Need car electrician/telephone help: volvo 960 aftermarket 4G phone

Post by **CIK7** » 12 Sep 2020, 16:49

Anyone that is into the executive Volvo models (7/9/s80) may know that they came with a factory installed Southern Bell (AT&T) telephone. My car is prewired and premounted (front passenger floorboard and rear glass) for that phone. That was whatever came before 2g i think. AT&T 3g is about to be phased out in 2021 or 2022. I want to install a 4g phone WITH the number pad and retro phone cord. I need help figuring out how i can do this. Can I use the prewiring for the 4G? The phone fuse is already there. I would like to get as precise info as possible so I can get it dialing soon. Another idea is that i could (somehow) find the factory phone and update it with a 4g motherboard. Amazon also has the corded cradled phone below.

I hope cross-posting them isnt against the rules. I meant to do that because the s80 is the update the 9 series. Both came with the telephone option.

Yes I purposely did that because both the 9 series and s80 came with optional telephone.
