Found this while hardwiring a radar detector

Does anyone have any idea what this is? It definitely doesn't look factory. Bought the truck new last week.

Looks like a GPS tracker. Might have been installed by your dealer, and your sales contract may include language allowing it, so I would read your sales contract and ask the dealer.

I bought my truck used and a locksmith found a tracker. There was some burbage in the contract about using a GPS, but I asked the dealer and they said they didn't install it and believed it to be disabled, so I removed mine.

Thanks. That's what I thought it was but I didn't want to jump to any conclusions haha

Yup... Dealer installed GPS, in case you don't pay or something..

Mine has one because I had them instal it... it comes with an app so I can track the truck and even put a geofence that’s it won’t allow the truck to pass. In my case it’s an insurance discount for having it

Thank you for all the replies. I am visiting the dealership on Tuesday, so I will ask them about it then. A GPS tracker is not listed in my sales contract whatsoever.

Where exactly did you find the tracker? Now I'm curious to see if I have one.

Right under the driver steering wheel. I was opening up that panel to tap into the fuse box there and I saw a wire and a box that did not look like it came from the factory

Someone, somewhere, will manage to blame this on Trump...

Thankfully it wasnt found under the "passenger steering wheel".

Or the backseat driver steering wheel

Wait............you guys don't have 2 steering wheels in your car? Weird.

I did not option out my truck for the dealer installed additional steering wheel location

I didn’t want my wife behind the one wheel... no way I’d give her an optional one instead !!!

Sometimes banks request dealer to install depending on risk.

One of the dealerships I went to while shopping for my truck had S.W.A.T. installed in all the trucks. Could be a discount for the dealership's insurance premiums but it was a non-negotiable $1500 added to the price of the vehicle whether you wanted it or not. Needless to say I didn't buy a truck from them.

Call Swat, give them the last 8 of your VIN. If not active, take it out.

Perhaps your wife installed it! Happened to a fellow I work with.
