Question 996 Newbie: What are these?

1999 996 coupe, looked in manual without success. What are these? They look like,
1. somthing to do with a radar detector (which previous owner took with him?),
2. a sensor for the alarm system?
3. a sensor for the air conditioning system??

Please post to newsgroup - TIA for your help.

They are not stock. So something aftermarket...your guess as good as mine.

A hands-free for a cell maybe?

Are those buttons or just sensor pickups of some sort?

Nothing stock, like wross said. Could it be some kine of high toll EZ Pass?. Hopefully you can remove the lroof part without damaging the liner.
regards,
Steve

It looks most like a solar charger, which I've seen only once. There was once a device that was a solar cell and a fan to keep the car cool on the sun. Does air blow out of the thing that looks like a hands-free mike? AS
