I have a standard dome light, no compass or anything like that, and find this under the front dome light. Looks like a computer (I haven't taken off my foil hat since), can I take it out? Is it needed? Thanks

It's for your remote key entry.

It is a computer of sorts. It's called a Module, as in Remote Keyless Entry Module.

It communicates with the PCM via the CCD Bus.

He may have been like me and not known he even had keyless entry. I didn't till I got a build sheet, no key fob when I bought it and hell mine even worked.

LMAO. Good one Frank. That makes sense. I do know I have the keyless but lost the key fob snowplowing. It's probably in the neighbor yard (Don't ask-lol).
