What is that black thing next to my blitz obd harness? Tried to trace the wire but it gets lost behind the dash.

First, insert the chip-embedded key into mechanism, then start the vehicle. The car auto cycles a special tune and adds 140 Hp. Where's the key? Are you the original owner?

Are you sure? lol. Unbolt it and open it up? Your car was owned by two people previously wasn't it? There's been so much stuff installed...

Edit: The slits seems like it's air-related. Air pressure/Alarm sensor? Air ionizer?
Edit2: Does your car have the tech package? That did have a air purifier ionic -breeze type of thing...

All right after ripping apart all the panels that black thing i still have no idea what it actually does but i looks like i have what i think is a shock sensor i talked to both owners never had anything installed so im really confused on whats going on here i traced the wires to the clutch pedal and fuse box.

Yea, could be a shock sensor, but those usually have a light on them somewhere. But wire to clutch pedal? Sounds like a clutch bypass for remote start.

I see that security module box had a barcode/serial number on it, look it up.

Try standing outside your car and hitting the keyfob lock button 3x, (car in neutral, parking brake on!) and see what happens?

It's definitely an aftermarket car alarm.
