definitely a computer of some sort... i dont know if unplugging it would be a good idea...

try it and see, but beware... unless its in the way, i would just leave it.

I would not unplug anything! Not unless you really know what it is supposed to do. Placed where it is it probably is not part of the car's operational system. But why take chances with your ca?. On the other hand, it looks like it's got enough cable that maybe you could shove it under the front seat and out of the way.

Is it screwed/bolted to the floor? Since Frank said it was supposed to be mounted under the front passanger seat, perhaps it came loose from its mounts.

not screwed or bolted..just plated on 2 rails..there are 4 little legs under this device and there are 4 holes on the rails as well..it places nicely on the rails..however it's very easy to lift as well..

Sounds like it was supposed to be up under the seat, and it came loose. Or is some sort of after-market thing that was intended to be mounted under the seat, and never was.

sure it aint an aftermarket amp for a stereo?

hannah · 09-06-2004, 07:14 PM

Here is another view. My car has got standard speakers with an MD player..no amps..

DaveinOlyWA · 09-06-2004, 07:32 PM

hmmm looks nearly identical to the power inverter in my RV. no labeling on it?

hannah · 09-06-2004, 07:34 PM
