I removed the cellular modem from my '21 JLUR yesterday. The process was simple and took about 30 minutes. Happy to write up more instructions, followed some found on another forum.
Fortunately — for now! — these devices are installed as a removable daughtercard, and the head units features degrade gracefully if removed. I could see FCA making this more difficult in the future.
Best (free) mod I've made yet, and I feel so much better without this bloatware (a) tracking me, and (b) providing always-on remote access into my car. (If you feel differently, great; I feel better + I am not out to convince anyone they need to.)
(Daughtercard is the PCB with the 3 pigtail connectors. You're seeing the underside with a big white splotch of thermal paste).
