Hey Andre, please see the same device from my Volvo XC90.

What you've found was a wireless transmitter for your panic button - it was preinstalled by Tracker before the sale of your car (usually under the drivers seat). There's a nice instruction manual provided by Tracker which tells you how to activate the preinstalled tracker unit.

Sounds like it just came loose? - you know, like that "Loose bolt"!

Oh! If you had followed the wire from this device, you would of found a little button on your seat belt release - that's the actual panic button.

Not to be over technical, but the panic button completes an electrical circuit which then powers the transmitter which then sends a signal. Complicated stuff I know - to help I've added a basic electrical diagram.

Anyway, it's purpose is to relay a panic signal to the core tracker unit in your Volvo - which I'm afraid is now broken.

You've basically put your Volvo on Stage 1 "volvo-shedding".
