Weird Device on Top of Battery
I was moving over my LCI tail lights to my M4 when I noticed this black device tapped into the battery. It's velcroed on top of it.
Anyone happy to know what it is? It doesn't look OEM to me at all. UPDATE: It's a GPS anti-theft device by Spireon - Kahu. Last edited by louielouie; 11-14-2019 at 11:34 AM.. |

Is your vehicle leased or financed? Some third party finance companies have trackers/kill switches installed on their assets should you miss payments so they can repo or disable the car until it's whole.
I just removed the battery in mine before I stored it and it didn't have anything like that on it. |

That is definitely some kind of aftermarket device. Pull it up to see if you can find any type of markings on it and get on Google to help identify what it is....

Interesting... Reminds me of the Verizon Hum device I installed in my teenager's car to track his whereabouts.
