[aboudnq]

Yesterday when I was checking the fuse panel near the driver seat I found this strange device with out any information written in it


It was hanging there and I'm shore it is not originally comes with the car


Just black box with something attached on top of it like speaker and there is 3 wires connected to it

See the pictures

[fourwd1]

All of them, not just ones with cables plugged in.

2 cables are going to the battery and the other is going to the back of console and it is very hard to trace it.

Is there any possibility of taking the unit apart?

Seriously, I need to know what this is

I just can remove the upper circular part (looks like speaker) but the unit itself is sealed

Next question. Have you disconnected it yet? If not, you might get an idea of what it's for if anything weird happens. If nothing happens after a few days or a few weeks, I'd go for it, take a hacksaw or jeweler's saw to it, and open it up and see what's in it. Any information on the circuit boards, etc., will provide information about what the device is used for.

First of all thank you very much for your fast reply


I disconnected it for a while just to check the bumpers sensors and the over speed warning sound and I found everything working fine

but as you said it might be something else


any way one of my friends said this is a tracking device used by some companies which work on selling card (leasing) to trace any one and take the car again if he doesn’t pay the loan monthly


I will disconnect it for a week and I will update you if anything happens


thank you

Cool. I'm interested to see what the device turns out to be.

I also was thinking something along the lines of a tracking device, for locating the vehicle if stolen (like Lo-Jac in the USA), but I don't see anything that resembles an antenna wire. And the round thing does look like a speaker.

They probably disguise there tracking devices. I thought it may of been a external CB speaker to mount under the dash.

If it's got 4 plugs and it's connected to the battery it may be infact a tracking device. No labels, sealed up well.


Suspicious...
