I googled the number 4-6340-20 and it brought up this: https://manuals.plus/phillips-connec...-device-manual

The model #'s are very similar. Maybe previous owner installed a tracker.

Probably left from the dealer. Most use them now and often forget to remove them at point of sale.

That's probably it because they did say it was installed with GPS tracker in case it got stolen. Thanks

Funny, I had a 2017 Kia Sportage I bought around three years from CarMax. Well one day I was looking for the OBDII port and found a Novatel Wireless GPS tracker plugged in!! It was blinking and active too. I asked CarMax about it, they had no clue. Said it wasn't theirs. Someone said maybe it was a fleet car, but it the top level SX model. You usually don't see those as fleet cars. So no idea why it was there! LOL I know it wasn't one those insurance trackers because they usually say Allstate, Geico, etc on it.
