Factory cell phone

Hey guys (gals?) I have the factory cell phone in my AMG that i am obviously not using. I was leaving it in because it was one of only two options available and wasn't sure if it made it any more a collector car. What do you guys think? Is there somewhere Ic ould pick up one of the storage units that goes in it's place? Any other ideas?, Thoughts?

none
I use it as a weapon.

If I'm going through a bad area I keep it in my right hand to scare off any potential car jackings.

I also use it to call AC Slater, Screech, Mr. Belding, and Kelly Kapowlski.........ha ha.

not sure if it works or not. All I have is the dash part with the numbers and illumnicated LCD screen and the phone cradle. no handheld itself. But if you wanna pay to have it taken out, for the storage basket to replace it and the shipping, i'll send it to you.

mang, I took mine out a month after I got the car. Gained a bit of space on the top arm rest, but had to patch up the hole near the back where the wires went down. Wish I could get the LCD dash unit out and replace it with the cubby. Would have a nice spot for Cell, MP3 player and gum. When I got the car, the main unit (located in trunk) was lose and rattled. I took it to dealer hoping they would secure it. punks charged me $114 to zip tie it. I should have just yanked it out back then.

that sounds like a stealership for you. The guys who installed my car stereo asked if they could take it out of the way for me, i said sure. Would love to clear up the dash space, but can't decide with what. Would be a nice spot for an xm radio if it weren't already built into my head unit.
