So I got the little behind the seat Bluetooth speaker with the Gladiator I bought over the weekend.
My question is has anyone had any experience with it not turning on at all? I like to think I'm pretty technically inclined, at least enough to turn on a Bluetooth speaker.
I've read the issues with the speaker not connecting to Bluetooth but I haven't seen anything about it just 100% not powering on.
I'm hoping that it's the speaker that the issue and not the built in charger behind the seat. Let me know if anyone has any experience with it.

a few of us have had it or spoke of it. If you lift the rubber plug on the back and take a ball point pen to the reset button, it should work.

There are a bunch of threads on this. Seems quite a few have had DOA BT speakers (myself included). Go back to the dealership and get a replacement ordered.

Once you get it working you might need to do this. These speakers can only sync to one phone then you have to do a hard reset to sync another one. Happened to me when I got a new phone and tried to hook it up. Best of luck

Tried that once before but hey what do you know I tried it again and it turns on this time. Thanks for the help guys.

And I'll be sure to save that picture somewhere easy to find.
