Hahaha. Does that old brick still work??

I’ve got a couple of old fliptops from years ago somewhere, but all my old brick phones have long disappeared.

 

[DCPU]

I don't think so. I'm trying to remember if there's a SIM in it.

A few years ago, I think there was a company refurbishing them with some more modern internal components, but I've never seen one in use.

In the drawer, I also found this:

I've been snooping around in the front footwells and can't see any usb power sockets to power a dash cam. I can see a yellow OBD port and some embedded LED lights. Anyone found the location of the power outlet (other than the central storage box)?

I have the exact same phone sitting in a drawer in the study. No idea why I keep these things - a hoarder by nature perhaps.

 

[PBD]

These were great phones! I am also a hoarder but sitting in a box behind me are a stack of electronics including 5 of these Nokias, iPhones, digital cameras etc. If any one wants them they are more than welcome

Let this not be us! (I will throw them out soon dear)

That “one” time you find exactly what you need in that big box of cables and chargers and, and, and, vindicates the existence of said box and allows you to keep it for another 10 years.

VERY TRUE!

No USB or cig outlets provided in footwells but there's supposed to be 10A power feeds (Deutsch plugs) behind the kick panels. I'll be fitting some surface mount usb & cig outlets down there either side of the transmission tunnel. Should also be power avlb from the front fuse box under the dash.

 

[ECrider]

Anyone found where to plug in a code reader yet??? Picture would be much appreciated of the connector.

You mean the OBD port? It's a yellow port under the driver's side dash (near the door) - near the accelerator pedal.

@MarkH , I'll look again but didn't see any obvious connectors. Not sure what you mean by kick plates. Would they be covered by the carpet? Mine's carpeted.

yep that one - if you get a chance to see if it's standard 9 pin connector?

The kick panels are plastic coverings on the wall near the floor just forward of the door openings either side, they sometimes hide wiring. Can usually be unclipped and taken off.

* unlabeled/unbranded AC adapters so you have no clue what went with them

 

[Shaky]

Hahaha. Does that old brick still work??

No, it has loads of glitches and warning lights, but the Motorola phone works perfectly

 

[Arkaig]

yep that one - if you get a chance to see if it's standard 9 pin connector?

Does this help?
