Can someone tell me what is this for?

Data card for drb tool.
It would have the info needed for the tool to translate the info coming from the car.

 

The real question is...

How is it that a serious eBay seller could place a high-tech memory card to be photographed for auction on a ridiculous background such as floral bed sheets?

 

Too bad he doesn't have the DRB tool to go along with it. I'd love to know what's wrong with my Crossfire before I take it into the dealer. Anyone know where/if I can get the DRB tool?

 

They can be bought, but they're hideously expensive. Somewhere in the $7,000 - $8,000 range. There was a thread about it a while back.

 

Just get a cheap scantool and download some free software. You won't be able to access all the DC specific codes or reprogram any of the systems that you can with the DRB, but you will be able to read and clear the stored fault codes when the CEL comes on.

Here's a couple of pics of the sort of thing you can do. Whilst messing with the my ECU I was getting codes all the time such as the one below when I had an injector disconnected:

"P0202 Injector Circuit Malfunction - Cylinder 2"



You can also get realtime data such as this:
