Tracking device wouldn't be in a metal box.

If there's not an external antenna protruding from it or a coaxial/shielded cable going to an antenna the radio waves used for geolocation as well as communicating outward to whoever is tracking it will have a hard time busting through that faraday cage. I just see a couple unshielded connectors with non-coaxial, non-UTP wires. Presumably two for power and two for whatever switch, sensor or indicator is being fed to the box. If it's aftermarket those won't be buried in a harness and can be traced to where they terminate and that might answer the initial question.

Need more pictures for sure. Take that thing off and see if there are any other identifying markings on it too. And for sure do what kurek said, trace those wires.

I did some googling and found nothing with the barcode.

Here it is with every cable that goes to and comes out of it.
