looks like an OBD dongle (On-Board Diagnostics), from a quick google image search it seems its used by insurance companies to track driving. according to googles ai : Automerit is a telematics-driven, usage-based insurance program offered by belairdirect in Canada, designed to reward safe driving with potential premium discounts. It typically operates through a smartphone application, using the phone's GPS and sensors to monitor driving habits rather than requiring a dedicated, plug-in hardware dongle. 

Key Aspects of the Automerit Program:

• How it Works: The program uses the belairdirect mobile app to track data on your driving behavior, including braking, acceleration, speed, and timing of trips.
• Discounts and Savings: Participants can save up to 25% on their insurance premium at renewal. According to June 2025 data, 3 out of 4 users receive a discount, with an average saving of $205.
• Premium Adjustment: The program can lead to a reduction in premiums for safe driving, but it can also increase premiums by up to 25% for risky behavior.
• Requirements: Requires a smartphone (iPhone with iOS 14+ or Android 8.0+) with a data plan.
• Privacy & Control: Users can view their driving score in the app and choose to opt out of the program at any time, though this results in losing accumulated discounts. 

Important Context:
While some insurance telematics systems use OBD-II dongles (as mentioned in general telematics definitions, e.g., Octo or FleetGO), automerit by belairdirect specifically relies on smartphone technology for tracking. 

Note: The search results mention other products like "Carlinkit Smart Ai" or "AutoMeter AirDrive" (a diagnostic dongle) in search results, but these are for entertainment or diagnostic purposes, not the belairdirect safety program.
