Modifed Boxster -what is going on here

[fxgovers]

Hello:

I'm new to the forum - I just purchased a 2001 Boxster S manual with a lot of upgrades. Most of them I can figure out - the Kenwood DNX890HD GPS/entertainment system, the projector headlights, etc. I have three switches on the dashboard that have me mystified. Three of the switches on the middle dash area have been replaced - one has two LED lights, the middle one has one big LED light, and the bottom one is a rotary switch and a potentiometer, like a selector and a volume knob. I'm guessing the middle one is an IMS "chip detector" light like the IMS Guardian. The top one and bottom one I have no idea. They are not related to the entertainment system - it has separate volume controls.

Any suggestions? Anyone seen a setup like this before?
Thanks

looks like a sub woofer level control knob check behind seats if he previously installed low profile subs wires ? then maybe took it out before he sold it to you

I would bet money on a radar detector. I had the same thing in my car. It is probably a K40 brand. If you turn the knob do you here some beeping?

Cant' you just ask the previous owner what all those switches are for?

[tommy583]

If you pop out the trim piece you might be able to see what it is. On my car there was a circuit board with K40 printed on it behind the knob.

One of them is for incoming missiles.
