the only thing i can think of is maybe it connected to one of those old school car phones that you actually mounted in your car

Based on further review, it looks more like a Motorola GPS transceiver.

It's a Motorola GPS transceiver, in the ebay link I posted above, it shows a pretty much identical unit; but in a silver case. Copy and paste without the quotations marks (" ") to view.
