#2Wow. I can't help you identify the device, but curious if you have any ideas as to who might've installed this. Did your car have a previous owner?

New car, bought from dealer, who swear they did not install it and are blaming another dealer from whom they acquired the vehicle.
As far as the dealer goes I intend to make a lot of over-the-top demands and threats until they replace the wiring with all-new OEM parts and a lifetime warranty, but I think I'll start from just pointing to California Penal Code 637.7, demanding a completely new vehicle, and seeing what happens.

I encourage heavy demands, and talking with an attorney if they so much as twitch about it. “All the warning lights on” in a brand new car is a special hell.

Maybe somebody can find what that somewhere is, or help with how to go about that.
