black device fell off obd2 port

Bought 2018 Leaf with 20K; my wife was exiting the car and a black OBD2 “plug-in” fell on the floor. No markings on case, internally has circuit board with 134221-3030 rev e1a1/a1 on it. Some type of Leaf aftermarket monitor? Car was lease return, could it be gps tracker?

Post some pictures of it.

Whoever sold it to you is probably wondering where their OBD2 dongle is, for use with the Leafspy app - a popular app used to check the LEAF's battery health, among other things...

:lol:

My first guess is one of those devices you use for car insurance to lower your rates where they track your driving, but I remember reading somewhere that those devices don't often work with the leaf. Might also be a dongle to use with leafspy, but I've never seen one with a battery built into it since it usually uses the port for power.

Tried reinstalling the darn thing...see how my wife knocked it off; protrudes significantly into knee space. Tried bluetooth connection, nothing new showed up on the list.

A google search on the white sticker (LMU30G600-G1000 turns up "GPS Tracker". e.g.: https://www.embeddedworks.net/wwan486/

So either a watchful parent, or a stalking SO or ex-SO...

Or an insurance company that bills by the mile or at least takes total miles driven into account.....

It has an accelerometer so could have been an insurance box.

I was going to say that an 'insurance box' would have more than a GPS chip. I'd say we have a winner.
