I bought a car 2nd hand from a dealer and didn't know my car had one of these. I paid cash for my car, no financing. My car left me stranded sometimes and it turns out this was the cause! The company who installed it in my car was disabling my car for no reason, even though there was no lien on my vehicle.

They sell you your car, and then make money from your insurance company. Disgusting.

Several years back there was a disgruntled fired employee at a dealership who still had access to the dealer system, and he went in and disabled the starter on all the customers' cars who had these tracking devices. More than 100 cars total.

I know this video is a few years old, but I just wanted to let you know. The way they wired it, it was only for ignition on power. In order for it to be a starter kill, they would cut the wire, and 2 wires from the tracker would go to the splits. One to one side, one to the other. Also, according to that schematic, if they used that blue wire with a white stripe, it would cut the ignition power.

This is disgraceful! Thank you for your efforts in identifying this whole thing and bringing it to the attention of all of us… 👍👏✊

A lot of dealers put these on every vehicle they sell and they make you pay for it, usually $400 or more on the addendum sticker. Mine is called KAHU. They market it as a theft recovery device or "if you forgot where you parked" like it's for your benefit. You CAN pay a fee and be able to track the vehicle yourself but it's mostly for the bank.

Just pulled one off my truck. Bought it from a used lot where they were legit with me and affirmed there was when I asked as part of buying (I've had a vehicle stolen, so cool, fine by me). For most of the payment term I had a Bluetooth OBD dongle plugged in before I removed it for an insurance dongle. Paid the truck off months ago, insurance asked for their dongle back and during the brief period while nothing was plugged in I noticed a green light flashing down to the floor board from behind the dash. Cleaner install than what you showed... Black and red tapped into wires going to OBD, green wire going into a relay wired between the cut white/blue. Had to pop the lower dash off to get high enough in the dash to pull it free of the two-sided sticky Velcro and to get my Klein's up to snip off a couple zip ties. Bell-capped the white/blue on the relay sides of those joins. Truck starts so mission accomplished. ...now I just need to finish up my RaspberryPi based cellular gps tracker and get it installed so I can sleep at night again...

I inherited a Jaguar S Type and want to put a tracking device on it, but want one that works like my old one, cuts engine, GPS, microphone, etc. But the problem that I have with my old one was that it worked only via text messages, don't like that part. Is there one that works via an app, that you can wire the device to cut engine, and all the other things?

They track and report info to insurance companies who then decide how much they'll rip you off.

WOW.. thanks for the video, I found one of these on our Ford Edge today.. we bought this car from a used dealer a couple of years ago and today my wife noticed a wire hanging down.

Not even sure if the used car dealer did this or someone else before that but I am damn sure going to call them about it.

This person had time to set that up. The beeping kind of defeats the purpose of covertly tracking a vehicle. A normal person shouldn't be able to track you through your phone unless its compromised, usually with physical access. If you find a device like this don't call your bank, call the cops. There are some really deviant individuals in our world , everyone be safe.

Do you know if you kill power to this will fit affect the vehicles ability to start? I bought a used truck, it definitely should not be on there. Mine has red, black and green wire. Is green output and can only shutdown ignition or fuel if powered up?

Any tips for hunting for these? Bought an old fleet truck and now I'm paranoid.

The dealership I worked at always informed the customers about the GPS tracker. It was part of getting approved for the loan. We never rigged the starter disable feature.

I found a tracking device a a RV that I recently bought. looks a bit different than the one in the video. has the word stargard on the label. it was taped into the wires near the obd port. check any type of vehicle.

aaaaand this is why I like older vehicles, especially made before 1981

do they all beep like that? or are some silent ?

Hey man just to be clear who have the control of that GPS Module? I mean who can see, track where we are going ?

Any recommendations for a GPS tracking device that actually works for a Turo care, so I can see the speed and real time location of car etc. Thanks. Also to bad I cant unlocked the car remotely using a device so customr can get the key from inside that car rather then hiding it underneith the vehicle in magnetic key holder.

Hi. I have a 2014 Ford Fusion with a parasitic draw. I actually found one of these gps trackers (not for me as the car has no loans). Hot wire was into the fuse box under the hood and grounded. Nothing else wired to it. I unhooked it and the car wouldnt start. Re installed it and it started. I looked inside under the steering column and by the interior fuse box, under the hood by the starter and by fuel pump. I literally cant find anything else connecting this thing or another tracker/disable unit. Any advice? My teenage daughter drives this car and I definitely dont want a tracker on it that I dont know about. The car dies if not driven every couple days.

From a criminal's purpose of using a tracker could be to let them know when you are away from home so they could be robbing you while you aren't there. They could also steal things from your car. Someone switched out my brand new battery with an old one. It was very noticeable with the old one being dirty and not the same brand. I had to buy another battery in the same week. I went through a series of many things disappearing from car. I returned back to car after being in movie theater or mall finding rubber around driver door window removed. Someone had been in my car.

Thanks. The funny thing is, I took it to the dealer (not where we bought it - we purchased out of state) who said the same thing. But when he noticed the connector pin was askew and half out, he unplugged it and said "see if it starts". It did start and seems to be running normally. Just to be thorough, I'd like to verify that lojack is no longer transmitting data and that the whole unit is gone. Is there a way for me to be sure? Again, thanks!

Ed Keosada some people do that for piece of mind.

Penske, Ryder etc. have them in too Sometimes taken out... sometimes not. 😮

My truck belonged to Orkin. They left the GeoGo device. I guess I can simply unplug the box?

Can u do a video on steps n location of gps trackers

Wow man, that’s crazy and interesting at the same time. Now I’m going to be under the dashboard of my car for the next couple of days. I didn’t notice any weird rouge wires when I hardwired my dash camera into the fuse box which I think is good.

Leo H. It is interesting that’s why I decided to make the video. What makes me mad is if a car is paid off whoever paid to have tracker installed should have to pay to have it removed.

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I brought a 2007 Jeep commander from a buy her pay here place. My interest was around 22%. Because of that high interest i paid off my Jeep over a year early than the payment plan..one day for some odd reason my negative BATTERY terminal broke in half and Oil Light was flashing on dash as well before car shut down and i discovered the broken terminal. Dad came with a new battery installed the new battery and Jeep wouldn't start. We pulled it to the ranch tried to jump it again but no Dice.

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Anyway long story short i discovered the same Black Box with red & green lights connected to similar colorful ribbon wire but only the Red & Black wires seem to be in use ..rest of the color ribbon wire colors where cut off. 2 red wires one on wired in pink wire to Ignition switch the other to the OBD port...those 2 red wires came together with a #15 Fuse. Do you think my jeep also has the relay with white wire to the starter? And i took black box out. Still no start.. Not sure what to do with the lose black & red wires. But the rest of the black& red wires go up to this dvd player mounted on the roof of the Jeep. ( Not the same DVD player that i saw in the owners manual i should add)

@@jonathanlaque4248 It’s to hard for me to know without seeing it in person. Most likely it had a starter kill wired in somewhere. Check under your fuse box in the engine compartment for a relay that looks out of place or wired into fuse box separately. If it does then that’s why it isn’t starting. You would have to remove the relay and fix the wiring.

I want to buy a used car, paying cash. The dealer gave me a quote with _"Kahu included"_ I don't want Kahu since I pay cash, not finance. I told them I don't want Kahu, but when they gave me another lower price, do some maths, I think the cost of that Kahu is still in there. Thanks for the video, if I go buy the car, I now know where to check if they still got kahu installed in it.

CL You are welcome! Any out of place wiring should be obvious to you that way you can ask about it.

It isn't a starter kill unless the blue/white wire was actually cut. It was more than likely just a starter sense wire, or an improperly connected device. I'm not even convinced that was a tracker, not without a view of it's label.

@@fixitman2174 oh it was tracking device for sure. Been doing this a long time

I found one around my car battery last night while I was working so t know why it’s there ??? Anyone has any good ideas about this situation.

I just found the one in my truck. The ribbon cable is cut. It only has a hot and ground. Is the ribbon cable only for the ignition kill
