Already been discussed at the other site: http://www.***************/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24761

It's the receiver antenna assembly. It receives operation signals from lock/unlock, trunk lid, and panic buttons on the ignition key (transmitter), as well as tire pressure signal from tpms transmitter. Then, transmits all of them to WCM.

^ I believe that is the Event Data Recorder that records information before and during an accident.

Yours records top speed, launch attempts and lateral G's.. Mitsu mechanics then upload that data to corporate and your insurance co.



Dunno? Maybe a dealer-installed lo-jack?

ETA: I knew that looked familiar! Found your thread from 2yrs ago..

@ AK47..

Yeah, yours looks identical to this one (except theirs was in the center console). They looked up the part number, and it was a LoJack receiver.

Case solved

Pretty crappy of the installer to put the LoJack box _there_. I'd call 'em up and have them reinstall it somewhere you won't happen across it.
