It holds the SIM for the built in phone for BMW engined FFRRs. The holder slides into a cradle beneath the phone dock so doesn't actually go in the phone. The phone then communicates with the SIM in the same manner that a wireless landline phone does at home rather than transmitting out direct from the handset. I guess it was a way of cheaply reducing the size and power demands of the handset without resorting to modern (at the time) technology. Actually that doesn't make sense as mobile phones were quite small by 2002. Who knows why they did it that way. |
