I was replacing the parking brake pedal on the wife's '04 yukon XL and noticed what seems to be some kind of port under the dash that runs to a black box zipped tied behind the lower panel. Does anybody have any idea what it is? Thanks!!!
WTF is this???

Can you take a closer, better quality pic of it? It does almost look like an iPod port, but I'm sure we could confirm that if we could see it better.

looks like the plug for alarm key. Some of the older alarms had this chip/key that you had to plug in before the car would start. Maybe someone disabled it but left the dock.
it is the port for a disable key. you remove the key to disable and just plug it in when you want to drive off. the dealers put those cheap ass things in in hopes of selling it to you as a theft deterrent. if you opted not to have it, they break off the plastic part off in there and you can drive it. if you get a pick you can pull out the plastic and your truck should not start. you can just yank that crap out.
Wow. Seriously? I've never heard of this. That's totally half-assed and stupid.
yeah mine still has the 2 little holes under the dash in almost the same spot. i ripped that shit out and installed my viper

I bought a Ford Sport trac back in 2001...from a ford dealer in fairfax va...at the time they told me the installed those things on 75% of the new cars they had on the lot. which was a lot considering they had 100 some odd explorers and 90 some odd stangs when i brought 02 GT.
