Hey there. I was inspecting a parts car and my project car today and noticed a couple details I had missed a while back. I wanted to know if yall have any explanation for them.

That plug says "MotoMeter". As far as I know, that was a third party readout manufacture.

The top one looks like an aftermarket(?) alarm sensor.

While I was googling for a pic, I ran across this:

that all looks like old alarm crap. Disconnect everything and leave it be.

I was thinking its a part of the Blaupunkt radio system. The Germans had some pretty crazy stuff back then, possibly a mic, there are two though.

Really, its a parts car so I don't care. I was more interested in the MotoMeter deal.

I dont know Motometer ever had a hand in the alarm business, but it appeared it could have been where to shut the alarm off. How is your 116 coming along? what is it for a model?

Don't think it's part of the radio, but if it's an ultrasonic sensor, makes sense it looks a bit like a mic/speaker combo because that's basically what it is.

Here's a modern non-car-alarm one, which looks fairly similar:
