Thumbs up Wanted: Telephone center console AKA Batphone

I'm looking at a refresh of my interior (carpet/seats etc), and have decided I'd like to get hold of one of the big telephone centre consoles. (aka the bat-phone)

Not fussed as to any paricular color, as I'm intending on recovering it anyway, though if anyone has one in black leather that would be a plus.

So, anyone got any leads on one?

Clive,
So, apparently my acquisition of the phone console at the Porsche warehouse open house some time ago planted a seed in your brain, eh?

Yuji.... yep, if you hadn't seen it first, I'd have it in the car right now!

David, that's a possibility... but I'd rather go OE, if possible...

Is the "Batphone" Porsche OEM? I think Jeff-in-the-air had one. Looked really cool I agree Clive. What kind of phone are you going to integrate? Good luck with your search.

Yes, the Bat Phone was OEM.
The Option Code is not very specific.

David,
This was back in April 2006. PCNA held an Open House Day, hosted by PCA LA region, of their Ontario, CA warehouse facility with tours of the operation. They were offering the attendees 20 percent discounts on all PCNA items with immediate pickup. There were also booths set up by local Porsche dealers with items for sale to clear their inventory, also discounted (this is where I got the console). My understanding is PCNA does this every so often; I'm not sure when the next opportunity is. A lot of nice Porsches in the parking lot driven by PCA members, too.

no - it doesn't appear on the PET CD anywhere I could find. I've been looking for some parts, specifically the little toggle switch on it.

I thought the RSD was a hard mod to find. The batphone is nearly impossible. Big wish item for me as well. Does the mod infection ever stop. Well, with me never!!!! Good luck in your search.

IIRC, it's every other year. I missed the last one.
I'm marking my calendar for '08 NOW.

Actually you just buy the phone and the console if thrown in for free! j/k IIRC the phone is actually obsolete as it's an older analogue phone.
