True. Anything with a brand logo is always going to be more $$$. We already have to defend how much we pay for features on a Jeep...a $300 should be easy :)
Thanks for sharing! I love that setup! Jeep never released their controller that was suppose to go in the auxiliary outlet (and I am not sure I would want to give up that outlet anyway.
Does anybody have a picture of the portable speaker dock? I know that there is a Bose that is cheaper, I just have no idea what the Jeep dock looks like. I assume it taps into the existing plug behind the panel.
I have the upgraded 7" / Alpine, so the "tray" is there.
I have the factory bed liner and I am sure there are solid after-market options, the factory one is pretty solid. I would like to add a rubber mat for the bottom just so everything does not get scratched up.

I think a small percentage of people will find it useful as presented and just what they were looking for - but that is pretty niche.
For mass-market appeal, I think it would need to be a tonneau cover replacement option....that looks bad-ass.

I have the 7" radio and it did come with the acoustic windshield (pretty sure they all do at this point). I only know that because I just got a crack and have to replace. It is supposedly road noise quieter but not sure that anyone would attest to that LOL :)
