So, this one's gonna get an update tomorrow with pictures, but wanted to start it ahead of time.

My S2 had a car phone in it at some point. I want to get one to put back in it for car shows.
Does anyone have ANY idea what phones typically came in a 944?

@Crazy Eddie is an original owner and still has his somewhere. Hopefully he can share details... It's a huge, clunky, ship to shore brick -- very vintage 1988....

Totally useless tech, but I was feel VERY lacking at the Radwood show. It just needs to turn on, could run it off an extra battery. I will get pics of my wiring tomorrow.

My car had one, and it had holes in the dashboard. This is the antenna it has too.

Holes in the dashboard. 5 (in an X) were definitely from self tapping screws. There's a 6th hole which seems like for a wire.
