Hello everyone. I have a curious item in my 97 XK8 convertible. I have small 2 inch square speaker grilles on the dash on the left and the right side of my steering wheel. There is a 3 way switch to the right of the right grille with a volume control in the center of it. When I turn it on left or right, (the center detent is off) there is a little red light on my speedometer at the top of the 45mph and 135mph area. This is definitely factory done as the grilles are part of the dash and the lights are in the speedometer. When the key is on and the switch is to the left or to the right, the start up is a bird like chirping on the left speaker with the left light (the one at 45mph) blinks, then the right chirps and the 135mph light blinks. The lights and chirps will go off without any warning while driving. I can't make heads or tails to what this device is. Nothing in the manual. Any help?
