Default Whats this for?

Was tidying out my boot and came across these electrical components inside the left side boot trim. One is a small 12v battery. Other box has motorola logo on it.

Any ideas what they are for - maybe some long forgotton alarm system or sound system??

Try googling the bar code? defo for something that needed a power back up hence the alarm battery.
I found a ten pack of condoms in the same area in mine, which were a bit more useful then what you have found.

Probably an old phone setup, given it's Motorola, neither are standard.

LOL, I wouldn't tell the good lady that though, they were probably way out of date
