Question Option Codes not found - also factory phone?

I could not find a reference for the following option codes: X47, X58, G88

Also, the car I am looking at is advertised as having a factory phone. Anyone have a picture of what this looks like?

I had one of those phones. I quick search of the archives produced several threads:

<a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=002017" target="_blank">Special center console</a>

<a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=001619" target="_blank">Navagitation Systems - guidance please</a>

<a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=004887" target="_blank">factory Center phone console for sale/trade</a>

There are more if you care to search. Good luck!

The photos are no longer available in the archives. Only one photo worked. Is the only factory phone availble the one that covered the ash tray and that some others have used to intstall nav systems? I tried to explain this to the dealer that has the car but his commad of english was not good enough for us to understand each other. The Factory phone console takes up leg (shin) room that makes the car all but undriveable for me with long legs. I am trying to determin if this is what the car has before I drive a hour each way to look at it.


Also - any help on those codes?

Don't tell me where that car is - for the x options, phone console and overall rarity I'd certainly drive an hour to go see it

Here's a photo for reference. In some cars the crested panel is replaced with a grill covering a hands free speaker.

The pic was easy, but can't help w/your legs. However, IF the car is otherwise what you want, you should have no problem finding someone to swap the phone console for their regular console (assuming a common color) & may even end up w/a few bucks for your trouble. The phone console is rare, expensive & an ideal mount for a GPS/video display.

I am 6'4" and I do fit in my car with the phone console. The picture is of my console. I am still trying to locate a factory (no phone) console for more room. Overall it does take up a little leg room. There is a "option decoder" <a href="http://www.kindel.com/Porsche/options.asp" target="_blank">http://www.kindel.com/Porsche/options.asp</a> but I have never been able to get it to work.
