Tracker? Strange Object in Engine Bay

Hey All,
I just purchased a 2015 F56 Cooper S through Carvana. Car has 44k miles and seems to be really well taken care of. I noticed the attached square object with two cables running out of it. No identifying marks or anything, looks to be somewhat professionally installed in terms of wire routing etc.

Tracker?

Not a tracker.

It's a junction box for the hood release cables.

Its funny you posted this. I received delivery of my 2018 MCS from Carvana last week and saw this same box under the hood.

My car came from Carvana as well. Looks like I’ll be looking under the bonnet in the morning.
