[QUOTE="4play, post: 3269738, member: 7223"] My bet is it was leftover from a tote the note place from the past unless you bought it from a place like that. Regardless of if you paid cash or not, some lots put those in all vehicles and they usually remove them but some slip through the cracks. The OBD2 wire tap is a popular spot because they have a hot all the time wire. The 2 wire hookup is simply for gps tracking only, nothing else. Depending on the tracking program, they can map routes, times, stops, speed, and can track vehicle in real-time or the last known signal (unplugged or hidden). Most employer or helicopter parent ( haha ) type devices simply plug into the 16 pin OBD2 port. Similar to the ones insurance companies try to get you to use. Some can also monitor vehicle parameters, like throttle/brake usage, acceleration/deceleration rate, speed etc. [/QUOTE]
