help me identify what this could be ???
just found this box under the globebox and wanted to see if anyone knows what this may be ... i contacted the dealer from where i got my truck and they said they did not installed any trackers at all (my H2 is already paid for ) so i see no reason for them not to tell me if they had one installed .

That is a GPS tracking device. It uploads the tracking data through cellular services which is what the SIM card is for. I have no idea on the brand but I've seen and installed a bunch of them in the ambulances we have.... Depending on the model it may also have a tie into the ODBII serial line to provide additional data like engine running, tachometer, temps, etc as well.
If you do not know why you have a GPS tracking device I'd strongly recommend that you promptly pull the black cap off the wire and remove its fuse and then proceed to fully remove it. |

I do have my own tracking devices but they are self powered not wired to anything on the truck this thing got my attention today ,thanks for the fast reply..... I wonder if I just need to cut off the entire thing or should I go somewhere and have an expert on this thing trace and remove anything else related to this ?..... |
Looks like the Onstar gps to me.

That is definitely aftermarket the inline fuse did not come from the factory. You may want a professional remove it and see if it is attached to anything else.

Realistically you should be fine removing its fuse and SIM card. With those out its dead, and no possible way for it to track you. The bigger blue connector with the antenna cables does look factory and probably part of the Onstar setup. I'd leave that part alone....
