Default New owner, 1st post, and a question

Hi guys. I recently acquired a 2016 GT3 RS in orange with 3K miles. This is my first Porsche. Many years ago I tried to buy a brand new 911 and had such a bad experience with the sales rep. I thought my childhood dream of owning a Porsche ended then and there. Well after driving my friend's GT4 last month I knew I had to get a Porsche, and within a few weeks they helped me find this beauty!

There is what seems like a remote cradle in the center console, but there is no remote that came with the car. What is missing and what is the replacement cost? Sorry I think I'm too new to attach photos. So please look at the photos here: https://imgur.com/a/bPmu4MK

I'm in Sacramento CA and look forward to meeting some of the local folks.

I have no idea, but it looks like the shape of an electric razor. Maybe the prior owner daily drove it and liked to shave in the car on the way to work.

Congrats on the new car! If you're on Facebook, search for Sacramento Drive Club and Porsche Owners Club - Sacramento CA. Both started by a great guy who organizes a lot of drives and meetups.

Hope to see you out at one of the events.

I believe it's just a handset -- this is an accessory for use when you use the car's built-in phone by inserting your SIM in the dash.

Thank you all for your replies. The phone module seems useless. That's a load off my mind.
