-SD — Dark/Medium Quartz. This code identifies the factory seat style, upholstery, or interior trim configuration. Browse Sales Code codes →

The equipment report for my 2015 Dodge Challenger lists -SD: “Dark/Medium Quartz. This code identifies the factory seat style, upholstery, or interior trim configuration” I cannot find or activate the feature. Could this be a production deletion, a market-specific code, or a component that has been replaced?

That code should be read as a factory configuration identifier, not necessarily a guarantee of a separate dashboard control. Some equipment operates automatically or is bundled with another system.

The safest interpretation is the one tied to the exact VIN, model year, platform, and market. In general, -SD matches “Dark/Medium Quartz. This code identifies the factory seat style, upholstery, or interior trim configuration” but the included hardware can vary between applications.

My experience has been positive, but the benefit depends on how the vehicle is used. I would treat -SD as confirmation of the configuration, then evaluate whether that equipment matters for your driving.

The dealer should be able to pull a VIN-specific equipment or parts record. Ask them to search by VIN rather than entering only the three-character code.

Check the production month as well as the model year. Mid-year changes are one reason two vehicles with the same badge can have different hardware or descriptions.

For a retrofit, check the modules, wiring connectors, software configuration, and compatible part numbers first. Installing the visible component alone may not make the feature operational.
