            I bought it used. I know the red wire goes to the amp. Ive traced it out. And called motorolla. I think it was maybe some type of fancy cb radio. Not sure. There is sometype of antenna that comes up to the side of the widshield. I think i will remove it on sat. Didnt look stock by anymeans

                No mic? Any mic input? Could be a VHF radio. Motorolla had no idea what it was?

                        a device used to locate stolen vehicles; when activated, it sends a signal so its location can be tracked, as i understand it.

                          Ah. Gotcha.
                          I doubt its that tho. It has a wire coming off. And under the step to the bow. It gas a rj45 female plug.

                              That is the car part of an old Analog cellular phone. The cable on the left goes to the antenna. There is a plug next to it where the phone handset plugged in. I'm not even sure there are any analog towers left to get a signal from.
