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.  :-\

Two bits of good news...

1.The noise stops once the battery is empty.
2.You have a charger for it.

Yep, sorry forgot about your prize Al, you win a free Mini Cab fare to Bristol, so you can rumidge around in an Aladdin Cave of spare Omega Parts and selected your items to take home. Will have to the same day that RobG takes he's free trip to West Midlands though, and your probably have to pay your own fare home as well.  ;)

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.
