What is this thing?

Lol "I have no idea what it is, or does. So I smashed it open. Ug."

That looks like an antenna, so I'm going with the aforementioned tracker component.

Pretty sure its some kind of GPS device. The wiggly bits are the antenna I think.

My logic was. I either bin it without knowing or I smash it up and maybe find out.

There was no way of finding out without smashing it. As before a very plain box with no markings to identify it. And it was impossible to open without using excessive force.

Cool. Tracker it is then.

Id rather not have it inside the car just in case someone can watch me so it's going in the bin

Maybe the Tracker was fitted by the previous owner wife or husband

I have around 50 of these here.

99.9% Sure its a GPS Antenna, this then plugs into a tracker.

The text will say 'face the sky' or along those lines, ita a directional antenna.

The tracker more than likely has been removed. Just easier to leave the other stuff in antenna and wiring. You may find extra wiring going to the OBD port or similar, they read canbus data to get vehicle info, and power is usually supplied from there.
