All that was offered post 05 was a microphone and a connection to the audio system to mute the source and route the phone audio to the speakers, three wires from memory plus power and ground.

My 1999 estate had a square Nokia box mounted under the dash on passenger side and the receiver were mounted on center part of the dash. I removed it but im re-using receiver mount for my phone holder.

That was probably added by a previous owner, the binnacle was a genuine Saab accessory, and a pain to fit.
You should be able to trace a cable back from there to a point behind the head unit.
A little research finds that this was a car phone not, as is common today, an interface for a mobile phone so it will have had a handset with a keypad. Below is a diagram of the parts of the Nokia Car Telephone.
This was most likely dealer installed or fitted by a specialist but I doubt it was a factory fit.

Everything on my car has been "repaired" really half assed or the broken part is just removed (rear wiper pump, ac compressor etc). Frustrating but i will sort it out. I found from google that the VAG/VW used the same Nokia phone in their cars.
