It sounds like the easiest (and first) step would be to fire up a
Bluetooth device scanner and see what bluetooth devices are present.
Then check their ids against manufacturer's allocations.  Perhaps if
something odd is found, to triangulate a signal by moving around the
vehicle with a bluetooth scanner showing signal strengths.

There are plenty of Bluetooth scanning apps in the respective app stores
for iPhone and Android.

Coming from a Linux guy, the app approach would be the first
recommendation rather than trying to leverage bluemon on the Linux laptop.
