Simultaneously debuting at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, audiophiles will be able to experience firsthand demonstrations of the Beats By Dr. Dre audio system within the Chrysler Group exhibits at both venues. Beats by Dr. Dre founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine worked side-by-side wîth the engineering team at the Chrysler Group to design and tune the 10-speaker audio system. The resulting audio experience offers the new 2012 Dodge Charger sound that only music experts like Dr. Dre, a legendary producer and artist Iovine, an acclaimed producer and chairman of Interscope Geffen-A&M Records, could achieve.
'Dodge Charger owners are people that are highly emotional about their connection wîth their favorite music,' said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen-A&M Records and co-founder of Beats by Dr. Dre. 'There's nothing more exciting than a high performance car combined wîth a high performance audio experience – and the integration wîth Beats Audio technology into the Charger is the next logical step in our exclusive automotive expansion wîth Chrysler Group.'

The system currently is standard wîth the 2012 Chrysler 300S and available as an audio upgrade in additional Chrysler 300 models. The addition of the Beats by Dr. Dre audio system to the 2012 Dodge Charger lineup emphasizes the partnership and commitment by Chrysler Group and Beats by Dr. Dre to bring the latest technological advancements in sound quality to Chrysler Group's newest models. The Beats Audio system will be standard equipment on the 2012 Dodge Charger R/T Max and included wîth the Blacktop Package or Rallye Appearance Group on Dodge Charger SXT models. The Beats Audio system is also included wîth the Sound Group and Wheels and Tunes Group on Dodge Charger R/T models.
