If you've bought a car in the last few years you might want to check your OBDII port as soon as possible
A GR Corolla owner had a strange battery drain that he tracked back to a hidden GPS device. He claims that the dealer installed it without his knowledge and never informed him about it. The potential implications of such a device go far beyond simply repossessing a vehicle. Imagine the excitement of picking up your brand new Toyota GR Corolla Circuit, a performance machine ready to rip up the road. Now imagine that thrill evaporating faster than your car's battery juice after just a month.
In Do's case, the tracker has no apparent legitimate purpose. He claims that he turned down the dealer's offer for a GPS tracking device meant to track the car if it was ever stolen. On top of that, since he bought the car outright, the dealer has no need to worry about repossessing it.
