OP here. Chinese knock off on it’s way back to Amazon, ordered one from the company in VA that invented these. Try again next week. Still can’t see the damn plug, above the UD port three inches, tight quarters up there.
It's not easy to get to.
You COULD lay down the outermost hood switch and ignore the messages and have the same results.

I'd be wary of plugging anything like that in and leaving it. Seems like a cheaply engineered wizbang that is just going to cause issues down the road.
I’ve had one of Amazons units in for 2-1/2 years with no issues. Truck may explode tomorrow but no problems so far.

I'd be concerned about something being in there during a flash of some sort or diagnostics.
I saw a very nicely done timer circuit that does plug into the back of the disable button and can't possibly interfere with anything.
That or go with the unit the forum sponsor here sells - may be more pricey, but you get what you pay for sometimes as opposed to a Chinese Amazon seller.

You would think that Jeep would have made it easier to turn off the feature. Maybe a button on the dash or something.
That would be too much like exercise and as a fat American, I am not down with that.
