OK, I may be way offbase, here.  It isn't round, and from 
the photo I can't tell the color of the LED or the material 
the case is made of, but...could it be a fleet management

I stumbled across this site looking for something else, but 
the stubbie antenna and the LED on the body reminded me of 
your question.
