Is this some kind of fix for a recall on a 2023 RAM ecodiesel? It was zip tied close to the obd port and steering column area onto a support. It has a button connected by 2 wires. There are a total of 8 quick connect splices into the factory harness. I bought this truck with 1800 miles on it from a Mazda dealer that got it from an auction. It was originally purchased in California from a Ram dealer.

GPS/tracking device. I've found one in the last two Ram's I've bought. Some dealers use it for inventory purposes. Some sell it to the end customer as a GPS locator in case the vehicle is stolen.
Its usually piggy backed on the OBD port.
If you search the forum, you'll find other instances.

Remote starts don't piggy back off the OBD port. Its a gps tracker.

Its a sloppy job for sure. The ones I've found were easy to remove as they just piggied on the backside of the OBD. I even took one of the back to the dealer ( I knew it was in there, they TRIED to sell it as an add-on) I can't imagine having to undo all that splicing to remove it.I’d be pissed to see all the wires spliced like that on a basically new truck.

Homeland Security is onto you. I would destroy your hard drive now and ditch all the other evidence. They typically come late at night so you still have time. Make sure you aren't followed. Don't disconnect the tracker until you are finished. Use another car when moving evidence.
