Abstract
The invention enables an electronic system, which is conveniently operated by a user, to be easily installed in a vehicle, such as an automobile, etc. A structure of electric equipment for a vehicle is provided, wherein vehicle-side connectors are disposed in a plurality of places in the vehicle. Constituent elements of an electronic system used in the vehicle are partly combined with a detachable connector capable of being connected to any one of the vehicle-side connectors to thereby form a detachable unit. Electronic system constituent elements in the detachable unit and electronic system constituent elements provided in the vehicle body are connected to each other to construct a new electronic system when the detachable connection is connected to any one of the vehicle-side connectors. As a result, a user's favorite detachable unit can be used in a user's favorite position.
