#22I'm far from an expert in this field, but that looks an awful lot like a 3rd part remote start add on.
Here's a tear down of one that looks pretty similar in principle:

#23Aftermarket remote start.
Tracking devices don't need to be nearly so complicated nor hard wired into the ignition.
If it's a remote kill for a lease/lender then you'd expect some ability to transmit it's location. Why go through all the trouble of installing a remote kill that can't transmit it's location nor actually disable the car (it still works after removal)
[edit]
Going with the KARR "dealer alarm" per other post.

#24If you google KARR Honda or KARR Alarm you should find some better information.
I found identical looking devices by using Google Lens and focusing on just the black box with the green button.

#25Remote starter. They are hack jobs to install. 435 MHz is the frequency the remote uses to start the car.

#26Wow. 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…
Have you pulled a Carfax report for the vehicle? What’s the title history look like?

What is the usecase for a remote starter? I don't really understand why someone would want this. Could even be dangerous if it's left in gear.

#28How about the tracking device I'm your pocket?

To heat your car when it’s cold outside, prior to your entry.

#30If the car is new ask Honda if the device should be there, if not ask the dealer a new car. I would never feel safe driving a car tampered by who know who.
You say it's a 2020 car, how many miles have you driven with the unknown device plugged and doing its job? Crazy stuff.
