Antenna on Windshield in Upper Right Corner?

Hello; I bought my first Corvette yesterday (2002 Z06), and I thought I saw everything until I found this.

Does anyone know what this antenna/sensor/GPS tracker does? It doesn't look OEM to me (no part number molded into the case), but I could be wrong. I have a stock radio, and no aftermarket bluetooth/satelite radio/ remote start/etc.

I wanted to see if it's OEM before I remove my headliner and A-Pillar trim to track down where the wire goes.

Not a factory item. You may just need to pull the A Pillar trim to see where it is going.

Could be something like a interstate speed pass maybe?

Careful. It may connect to the secrete Flux Capacitor.

I have an 'Easy-Pass' on my windshield, but it is held in place with a Zip-Tie sort of strip. That way you can move it from your car if it goes into the shop.

Never saw anything like that on any of the three C5s that I owned. Good luck tracking it down.

Look up easy pass or something similar for your state. It might clear things up.Here is Georgias. Could also be for those car washes that have unlimited memberships.
