Default Help identifying unknown mods?

So heres the story, I bought a used my00 s2000 from a used car dealership up here in Canada. The car is originally from the U.S., and the dealership had no idea what all the mods were apart from cold air intake, dc sports headers, and a full cat back exhaust system. Sitting in the drivers seat there are 3 unknown pieces of equipment, and I'm only sure of the function of one of them (microphone for bluetooth hands free mounted in upper left of windshields)

What I'm hoping to do is post a few pics of these mystery devices, in hopes that someone smarter than me can help identify them

This is a picture of what I believe is the bluetooth mic, If im wrong please correct me, but I believe thats what it is.




This is a picture of a switch located on the left side of the steering column, nothing special about it and it doesnt seem to do anything, suggestions as to what it is are welcome




Finnaly, are two pictures of the mstery devide, wich my best guesses would be the controls to a hardwired radar detector, or part of the alarm system the previous owner installed, but was removed. When I turn the inner part of the dial to left or right (it acts as a switch) I hear some beeping noises first from front left of vehicle, then from back right of vehicle, and the three light on top flash. There is also a switch on the underside of the assembly, and I've posted a pic of this aswell.







Any help in this situation would be awsome!

The rotory switch with the LEDs looks like a classic K40 Radar detector system. Since you hear the beeps on start-up it might still be installed. There is usally a sensor or pickup attached to the front and rear plates. Sometimes, when there is no front plate, the sensor is hidden inside the grill.

Thanks for the info, radar detecot or security were the only 2 things I could think of. I was just on my way out to go see a security system guy I know to see if he knew anything about it, is there anything specific I could check for to see if the system is still installed?
