Hey guys,

I got the car detailed and took the headlights out ready for the clear bra install tomorrow, to my surprise when looking inside the drivers side opening i found this giant battery pack looking item.

The item itself looks like a battery pack, weighs about the same as a maglite.

It has one cord coming from the bottom and going in to the trunk and two little rubber antennas also coming from the same end.

The unit itself seems to be 2 smaller units wrapped in electrical tape then in hockey tape. There was a bead of black silicone (I guess used to secure it down)....

Any ideas what this could be? The dealer is closed right now so I haven't had a chance to ask them yet...

Lojack?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help ...

 

Where exactly was this in the wheel well?

 

resting on top of the fender liner, from the looks of it previously it was siliconed to the underside of the fender just above the wheel arch of the fender liner

 

Tracking device!!!!!

 

+1 on GPS tracking device. Was the previous owner a shady character?

Although law enforcement tracking devices typcially would not be hard wired, only battery operated. Where does the wire into the trunk go specifically? Connected to the car's battery?

 

It looks very similar to a Skypatrol tracking device. I would remove it.

 

LOL....I was the previous owner, but only for 4 months (and not shady guy.....unless you talk to ex-gf's from high school). Guy before me who had it from new was a local doctor

you should un-peel that tape to see any markings or brands.

 

that's not a regular issue gps or LoJack kind of deal... that's law enforcement's grade tracking device.

 

Definitely not LoJack!

 

Why did you remove the headlights for installation of a clear bra??

 

Seems to me someone's wife got suspicious...humm the doctor and a possible nurse ;o)

 

Most quality installers do - to roll the edges of the material.

Did Arnold Schwarzneger own this car? Poor Maria was probably trying to keep up with him!

 

High grade tracking device. Thats not lojack. If it was someones wife, I HIGHLY doubt she would remove the wheel well and silicone this up in there. Wives hide devices INSIDE the car somewhere. This is 100% a LE tracking device.
