Question what is the black box on my windshield
I know you can help me. I have a thin black rectangular plastic thing with a black wire going up to my rear view mirror. I neglected to say that this black rectangular thing is glued to my windshield right below the rear view mirror. What is it?

lol; a governmental gps devise so they MAN knows where my luxurious truck is at all times
I am kinda hoping that it is a directional device for a compass. That is where my Buick had one.
