Default Odb question

Bought a salvage c7 so nothing running yet but was going threw it and noticed this plug into odb port. Anyone know what this is. Maybe tracking device?

Looks like it's tapping the obd to power something. Follow the wires.

It would seem that whatever it was has been removed. I'd think someone here would recognize this. All the best.

More than likely tracking device. I’ve installed them in the past, and they use an OBD2 piggyback cable like that.
