It looks like an aftermarket product to me, and I wonder what it is, too.

It's a GPS tracking device your significant other installed to keep tabs on you. It's a strange looking thing. I'm curious too.

That's your VR module. Hit the speak button on your wheel and hold it until you hear a beep. Then say instructions......Phil
