Mystery Module on Rear Glass
My car had crazy dark tint on all the windows and I've finally gotten around to removing it. While I was at it, I decided to pull off this mystery box that was located in the center of the rear glass near the third brake light. Does anyone have any idea as to what it is? Maybe an antennae for an old alarm system or something like that? Nothing was connected to it but it does have a coax input.

Re: Mystery Module on Rear Glass
Speaking of old cell phones...
Got this one at a yard sale for $8, someone somewhere paid about $2500 for it! You can bet the guy that originally bought my car had one just like it. I leave it on the console for cruise nites etc, draws more comments than the car!!! |

Re: Mystery Module on Rear Glass
Yesssirreee boy!
Nothing like having 3 full watts of power beaming out of that antenna into your head while sitting right next to you cruising down the highway back in 86..................... Oh and for accuracy it is actually a picture of a "--r p-one a-----tenn----a --llo? -an --u he---r m e (crackle, crackle.......... lost signal) Actually had the Mitsubishi version of that phone and used it while commuting from NJ to Reston, Va. once or twice a week. Car phone bills of $300- $600.00 a month ( the good old days?) Was relieved to finally mount an external antenna on the glass. Nothing like 3 watts with that antenna! You could almost carry on a conversation.  Marty |

Re: Mystery Module on Rear Glass
I had one similar to that as well, it used a 12V lead acid battery, I think.

Re: Mystery Module on Rear Glass
i started out with a bag phone similar to the Motorola shown. Then had a "flip" phone from star trek! I think it was 6/10's of a watt until plugged into its base which gave it the amazing 3 watts of power with that external antenna. And yes many a $600 phone bill. LOL good ole days
