It's the Sonic 'blaster' which can disable a cars ECU, useful in a chase I believe!  ;)

Someone's cocked up in a big way as they are supposed to be highly classified!!  :)

Hmm, not convinced on that one,  :-\, again a shame as it would have won you a faulty ECU. :y

If it is true and was classified, its not now.  ;)

Youve been using Google Al, did see that one myself, but not convinced its the same unit, having said that being Radio related is on my list, due to the location near the top of the windscreen and being able to cover the inside of the car.  :-\

Radio Comms or general use, fitted on the NS of the Panel. Normally a Grey or Cream version of the early philips carin sat nav speaker iirc.
