Does anyone know if the Dealer installed NSX mounted cell phone can be used still? It has so much nostalgia.
A wired phone? WTF :biggrin:

NSX cell phone

Yep, I know;
Nope, can't be used (at least not in Atlanta)
Old Technology - wireless guys have upgraded the networks several times since that phone was introduced.
Might be some locality with a -5G network still in place, but in general it is a conversation topic not a conversation tool anymore;
I took mine out to recover the space in the console (gotta put the I-pod somewhere - just wish they hadn't punched the holes in the coin tray)

Stupid question I'm sure --- I have a 91 with the phone in the console - any special way to remove it? Just cut the wires?? Thx, Jay
Yeah, I used a plastic plate and some black vinyl for a drop-in cover. They'd really mangled mine.
No need for cutting. If you remove the middle speaker surround, the arm rest compartment, and just the top of the center console, you can unplug everything cleanly.
I thought I read on here where someone actually gutted one of these and replaced the analog crap with modern phone guts, but left the wires connected for appearance. That'd be quite the project, but you would have a bitchin' '90s car phone.
The (analog) NSX phone was hands free. One of the best in fact... phone rang, you pushed the console "answer" button, the radio muted, the incoming voice came out of the radio speakers.
Really worked well. Too bad the analog transmissions are no longer supported.
While I hate ANY use of a cel phone while driving, this one was a great implementation.

yeah I just went in and TORE everything out, cut, cut,cut
there was this 35lbs Box hooked to the Cell phone I think it was the cell phone brain, it was behind the Subwoofer in the footwell, wanna save some pounds,, remove all of it
Also removed like 20lbs of CEL phone wires thru out the car.

I have the factory middle console hands-free cell phone plate with buttons and all. It's been gutted for the NOS control...hehehe...its awesome.
Not in every state, some still allow it....for now.
Hmm, the only things I found were in the center console and a box (about 1/2 the size of a shoe-box) in the trunk. I'm tempted to go spelunking in the footwell if there is another control box behind the sub.
You can always buy a new felt coin tray and replace it. I believe it was around $25 or so and very easy to replace (held in by a couple screws from the underside).
