While exploring my "new" 2020 Glad Overland, I found what appears to be electrical contacts behind the rear passenger side seat. Does anyone know what might go here ?

Thanks, but I mean the 6 brass-colored pins under the black strap ?

I can also confirm that this is the Bluetooth speaker that came in the Gladiator through 2022 I think. My 2020 came with it and it wasn't in the truck when I picked it up along with the small tool set. Dealership said they take all that stuff out when they sit on the lot but they had to order me a new speaker and ship it to my home. It was probably sitting in a mechanics bay somewhere getting used. :)

It's a serviceable speaker. It does not have great sound quality but gets the job done for its intended use. More often than naught I have to reset it to connect to it as I don't use it much but it's nice when I want to use it!

I've been looking on eBay and Marketplace for a replacement. Man, they're really proud of those things !

That's where the optional Bluetooth speaker is supposed to mount for storage and charging.

They didn't stop in 2022, they are still available on the newest ones. It's also an option on every model except the Launch Edition, which includes it as part of the package.

I find the sound quality to be pretty good, especially for a speaker I'm using outdoors while doing stuff or camping.

Mine has fallen into a campfire...don't ask...and still keeps on going. 😂 I thought they stopped this option at some point because it was just not that great, I could have sworn I read. Amyway, nice they're still an option.

I'd be happy if they left that gimmicky stuff off and gave us an onboard air compressor option.
