What the heck is this?

When installing my keyless entry module I found the device pictured below velcroed inside the lower dash panel to the top of the cubby to the left of the steering wheel. It uses that multicolored wire harness and is connected to the obd2 harness.

bought the truck used and it definitely not stock.

 

Idk what it is.

I do like the screen shot of the camera pic though

 

Probably an alarm installed by the dealership. It's a pretty common practice.

 

Tracking device, time for the tinfoil hat.

 

I know. Damn meant to edit it first.

 

No doubt

 

Big brother is watching. It knows all and see’s all.

 

Any markings on it ??

 

Looks like the foot peddle controller for the bow mounted trolling motor. The motor deploys automatically from the bumper in deep mud / water crossings when in 4low and crawl-control on the max setting (off-road models only).

Might be an auto start. There are some on Amazon that look like that.

 

Definitely a Russian listening device.

 

not that I can see. I don’t think anxalarm would connect to the obd2 harness

 

Any specific name or model number on it?

My eyes are not so good, but I think it looks like there's a logo imprinted on the case? Maybe a better shot of that will help it get identified.

My guess is that it's much more boring than you suspect.

 

Prob this or rather something similar:

 

That’s glue, I think. I’ll open it out this weekend and inspect it more. I was in a hurry to get the module installed. And yes I am sure it is boring , just curious.

 

They’re watching you.

 

Tracking device the dealerships install and probably charged you for it.

 

Think your wife had them add the special "tracking device" feature.

 

Or option B, call dealership and ask if they know or if they can ask previous owner.
