    Hey group,

    I am up in Canada. Up here the 2020 Off Road Premium does not have the factory LED headlights, nor does it have the JBL system, although I believe the US models do. Does anyone know if you can get those upgrades put in either at the dealership or by another source ... or is it even possible? The dealership said it’s not possible. I am not sure why? Maybe the wiring from the factory is not compatible? They never said why, just simply said “no, it doesn’t work!”

    Thanks.

    Regarding LED headlights, there are a few harnesses floating around here on the forums. I don't recall who makes them but there was one that had little to no problems. The others seemed to have issues. Hopefully someone can assist you on that.

    Regarding the JBL, I would opt for upgrading using a system like what OEMAudio+ offers, or craft up your own upgraded stereo system. The guys here with JBL typically want more and say it lacks. Even if it's possible to upgrade to factory JBL, it is probably cheaper to take a different route.

    The only reasoning I can think of for the LEDs is that they do not generate enough heat to melt the snow off the housings, so in order to avoid complaints they just left them off of most trims here in CAN.
    I’ve had LEDs on a few vehicles and I’ve disliked them in the winter [especially driving at night], glad to have halogens in the winter.
    Invest in some good bulbs and make sure they’re aimed properly and they’re not as bad as people make them out to be.

    Stereo system wise... I have no idea.
