• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I wanted to check a fuse and opened the lid and this fell out. Anyone know what this is? It has a velcro adhesive on the back of the module but wasn't stuck to anything. Looks like something Big Brother attaches to the car? Either way, not all that impressed with what's behind the lid.IMG_2260.webpIMG_2258.webp
 
Looks like aftermarket tracking device. Most likely installed by the dealer to jack up the price.
 
I think your thread name is mistyped - "What a cluster!!!" seems more appropriate.

Does anyone else have this in their tellies?

Could it be for "locate your vehicle" through UVO?
 
Do you have an aftermarket remote start? Was this a new car or prior owned?
 
Skynet? Wasn't that in the Terminator movies?

Looks very similar to the Carlink cellular module for the Accessorides remote starter.

Maybe check your window sticker and see what they added on or charged extra for.

I know I have remote start. I will take a look at Carlink to see if that's the module.

It does all that? I think my dealer needs to do a little better job explaining this stuff.

Yeah man. Straight from their website.

You can buy it from Amazon as well. Not that bad of a price for all of those features for an annual fee of $40
