Abstract
A telematic device in which a car radio with an RDS module, a wireless telephone, and a positioning and navigation system are provided in one housing. The housing is designed so that it can be installed in a standard bay in the instrument panel of a motor vehicle. The telematic device can be used to receive general information via the car radio as well as specific information via the GSM module. In addition, data relating to, for example, the vehicle position, a desired destination, or an emergency call can be sent to the central station. The central station calculates one or more routes and transmits them back to the telematic device. In the event of an accident or a vehicle breakdown, an emergency call is transmitted and assistance obtained. Additional telematic services provided include an expanded anti-theft system for the motor vehicle, hotel reservations, etc.
