JBL Sound Bar accessory review / impressions?

[Nite93]

Anyone buy the JBL sound bar accessory VM2DZ-18808-J(2Dr) and VM2DZ-18808-K(4Dr) with their Bronco yet? I have been really curious about this product. Would love a review, before I purchase one.

Wondering the same. I hope/wish there is a way to hardwire it rather than Bluetooth. Love JBL but to get a seamless sync would be ideal.

I wonder if JBL designed a specific mount/clamp system for the Bronco.

I purchased a BOSS setup while it was on sale but now worried it's mounting system may not be compatible (as it is destined primarily for Quads).

Nobody going to mention the fact that it all but blocks rear visibility…

Bingo - and that is why I haven't purchased it.

Is it BT? Looks like it replaced the original speaker pods and maybe they're wired into those plugs?

I recall @Tricky Nick ordered it

What rear visibility? But it's way back there... Can't imagine it'll help much.

JBL website says bt connectivity and easy removal, they are also designed for Razrs.

I do not know for sure if this one for the Bronco is the JBL version I believed it was with the RCA / Bluetooth/ 3.5 jack, which I had posted links to. I guess I will confirm with you all once I get my bronco (7/16 Blend date and being shipped to IA thereafter).

I was going to buy the JBL Sound Bar for my Bronco, but they’re not available yet. If you look at the Ford Accessories website, they’re not listed. As soon as they’re available, I’ll write up a review for everyone.

That’s the one I believe as well. Which is the same as the razrs and has a slight lag if you have your input through CarPlay and factory speakers and through BT to the jbls

I want this too for when the top is off, but I read somewhere it doesn't work with the B&O system.

It looks like it literally is right behind your head

I found it on a local Ford dealer accessory site. They are offering a nice discount.
