So I got an email for this stupid kahu tracking thing. Apparantly im all set up! Lol.

So I found this thing in my truck. Thankfully looks like they did a decent job, and only zip tied it.

Question. How can I safely remove this thing without messing anything up? Is it really just as simple as unplugging the damn thing?e91a1613812a9496cf1a0b18f08af4cd.jpg

It just looks like power, ground, a switched wire and an antennae. Cut the red wire and RUN! :happy175:
Is cutting into it the only way? Was really hoping I could just unplug it and be good. But obviously dont want it to be tied into the ignition or something stupid

Just unplug it and see if it starts. It won't burst anything.

That's hilarious.. but also quite cringy hahahah. Man that's guys face just has a way of violating you.

I'm gonna poke around this more later to ight. Hoping its just a few wires spliced into the stock harness which I can delete. And then patch back up.

Because I just dont have anything better to do than start hacking OEM wiring on a brand new ******* truck!

Jesus in beginning to hate this world..

Just unplug it and see what happens. I think it comes with a bunch of hidden cameras, a heart rate monitor/credit card info skimmer in the seat and finger print reader in the steering wheel so unplug those too.

Better get this t-shirt before cutting the red wire.

I would just unplug to see what happens. Might be a provision in your finance agreement, if it is financed, that requires you to keep the device operational.

Keep these responses coming guys, I love em! Hahaha
Where did you find this gem hidden on the truck?
It was just zip tied to a bar under the steering wheel.

P.s. I didnt sign anything that said this thing MUST remain operational when I signed the paperwork. So I dont give a ****. It's coming out! Lol

The Googles says it's a fleet GPS tracker. Just unplug it, you'll be fine.

I will give this a shot when I leave work at 5. See what happens... if anything.

I picture squad cars and swat teams repelling from helicopters! Haha

That's what I've found too. Unless the device is sold by Spireon to a dealer as Goldstar (instead of Kahu), in which case it's also wired to the ignition circuit. The idea is if you financed through the dealer and you miss a payment they can disable the vehicle until the payment is made.

Gotcha. I'll add it to the list of crap in the parts bin if I find it. Doubtful as mine was ordered and the dealer doesn't add garbage to their trucks. They're becoming further and farther between as most upset nonsensical garbage to make a profit.

I will give this a shot when I leave work at 5. See what happens... if anything.

ROFL! I have the nosyist co worker too. They would love it!

So luckily mine isnt sold as gold star.

I see like 4 wires. So that would be the 12v constant, ground, ignition sense, and starter disable.. better make sure I look for the relay too.

That's an odd place for her hand to be in a Christmas picture...
