Default What is this?

This was in the back seat of my car when I bought it two years ago, and I completely forgot about it until I found it in my closet last week. The guy I bought the car said something about a tuning cable?

Agreed. It plugs in under the dash and into a laptop so you can tune the car if you have the software.

Damn, so basically useless without the software? Actually, useless to me anyways, seeing as I have no idea how to tune a car.

Useless to you, maybe, but not worthless. Don't throw it away without investigating it further then trying to sell it. Are there any markings that will tell you who made it? Go to thier website and see if you can download the software.

Looks like it goes to goes with tuner software, especially with a cord that long.

It won't let me post a picture, it keeps saying the picture is too large. The link I posted goes straight to the picture I took of it, its on my snapfish account.
