Default Is my mustang being tracked??

Noticed this in my 06 mustang (standard package) today. I bought it used, so I wouldn't know for sure if there was a GPS tracking device in my car.





It has one black wire going directly from the device to my windshield where it disappears behind the dash.

It clearly was a later addition, as it firmly attached by use of glue or some sort of sticky-pad.

Can someone tell me what it is? I'm sure the previous owner wouldn't be tracking me, but either way I would want something like that removed.

Thanks a lot!

Ok, I know I don't have satellite radio, but perhaps the previous owner had it and cancelled the service.

Looks like a satellite antenna. Go to a stereo shop and they'll tell you what type/provider it is and maybe you can get it turned on.

Yeah looks like a satellite radio antenna. Can't make it out but is that some sort of picture logo on it?

My XM antenna clearly has "XM" on it and is not so thick...

Try hitting the "AUX" button on your radio. If you still have the satellite radio installed it should show you the information.

It looks like the Sirius antenna that was in the Shelby GTH that I rented.
