Is this a radar jammer?

I removed my rear bumper last night and found this attached just above my license plate...



Is it some sort of radar jammer? And if so, where would I find evidence of it in the interior/cabin?

Look like a laser (lidar) jammer.

How/where is a laser/lidar jammer installed or connected? They called it on the PPI I had done before buying the car, but I had no idea where to look or what to look for. I haven't seen any evidence of something like this on the interior of the car...

The little black box should be somewhere up under the dash. They are not much bigger than an iPhone. Then again they could have removed that but not the heads.

Yep, that's a laser jammer/blinder head. Note that radar jammers are illegal pretty much everywhere, whereas laser jammers are legal in most states and provinces.

100% looks like an older style Beltronics shifter.

That is most definitely a laser jammer/shifter.
