Mystery Switch

I have a 2000 986 that i bought used about a month ago from a broker that didn't know much about the vehicle. I found what appears to be an aftermarket dual rotary switch on the side wall near the accelerator. The outer dial is a two position on/off switch and the inner dial is like a volume dial (see photo - A). When I turned it - on the lights on the B (red) /C (green) blink and light up. There is also an audible beeping noise that sounds like a radar detector. After a few seconds the red lights go out and the green light remains illuminated - and the beep continues every few seconds. I soon loose my nerve and power it off - fearing it is a 007 ejection seat or something.
So I'm thinking a radar detector?? Nothing else seems to be different about the car when its on. Any ideas???
