Rockford Fosgate Audio

Passengers experience high-performing surround sound with two speakers in front and two in back. Controlled by an in-dash tuner that is Bluetooth and audio-in compatible, these speakers are built to broadcast audio from your device, or use the built-in AM/FM tuner for the radio.

Interior Feature Lighting

LED feature lighting adds lights under the dash and beneath the seats to illuminate the floor of your GEM. The configurable lights can easily be switched between a brilliant blue ambient light, or a true white task light.
