Is this a factory or aftermarket unit on my windshield
weird box on windshield
Recently had my windshield replaced and this thing was hanging down. They taped it back up but I'm starting to wonder if this is even a factory thing and if so what is it?

What does it look like on the outside? It's definitely aftermarket. Probably for an aftermarket remote start system?

Its on the windshield. I wanted to ask first but based on the cars Ive looked at I havent seen it on them, you guys havent seen it. Maybe I will pry it open. Car didnt come with any remote start stuff that I can see, only the two lexus fobs.

Okay. Here’s my guess. It’s an RFID for fast pass with toll roads. Was the car ever owned in a city with toll roads? They used boxes like that a few years back before converting to barcode stickers. I remember seeing them in New Jersey all the time as a kid.

I did some more research, this box is the antenna to the satellite radio. I could not find the part # for our car but here is the part number for the Highlander.
The boxes appear to be the same.
