Did Jaguar Make This?

Did Jaguar Make This?
In 1990 the ignition switch was moved from the dash to the steering wheel. A filler plate was mounted to the dash to fill the hole.
My '90 XJS has a switch and LED on that plate. The switch is a rotary knob almost like a radio switch/volume control. Right now the LED does not light and the switch does not seem to do anything.
Are these parts original Jaguar or did a previous owner put them there?
Thanks!

I'm going to remove the aftermarket radio and reinstall the factory unit. I will be going through all of the wires and the console and restore everything to its original configuration.
Just thought I would see if anyone here has seen anything like this.

I found a hidden radar detector behind the front grill. Maybe the knob has some control over that? Guess I will find out this weekend when I take all of that stuff out.

Yes. It appears to have a switch and a volume control. I wont be surprised to find that its a control for either the radar detector or part of the aftermarket stereo.
I will find out tomorrow.

Most likely volume control for radar detector warning signal. it would have an audio and Visual signal for a stealth radar detector. Was there a signal receiver somewhere in the back of the car, like just below the rear bumper? It would be similar to the one behind the grille. Stealth detectors became popular when some states would confiscate or fine the driver of a car equipped with one they could see one on the dash or windshield.
