I'm really enjoying this 2021 Eco diesel Rubicon, with AEV JT 370 upgrade.

I have a couple questions regarding some unknowns....

1) There is a what looks to be an electrical connection behind the back passenger seat, what is it for?
2) What are those 3 plastic pieces for part number #33401
Reference photos below.

Thanks in advance!

What is this electrical connection for?

The electrical connection is for the portable Bluetooth speaker, and the plastic panels are dividers for the box under the rear seat.

it looks like it was built with the Bluetooth option so it should have come with the speaker. If it is built without that option it is just an empty pocket there to store stuff.

Yes its an empty pocket, I can't find the blue tooth speaker and I see i paid for it. This is not what I paid this was MSRP, I got a FCA discount called a CDI discount. Thank you sir!

So you don’t have the Bluetooth speaker at all? Hopefully wasn’t taken before delivery or while at the aev shop? Have you checked other places in your jt for it?

It doesn't look like he has the speaker option installed. I have it and it looks different behind the speaker, from the connections to different hookup options behind it. This looks to me like the option wasn't chosen. I would still ask your dealer. They may have taken it out while it was on the lot/from delivery and forgot to install it?

I ordered my truck with the Bluetooth speaker and during my initial check found that it was missing and the dealer didn't even know it was missing. They ordered me a new one but someone took the original, either during the shipping/storage part or at the dealers lot.

No the speaker was not in the big plastic bag, nor under the seat. I checked all inside the vehicle and do not see it. I called the dealer, he's checking with the transfer dealer and AEV for the speaker.
Thank you.

Interesting, same thing that's happening to me, thank you for sharing.

My sheet states wireless bluetooth speaker, unless this is something different.

Same here. Mine was supposed to have the bluetooth speaker and a freedom panel bag when I bought it, but these had been "relocated" to someone else's Jeep. The salesman said that unfortunately happens with parts that can be removed easily. Dealer had a replacement speaker in parts they gave me immediately, and had the freedom panel bag waiting for me the next day.

Ya I saw it on the build sheet but I thought my cradle looked different, but I just went out to my truck to look and it is the same. I'm sure your dealer will make it right. I've got to say though, the batting average for the speaker being powered up the few times I've wanted to use it is <50%. I'm not sure what's up with the charging but it's only really powered on a handful of times when I've tried to use it.

Someone probably figured after the vehicle changed hands a couple of times, nobody would miss the speaker and stole it. Id like to think it was misplaced by accident, but people are such shitbags and always looking to come up at any chance right or wrong.
