    I have a little box mounted by my right rear jump seat. Green lights that beeps when i back up and I'm close to anything. (not very accurate). Is this factory or a aftermarket back up sensor?

    Don't think any BU sensors were factory until 3rd Gen.

    Can't be factory. blinks and beeps when I back up when I'm close to something(sort of). Looks like a proximity sensor. very annoying.

    definitely not factory. If it were me I would pull it out. You can remove the plastic trim pieces to get those cables out too.

    I'm not even for sure what it is. It beeps and blinks green when I back up. but not steady. It acts like it is a sensor but sometimes there nothing behind me for 100 feet and just something beside me. ?

    Id just pull the plug on it and take the screw off remove the thing. Maybe wrap some electrical tape around the plug and stuff it back under where the wires are coming out. Maybe it was a delivery truck or something. Definitely not stock.

    Are there sensors on the bumpers? (added in)

    Does it beep outside? Like warning folks you are backing? You know, like real trucks have. Err, I mean big rigs have.

    I think it would be fun to pull the panel and follow the wires. There's some module somewhere under hood or under dash that's gonna tell you what it is.

    It is a gps tracker, they know where you are!!! na jk looks like a 'dont run into stuff' alarm. it is aftermarket for sure tho. if you remove it also look for a sensor of some sort outside of the vehicle.
