What is this?

Does anyone know exactly what this antenna is beside my rear view mirror is for? I have a 2013 Tradesman with the Uconnect 3.0 and back up camera display on my rear view mirror. Could this be a antenna for the camera?

That looks like it's for an aftermarket remote start or alarm.

x2, that looks like that aftermarket remote start/alarm antenna that was in my last car.

Oh ok, thank you. I just bought this truck a few months back and it was already there. I was never told about any remote start when I bought it

By the looks im 90% sure thats for a compustar remote start system. Got any better pictures? There should be a model number on the other side of the antenna (against the glass). Or you should see a control unit under your dash. Or if you dont want to mess with it, find a compustar dealer in your area and have them confirm or deny my thoughts.

I finally figured it out. It is a aftermarket remote start. I remember getting this extra little remote with the keys but forgot all about it........like I said the salesman never told me about it, maybe he didn't even know about it. But it does work! Thanks

So that is a compustar remote, or at least one of their sub companies. Tap lock/unlock for that function. Hold lock for 3 seconds for panic. Hold Trunk for 3 sec to unlock your truck and pop your imaginary trunk (tapping trunk shouldn't do anything unless they have aux 1 hooked up). Hold the key for 3 sec to start your truck (tapping it shouldn't do anything unless they have aux 2 hooked up).
