I was looking under my drivers side dash just a lil bit ago and found this box thing that looked like another security system. the car already has a new(er) clifford security system in it so i took this thing out and i have no clue what it is. It's about a 5 x 3 x 1" black box with the words "Auto Page" on the front. on the one side it has wires coming out and it says "RED +12, BATT. BLACK -GND. There's another hole that says "CAR RADIO" next to it. Another that says "CAR ANTENNA" that an antenna wire was plugged into and ran up to the over head console and just kinda stops. Another threaded fitting (like for a CB antenna) that says "ANTENNA". then there's a dial that you can adjust from 1-7/min-max. On the opposite side there's a bunch of screws that wires would hook up to- one that says "IGN", + and - screws that say "TRIG", and two sets of + and - screws that say "SENSOR". On the back sticker it says manufactured in '88. I'll try and get a pic of it if i can get my hands on a digital camera in the next few days. Anyone have any friggin clue what this thing could be? I was thinking maybe one of those pager things that tell you whats happening with your car, but this thing looks too 80's to be one of those!! Any ideas?!?!

 

Its an old style paging alarm.

 

LOL, i have one of those in my T/A. they work great. i get like a half mile signal if the alarm is set off or even if thers a warning chirp from the alarm.

 

my friend had a paging alarm in his 79 datsan. it was put in in the mid eightys, so 88 is not to old
