The empty one on the drivers side is for the mirror, and the sensor looks the same as the amazon link.
This is a picture of the sensor I added on the drivers side, and yes it looks the same as the one on the passenger side. The part number is 56042395. Also, the Jeeps with the factory temp/compass mirror sensor came equipped with a bracket, part number 56047123-AB. I did not use a bracket when I added the Sebring mirror, i just used a bolt and wing nut.
And, here is the my mirror. I could not live without homelink in the mirror (1st world problems).

OP
Part number 56042395 was replaced with part number 5149265AB (the one I linked to in my Amazon link). That one I linked to in my Amazon is the same one that is on my passenger side. Do you know why there would already be an ambient air temp sensor on the passenger side? Seems a bit odd, no?
I'll probably skip the bracket like you did. I wish I had gotten a HomeLink mirror! I love the HomeLink on our Subaru.
I don't know what function the sensor on the passenger side performs.
I have a 2018 Crosstrek that came with a plain old mirror. I added a homelink/compass mirror to it too.
OP
I may just try and find a HomeLink mirror then in that case. Which HomeLink mirror (Gentex part number) do you have again? Do you remember the pinout of the mirror and what wires you had to swap around on the harness coming from your Jeep that plugs into the mirror? That might make my life easier not having to search around.
You'll want a 341 with the harness attached to the back of the mirror. Here is a pinout for the 341, and a picture for the factory harness wire diagram. The pins are smaller in the 341, so you can change the pins, splice, or solder.

2-no wire

4 and 5-temp sensor
6-switched 12v

This is the Gentex 341 that I have:

Thank you for helping me spend more money, haha!
Seriously though, I should have just got this one to begin with (and I would of had I known). The HomeLink is an awesome feature.

Put the cruise control kit on today. Took me maybe 20 minutes tops. Plugged right in, hooked right up, and works like a charm.
One of the easiest things I've ever done, especially since these Rubicons are pre-wired for it.
The compass mirror is going on next!

So you using the passenger side sensor or did you buy one to plug in on the drivers side?
OP
I bought the one for the driver’s side. No idea what that one on the passenger side is for.

Well, now I gotta try an find out..cause it's there for a reason, or with extras that I don't have yet..lol
OP
I wish I knew what it was for! Let me know if you find out.
OP
The Mopar bumper and aftermarket skid look great together, do you have any rear recovery points?

I don't... yet. I'm going to do what I Jerry recommended in another thread and attach some recovery hooks to the rear frame. I need to find that thread where Jerry had a photo of them, but it's what I was planning on doing.

Your rig is seriously clean and embarrassing, you should be ashamed, I will report this to the administrator!
OP
Got the Gentex 221 compass / temp mirror installed and working like a charm.
So, now the Rubicon has factory cruise control and the factory compass / temp mirror.
Pretty sure I'm not missing anymore factory options that I know of!

If there even is such a thing, I wouldn't want it, haha. I always hated the look of steering wheel covers. It only looks right if someone leather wraps it and does a good job on the stitching (think BMW).
Here's my window sticker. The leather wrapped steering wheel cover is listed under interior options.
It was still there when I got the Jeep in 2013 and fell off about two years ago. Turns out the leather was a hard, dense foam.
