Default FOB/plus

The FOB that comes with the Vette also has a bell-shaped black addition that hangs on the same ring...is this part of the FOB system or a separate item. The FOB has the door lock/unlock buttons as well as the trunk opening button and alarm...correct? What is the other item and what does it do ?? Was never told what it did as I bought the car as a pre-owned from a BMW dealership. Thanks

You have a 2005-07 model? Can you post a picture of your fob?

Probably a lojack early warning fob.

Does it look like this?

I'm guessing here but maybe it's a Mild to Wild FOB ?

Exactly like the first one...on the left !! You say it is for a Lo Jack ?? Interesting as I did not know this car was equipped with one. What does it look like under the hood or whereever they place it or is the FOB the only piece you need for tracking purposes??

It was a good guess based on the description.

That fob is for the lojack early warning system. If the system is registered to you and then the car is moved without that fob near the car youll get a phone call, email or whatever other alert that you set up with lojack. Its an additional feature added to the standard lojack.

You should contact lojack and see if you can get the lojack transfered over to your name since its still probably set up with the original owner.
