Its about 5 inches by 11 inches. It has what looks to be a coax type cord coming in one side with a big connector with lots of pins and two side set screws for that connector on the same side and then on the length side it has the cat 5e port. It says motorola on it but thats about it. I found it under my fuse panel cover, not behind the radio. Does this sound like it? Any thoughts on why it would be there if its normaly behind the radio?

i know that "chips" are installed inside the pcm, where does a programmer hook up to? The 4 wires or so coming out of the big harness near the firewall?. I have 4 wires with shrink tube on the ends, a buddy told me thats where they hook to?
