Anyone seen one of these?
My searches aren't netting any results.

Looks like the "key" to one of those old school anti-theft devices. Is there a port anywhere under the dash that looks like the female mate to it?

I believe the first pic is the port. That's with the "key" inserted.
It appears to have 2 wires that run up behind the cluster. The other two are cut short.

Ah! I realize what's in the pics now- tan interior and the port is mounted.

Does your car run with that key removed? There are some with logic in them, but most are simply plugs that complete a circuit. They tap them into essential circuits (starting, power to fuel pump relay, PCM, etc.) and if the key isn't plugged in, it's like cutting those wires and the vehicle won't run.

It’s so they can listen in on all your conversations in the truck.

I haven't tried starting with it pulled, but if it's running it stays running when pulling it.
I'm guessing it wasn't hooked up to full capabilities. Lol I'll be removing it most likely.

Yep, just a starter interlock.
