What is this?

Hi. Does anyone know what that thing is in my pictures? I bought the truck brand new 2017 OR dblcb. It’s right next to the obd port. Looked at the QuickStart and manual couldn’t find it. I was thinking it might be something for the trailer brakes?

 

Russian listening device

 

Kinda looks like a dealer add on of some sort - alarm system, maybe?

 

Unscrew it and read the label on the back side?

 

not stock item, someone added that. tracking device?

 

It’s a dealer installed alarm.

Alarm

 

It could be a microphone for your radio/phone.

 

Its a dealer installed ignition cutoff, my last truck had one, just left it

 

This. A lot of dealers put them on for convenience of being able to use a master key for all the vehicles on the lot and then instead of uninstalling them, they try to charge you anywhere from 100-800 bucks for the "upgraded" alarm. You can uninstall it if you want, but I would just leave it be. It's a dead circuit so it isn't doing any harm.

 

Take it back and demand they remove it.

 

They left one on my truck, too. I didn't realize it wasn't stock. That close-up makes it pretty clear they drilled holes in the dash to mount the POS.

 

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the help!

 

As well as a new kick panel. How hard is it to put in screws straight, that would bug the shit out of me.

 

The wiring on that thing came loose. It then cut my engine from starting. Dealership had to send a guy out to remove all of the crap they added.

 

Are the upgrade-able to a 3X button press remote start? All of the remote starts I've been looking at seem very similar to these, my truck came with the same one in your pics.

 

Wait are you saying that the remote start is already installed on my truck or at least the wiring is, and i just need the module?

 

That's the questions i'm asking.

 

Tire pressure.

 

For the one I had in my truck it was not a remote start. It was a separate engine kill. The dealer would use their fob on the truck then start the engine.
