    interesting - maybe scan the QR code and see what it says. Was it plugged into the OBD port?

    The scan of the QR code only came up with the ime number. There are two OBD2 ports on this car. And one of them was dedicated to this device. It has the Ferrari logo on it so it came from the factory or the dealership. This car is 100% paid for so it's definitely not a tracker for the bank. So I'm really concerned as to what it is that they are looking for and who it is that is looking at it.

    Wow, interesting. Anything in the owners manual about it? The signal icon makes it seem like it might be bluetooth? I'd post in the 296 section and see if others have it in their cars as well.

    Might a bluetooth diagnostics device for Ferraris service computers at the dealer. Instead of plugging into the OBD port they read your ECUs via bluetooth.

    Since it's (apparently) a Ferrari part, why not ask the techs at a Ferrari dealer?

    Was your car recently serviced? Could have been left by a tech
