Hidden tracking device plugged into OBD2 port

Where is it? I cannot tell from the photograph.

The indicator light (also has a button that I guess is the on/off switch) is located under the driver's side footwell (lower right side). The wire connected to it runs behind the center dash (area for the USB cubbie) which runs into the module (mine was zip tied to some cabling behind the glove box). That module has a bound cluster of wires running into the passenger side footwell panel (lower right side) where I assume it's hardwired in for power.

Snip snip, see what happens. If nothing, keep on snipping wires.

LoL, I already tried removing the GPS module and my dash lit up with warning icons (e.g., hood open). So, I'm guessing I can't just pull out the pigtail (which is what I was initially going to try).

Dealers install this and call them lojack. I rip them out of every new car I get and dump them in the trash.

Yeh, I usually do the same. I have a collection of actual lojacks in a box somewhere. This particular unit seems to be more deeply integrated into the car. I haven't yet taken a look to see how it's wired in, but the dealer is likely going to remove it as a courtesy--given that I own the car and didn't subscribe to any security feature.

Yeah I was going to say yours isn’t one of those I was taking about.
