what the heck is this?
 

Recently purchased an A8 and have this attached electronic device on the front/rear of the car. It is apparently wired into the dash through a 3-position rotary switch. Car has factory parktronics that do work, so it is not a parking device. Any ideas?

One of the Police Radar systems.. i forgot the name of the system. but you probably have one on the back and on the sides.

IF YOU HAPPEN TO THINK OF THE NAME I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADDITIONAL INFO. tHERE IS ONE ON THE REAR PLATE AREA ALSO. iT MAKES SOMETHING OF A MUSICAL NOTE THRU THE SPEAKERS, ALSO SOME LED'S LIGHT UP UNDER MMI SCREEN.

Three manufactureres come to mind. K40, Rocky mountain radar (make mostly Jammers) and Beltronics. The different chirps are the different radar or laser bands it encounters. Most likelyl the switch is for sensitivity and or mutingl. If it is a rotary know, then that would be volume. All brands that have this type of system usually represents the best they have. Hope it helps.
