Where did you find the tracker in the car?

Connected to the OBD port with an OBD splitter to make it look like there was nothing installed there. They didn’t secure it well though, so I saw it dangling by the brake pedal.

Is that necessarily to “make sure there was nothing installed there”? Or could it be that they needed to keep the OBD port open for normal service purposes?

Yes, for the marketed use case of "put these on the cars in your lot for theft prevention", you obviously want them to be invisible.

But Honda already has telematics in these cars in the infotainment system, and it would be trivial to add anti-theft to the existing system. It all just feels a bit.. fishy.

You paid $250 to get that device removed? Did you try just unplugging it?!

It actually says “Designed in California,” like it’s a shiney iThing.
