    Do you have a remote that came with the car? Could be an after market alarm antenna/power door lock set-up antenna. Follow the wire that comes out of it and see were it goes. You will know soon enough.

    From Howie to Howie. No the car does not have a remote. I did try to see where the wire goes but its really tight where it leads, I will have to spend more time searching and maybe take some things apart. But so far I guess its a antenna with the reply's. Thanks.

    Probably not lojack. from what I can see, they actually say "lojack" on them.

    Correction. This might be an amplified multi-directional antenna or a square 4G antenna or a very exotic RFID antenna.

    Radio or GPS or opening a gate? I really have no clue it's such an odd looking thing.
