Hi all,
for those following me I'm a new owner of the best car ever created and given the car is in top condition, I do feel I miss the phone inside (just for the purpose of having it like new)

When I spoke to the car's inspector he told me all 993 Carrera S came with a phone. I asked him specifically because there was no phone in the options sticker.

The car is C00 and sold in nov-97. Anyone has any idea of what phone would they use those days?

Could I ask the Official Porsche Garage and get an answer? Or anyone else?

It seems there is not much around on the internet (or in the brochure I have found) and I understand it is not a very useful feature on the car, but if possible, I'd love know.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

This is simply not true, as evidence that it was not on the option sticker.

These older phones were analog and used a very old network to communicate. Even if you found one and connected it up, it likely will not work at all as those networks were retired long ago. For looks, I get it. Functionality, not so much.

He said that all came with antenna + phone

I don’t want to have for using, just to keep it more original, but no idea where to start !!

Thanks!!

Yeah. Hard pass.

They didn't all come with this option. Your guy is FOS.

Was a ~3K USD option. Bought my car with it in 2005 and before I could register the phone, the cell companies stopped taking new analog accounts

Definitely an option I'm happy I don't have. Looks wise and obviously technology wise, a complete non starter. Have no idea why someone would want to add this. I would want to remove it, if I had it.

The only reasons originality !!!

Not looking to use it !!! Even if you could use it, you would require a kind of hands free arrangement or you could face a nice fine (at least in Europe). Not very pragmatic, I know.

Originality? Was it originally included in your car? It didn't sound like it, hence the question of why you want to go out of your way to add it? Simply curious that's all.

I was looking to ask my Porsche centre in Barcelona if there is a chance it is original. If it is, I’ll keep it, if not, I may remove it over time. I’ve just bought the car this last week!! trying to don’t get too overexcited about the car

Thanks and sorry

C00 cars came with the phone as standard equipment.
