Question Mystery Beeping Sound - WTF?!!?

Okay, so I'm driving along as normal, doing about 30mph in my MY95 STI and all of a sudden BEEP BEEP from somewhere in the dash, then about 2 seconds later, 5 more beeps in rapid succession. Then no more, and all seemed normal.

I nearly sh*t myself, does anyone know what it could be? I've not had the car very long, its just been serviced, I've checked all the fluids, I wasnt caning it, nor had I been before it happened.

I'm using optimax and octane booster. I dont think it was the alarm (Cobra Cat1) and I dont think there were any warning lights on the dash at the time, temp is running about halfway up the scale, so I dont think its overheating.

The car has a dump valve, and an apexi induction kit, apart from that its standard.

Any ideas??

Its funny you should say that, because thats what I thought it might be - the only thing is - it doesnt have a tracker or anything, that I know of.

It sounds similar to a radar detector but there's nothing to indicate its got one.

Have you got a handsfree car kit? It may have found a phone it likes.

Thanks for the suggestions, Dont think theres a handsfree kit in it, but there are some mysterious boxes under the dash.

I havent heard it again since my first post - weird.

Heard it again when I drove past the same spot!!! - right beside a speed camera!!

My car has a RADAR detector!! lol!!

Dont think it picks up gatsos tho, the camera was a TRUVELO type.

Thanks for the suggestions.
