So, I'm not well versed in this stuff and thought I'd take the somewhat easy route of allowing my factory radio (I want to keep it looking stock) to speak Bluetooth. I went ahead and picked up https://www.discountcarstereo.com/blu-chry02.html thinking it would Just Work, but it's not. I also know I could have gone with a simple Bluetooth FM transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter, but I didn't want to do that.
I confirmed 11.2V (is this enough?) coming out of the 10-pin accessory socket on the back of the factory radio with a multimeter, but the Bluetooth module does not appear to be getting power.
Appreciate any thoughts on where to go next as I'd really love to get this to work.
Also, since I'm new here and can't send private messages, I'm going to try noting @Daryl per https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/1-factory-radio.19641/post-323456 and @brewtus98 per https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-add-bluetooth-to-your-oem-radio.20063/post-1205911 specifically here in the hope I can get you guys to chime in since it appears you are using this device.
The device is also mentioned in these threads, but I can't seem to call out the OPs specifically for some reason:
