Need help identifying this part?

Too small for a bomb. Remote controlled Sarin gas dispenser?

My car doesn't have it (2010 prius II).

 

Do you have an aftermarket alarm system? Could be a glass breakage sensor.

 

CIA or KGB monitoring device?

 

Or wifey's monitoring device.

 

Looks like a sensor to an alarm system. Is your car equipped with an alarm system, factory or aftermarket?

Any lettering or numbers that you can see on the part?

 

If it was connected to the ODB2 port it could be one of those things some insurance companies are trying to get people to use that evaluate your driving and report to big bro. Could also be one of the the GPS trackers some car dealers install so they can track the car if it is stolen off the lot. What does the wire connect to?

 

I bet the wire is a power lead connected to the 12V system to power the thing. Probably a tracker either installed by the dealer or one of those things people put in to track their spouse or their kids. I think I would disconnect it in either case.

 

Is your car equipped with an aftermarket or factory alarm system?

 

Hm..my PiP has that exact port for an alarm system module

 

Doing some searching, it looks like it might be a Karr Security System module

Factory Alarm Enabling - Page 3

 

That's right...KARR security indeed

 

Anyone knows how to disconnect it and take it out of the electrical system?

Uninstall it? Do I go to control panel first?

 

Good find Peterjmc that's it alright. I did a Google search for "karr security system removal" and it turned up quite a few links that might be helpful for removal. Apparently quite a few people have problems with these things.

Here is a link with pictures Karr alarm, how to uninstall residue - Honda Element Owners Club Forum

 

If you did not pay for the KARR system it is not activated, the dealer can disconnect it, or shut it on or off, an KARR rep can do the same. I have a KARR system on my 2012. Like any alarm its neither here or there in the long run.

 

I like this comment there: "It was a t-tapped clusterf$%k of an install."
