Default 2012 C6 z06 black box inside windshield that is taped

We had just purchased this 2012 Corvette c6 z06. We noticed his black box inside windshield that is taped. We contacted the place where we purchased the vehicle. They were not aware that there was a black box there and have no clue what it is. We thought maybe it was some kind of tracker device because it was delivered to us . We would like to remove the blue tape, but afraid that the box might fall off the windshield. Has anyone ever seen this or possibly know what this might be. Thanks

Can you post a picture of the black box taped to the windshield?

Looks like a storage box for Kleenex. Seriously though I can't really tell much from the picture because it's so close up to the item.

Are there any wires visible that are connected to it?

Have you checked to see if there is a Bluetooth connection to it?

Without any further information, I would suggest just removing the tape and taking the box off the windshield for further analysis.

The Bluetooth was connected to it. I have removed it from the windshield.

Thanks for you reply.

After you discovered the Bluetooth connection, did that give you any idea as to what the function was?

It isn’t a factory part. It’s most likely an old toll transponder, tracker, or leftover aftermarket device taped to the windshield by a previous owner. You can safely remove the blue tape while supporting the box with your hand since it’s usually just attached with double-sided adhesive. If there’s a wire coming from it, it’s an aftermarket tracker or accessory; if not, it’s just a leftover transponder.
