This is a genuine OEM Mopar Front Center Dashboard Radio & Climate Control Trim Bezel removed from a running 2013 Jeep Patriot Latitude 4WD SUV. Stamped cleanly with factory part identification code 1PL231DVAB, this authentic dashboard housing includes both structural directional face vents and is engineered as a direct replacement to fix loose accessory mounts, broken or sticky louver slats, drill holes from old phone cradles, or scratched fascia surfaces.
As an authentic factory-original structural trim component, this bezel is molded from heavy-duty polymer materials engineered to resist warping, heat cracking, and rattling over rough terrains. Opting for a genuine factory core replacement is critical for post-facelift Patriots; cheaper aftermarket dashboard dash shells often feature misaligned spring tab clips, causing annoying squeaking or structural gaps around your stereo console. This factory trim component snaps flawlessly into your Jeep's factory dashboard structure, bringing back clean original styling lines instantly.
Please precisely verify your physical dash styling, part number stamp, and vehicle build lines before purchasing. This part fits:
Jeep Patriot SUV (Sport, Latitude, Limited, Altitude, High Altitude): 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 (Also covers 2015–2017 facelift production windows)
Jeep Compass SUV (Sport, Latitude, Limited): 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 (Shares identical center console dash frame configurations)
Application Warning: This trim bezel is engineered explicitly for 2011–2017 post-facelift model lines featuring round directional dash vents. It will NOT work for older 2007–2010 pre-facelift production lines, which utilize a completely separate rectangle vent structure and different physical radio opening footprints.
Simple Snap-In Integration: This center console trim fascia is completely mechanical and requires no specialized programming or technical calibrations. To swap out your worn panel, gently work a non-marring plastic interior trim wedge tool under the lower seams above your shifter assembly to release the internal spring steel retention clips. Pull outward evenly to avoid straining the tabs, slide your factory emergency hazard flasher harness button out, relocate your existing climate control block over to this replacement shell, and snap it straight into your dash.
Functional Air Vent Assemblies: Both left and right central air vents are fully intact with smooth internal linkage pins, ensuring direct airflow adjustments with no loose or sagging slats.
Intact Retention Mounting Clips: All main plastic mounting posts and structural alignment pegs are verified uncracked and present for a snug, rattle-free fitment.
Clean Cosmetic Condition: Textured faceplate skin features excellent color consistency with no deep gouges, sun-bleached patches, or broken framing rims.
Direct Factory Fitment: Reclaims tight factory tolerances surrounding your double-DIN OEM radio or aftermarket head unit.
Packaging: Shipped inside a thick, structural box protected by dense bubble cushion layers to prevent the long plastic trim edges and outer structural clips from snapping during transit.
