Hi SharkyZ28. What I think that is is a aftermarket security device. Remove that card in it and it shouldn't start. Warning! Those get finicky from removing and re-inserting them. I've seen just a couple of those in twenty years of the used car business. If it works then you may wanna keep it as no one else will kow what it is! I made it a habit of removing every alarm system that came through our shop because we didn't want to fight the constant horn blaring or a shoddy install causing problems or worse yet system is worn out and having intermittant starting. Best to rip 'em out and be done with it.
