Whether or not a car dealer is legally authorized to place a "GPS device" upon a cusotmer's car depends upon what written documentation that the customer signed with the car dealership with respect to the car.
I presume that the "GPS device" that you are writing about was installed on a vehicle that was not purchased by the customer free and clear. If so, then custom and practice in the auto dealership allows for the installation of such a device without notification to the customer.
