I've been interested in this as well. I needed that under the seat for storage but now that this isn't my daily driver I can start looking at it again. I did notice that they now have two different version with one having everything under the back seat and one with just the battery under the seat and the rest is under the hood.

This is on my short list of mods. I plan to go with the under hood version. (Battery under the back seat, bus bar wiring under the hood). I'm still debating which batteries to go with. I like the idea of easy to source, I just haven't convinced myself that I don't need the Odyssey or Full Throttle from their site.
Sorry OP, I don't have the system installed yet.

I finally installed the Genesis Gen 3, under hood option, on my 2021 Diesel Gladiator. At the same time I performed the aux battery delete. Somewhere during the process I blew the PCM. I missed a step, got in a hurry, allowed cables to short, and poof… all power available but then The radio thought it was stolen and the Jeep would not start without $1500 worth of Jeep Service and a PCM. That was last week.
After getting the jeep back, I took my time, followed the steps and directions, ensured I taped off all the battery leads, finished the aux battery delete steps, then proceeded to closely follow the rest of the Gen3 procedures to finish the installation. The results are fantastic! I went with Optima yellow top 94R batteries. Overall very satisfied with the options I have. My only regret is the extra expense of my all thrust, no vector approach to slinging cables around during installation. Big shout out to Mike at Genesis for calling me back and responding to contact. He was super professional and makes a great product in the Dual battery system. Everything works as advertised.

Glad you got it all back up and running. I noticed you are also running the NORCO 2D. Are you still running that or have you removed it? I also noticed you are in Canyon Lake, I am just down the street in Bulverde if you ever want to meet up.

Hey Neighbor!
Yeah, still have the Noco 2D battery tender. Since my jeep sits a week or so at a time, I feel better keeping the batteries in good shape. The way I have the batteries connected through the Genesis and the Noco setup, the crank battery charges first and then the second battery tops off too.
