What is This?

What is the box that is mounted to the left of my OBD2 port? It looks like I could plug into the front of it. But I have no idea what it is for.

Thanks for any help.

Nothing I have seen from the factory. Wires to it go where?

Thanks for the reply.
I pulled the panels under the steering wheel off. The port has 5 black wires coming out of the back of it. the little box has no markings or numbers on it.
One of the five wires is grounded
the other four wires are sliced into the large yellow wire that runs under the dash.
The yellow wire is cut. two black wires from the box go to one end of cut yellow wire, and the other two black wires go to the other end of cut yellow wire.
I will post more and better pics.

I have had it for two years, and the buddy I bought it from had it since 2003 I think. And he spoke about the prior owner like he knew him well.
But it doesn't look like it has any kind of transmit or recieve functions.
But there could be a chip plugged into the front of it.
