Abstract
An instrument panel unit of a vehicle incorporates a radio signal receiver formed on a circuit board which is fixed over a meter circuit board in parallel thereto within a meter housing. It is disposed so that an antenna inlet on the circuit board is located in one outer region among longitudinally trisected regions of the meter circuit board. The meter circuit board works efficiently as additional part of antenna, thereby improving the signal receiving performance inclusive of the antenna gain of the receiver.
