I was reading the Wrangler Forum and the following attachment was found under the dash. it appears to be a dealer installed GPS tracker. I would suggest we all look under the dash and see if you too are being tracked. Although this appeared to have occurred in Colorado; in California, it is a felony to install a tracker on a motor vehicle without the registered owners consent, and once a vehicle is purchased, the dealer no longer has any legal authority to place a tracker on it. Quite frankly, it pisses me off that a dealer would hide such a device on any motor vehicle. My investigative firm has such devices and occasionally, we use them for LEGAL purposes only and not to spy on the activities of a private party. I ran the FCC info and this is: FCC ID Application Date Product Purpose Application Type; 2ASKH-AQA01 2021-03-02: Battery Operated LTE Cellular GPS Tracker Original Equipment: 2ASKHAQG01 2021-02-08: Arrow-VI Original Equipment: 2ASKHDL01 2020-07-20: Battery Operated LTE Cellular GPS Tracker Original Equipment: 2ASKHBT01 2020-07-14: DoorSense Original Equipment: 2ASKHALT01

Clear Lake Dodge Jeep Ram here in the Houston area also puts them in their vehicles (or some sort of GPS system). They informed me before hand though. I have an app to track the vehicle trips, engine cycles, gas level, battery level, etc etc. Not mad at it.

There have been multiple threads on this. Mopar sells the tracker as an add-on option. Many dealers install them to track inventory. The one on mine came with a three year paid subscription for access. If the car is being leased, only the permission from the leasing company is required if the tracker remains active when it leaves the dealer lot. Most of the trackers are never accessed after the vehicle is sold.

If you are concerned about being tracked, get rid of your smartphone. It is always on and reporting your location.

I would imagine these would be there for some dealer add-ons like LoJack, right? I assume that uses some type of GPS signaling? There is probably a slew of others (like DailyMoparGuy mentioned)

What you found is likely one of a few that are on-board.

The telematics in new vehicles and heavy equipment are robust. Many models have it built in to the ecm/bcm/pcm/radio. In any one or multiple of the aforementioned and canā€™t merely be unplugged.

No need for a tracker if you have a smartphone. If you donā€™t turn certain settings off it will learn you better than you.

If you have SiriusXM you have a tracker because if you vehicle is stolen you can find it.

Also if disconnect your smart phone from apple CarPlay or android auto using Google maps, if you re open the map it will show you where your vehicle is parked.


This isnā€™t new, most cars have a tracker built into the GPS and security system in the vehicle.

Same story as @FutureOdin. I have a login and should the vehicle be stolen can be a lifesaver. Also got a reduction on my insurance premium for having it installed.

If you have the navigation, then you'll also have a GPS tracker.
Even without Navigation, there's a GPS system to run the compass & set the clock.

Does it have a tracker built in?

Who knows.........

On top of all the OEM nav systems in my Jeep, I have a self installed MetroMile OBD2 module used to track milage for insurance.
