T-harness is designed to connect to compatible factory vehicle wiring.

Benefits include:

• Simplified behind-the-radio integration

• Reduced wiring complexity

• Vehicle-specific connections

• Cleaner aftermarket amplifier installation

• Less need to modify factory radio wiring

Additional amplifier wiring and installation work are still required.

5. Works With Amplified and Non-Amplified Factory Systems

Unlike some amplifier integration interfaces that only support non-amplified factory radios, the AXAMP-CH3 is designed for both amplified and non-amplified configurations in supported vehicles.

This gives installers additional flexibility when upgrading Chrysler and Dodge factory audio systems.

Important: Factory-amplified vehicles may require amplifier bypass wiring and additional installation components.

6. External Bass-Level Controller Included

The AXAMP-CH3 includes an external bass controller for convenient audio output level adjustment.

This makes it easier to adjust the bass signal without reaching the amplifier's gain controls.

It's a useful feature for customers installing aftermarket subwoofers in a Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, or Dodge Journey.

7. Two-Channel S/PDIF Digital Output

The AXAMP-CH3 provides a two-channel S/PDIF digital audio output for the front channels.

This offers an additional signal connection option for compatible digital audio equipment.

A properly matched digital signal processor can help provide more advanced sound tuning.

8. No Software Programming Required

The AXAMP-CH3 is designed for installation without software programming.

This helps streamline installation for qualified technicians working with supported vehicles.

9. Dual-Color LED Status Indicator

The interface includes a dual-color LED indicator to provide feedback during operation and troubleshooting.

10. Amplifier Turn-On Trigger

The AXAMP-CH3 provides a 250mA DC amplifier turn-on trigger.

This allows compatible aftermarket amplifiers to switch on when the interface activates.

Chrysler and Dodge Vehicle Compatibility

The Metra AXAMP-CH3 supports select Chrysler and Dodge factory radio applications.

Make	Model	Model Years
Chrysler	300	2011–2014
Dodge	Charger	2011–2014
Dodge	Journey	2011–2020

Important Vehicle Fitment Information

The AXAMP-CH3 is not compatible with every Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM vehicle.

Compatibility depends on the factory radio, amplifier configuration, wiring connectors, and vehicle equipment.

For amplified vehicles, the factory amplifier may need to be bypassed or disconnected. Additional amplifier bypass harnesses may be required.

Always verify the exact year, make, model, and factory audio configuration before purchasing.
