im taking everything off my car to get it ready for new paint job n i found a little black box hooked up to the power and a separate battery. and antenna glewed to the metal.. it was hidden pretty good i would never noticed it if not a red ground connector

is that a low jack?

 

Sounds like some sort of security device. I'm sure some pictures would be helpful. Bump, because I'm curious as well.

 

 

looks like a f**ing bomb lol
especially battery cause it wrapped up in the tape

 

WTF LOL. this is new to me. gl

 

pretty sure that's a transmitter for some sort of security device.

 

I betcha thats a low jack. Im sure it can be salvaged too!

 

i dono about trasmitter "to" security device but it has only two wires going to the separate battery, two wires going to antenna and two power (ground, and +). i had a factory honda security system but i took it out and installed viper myself.

but i have no idea what this thing is, i opened it and it's built like a radio (electronicaly) im about to go to dealership and ask them wtf it is

That is a lo jack. I have one in my car as well. They can be serviced (new battery, reinstall) for relatively cheap. The battery doesn't last forever, and needs periodic replacement.

When my car was a theft attempt, the theives actually yanked out the rear seat looking for a fuel cutoff (I don't have one), and ended up pulling the lo jack from its mounted place without disconnecting it. I was quoted seomthing like $80 over the phone for a "reinstall" and new battery. I ended up just rewireing the damn thing myself is a more secure location.

 

Yup thats LoJack son...

Like the last post said you can hook it back up pretty cheap although you already took it out so I'm not sure if they'd charge you for a reinstall. They recommend you service it every 3 years. It's $99 to have it serviced and tested and an additional $40 for them to replace the backup battery.

 

watch your car not start now.

looks like a lojack to me too

 

could it be a smaller flux cap.?

 

niceee..low jack
