Can someone tell me what these are?

Hey guys, Sorry for the dumb post... I'd like to know what these are and what they do. Especially the slider and the button on the #3

1,3, and 4 are all aftermarket. If possible ask the previous owner. My guess would be radar detector (1,3) and a bluetooth mic(4)

#2 is for the auto on headlights if your car has them which it probably doesn't

#3 and #4 look like parts for an old aftermarket bluetooth phone system. #3 looks like it has a speaker on the front of it with a volume control **** on the side. Not sure why there is a button on top, perhaps to mute it or turn it on? I agree #1 looks like a dash mounted radar detector.

#1 is a GPS antenna.

When I switch on the ignition the lights are on automatically in the night time while they stay off in day time. Yeah I think it has auto on headlights.. #4 doesn't seem like a mic. It has a numbered slider. check below pic

Where does that wire connect to? It might be part of aftermarket interior lighting the previous owner had.

Very mysterious. I agree that 3 looks most like a handsfree phone solution from another century.

Recently noticed that when I press the Button on #3, auto headlight feature works. When I release it I have to turn the lights manually.

It appears the mystery to #3 is solved. It appears to be an auto on headlight sensor. The button on top turns it on and the dial on the side should adjust the sensitivity of the sensor.
