Hello again...

I know this is kinda out there, but figured I'd try anyways. Does anyone happen to have any technical docs on the VIC (Vehicle Information Center, the touchscreen thingy) that came in the late 80s/early 90s Toronados? Specifically, I'm looking for anything having to do with the optional cell-phone setup that integrated with them, or anything third-party that might have been capable of being connected to them.

A friend of mine just picked up an '89 Trofeo with a VIC, and I'm extremely curious about what might be possible. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that these docs are probably going to be offline somewhere. Any info I can get would be awesome.

It was an option, but a rare one at that.


Even if you could find an original car phone for a Toronado, it probably wouldn't work any more.

This commercial shows one with a car phone.
