I was installing my badge glow and when I pulled off the cowling, there's a connector here. It's on a 2021 JLU

Any ideas what it is?

For the adaptive cruise control system, that your JL does not have.

I've got the same unused connector, and my 2019 JLUR has the advanced safety package with acc. Only options I didn't get are smokers group, dual top, body color fenders and top, and any of the overpriced Mopar add-ons.

I once tried exploring some of the wiring schematics found on this forum, but started going cross-eyed before getting a bead on that connector.

Is it possibly a pre ran harness for the mopar a-pillar lights?

Certainly looks like it. Very cleanly done.
The only thing that makes me doubt my own suggestion, is that if the factory supplied that connector for their lights, they probably would've also dedicated an aux switch to them. Unless they did, and none of us are aware of that connector being hot when one of the aux switches are on.

Possibly a dealer add-on? The factory aux wiring is in a bundle, all unterminated and wrapped in electrical tape.
It looks way too clean to be a dealer install. I didn't see any twisty ties. Lol

Maybe it's pre-planned ground work for a future factory option that they wanted earlier model years to easily add? I'm hoping it's gonna be an advanced security system for would-be thieving scumbags.

That would be for the optional taco dispenser power connection. Once hooked up you can select types of tacos you want via the off-road pages, menu 3. I find the asada with lime the best option. They magically appear in the center console by the USB port.

or

no idea.
