    Abstract: A faceplate including an antenna for receiving navigation signals, a processor electrically coupled to the antenna for determining a position, a display electrically coupled to the processor for displaying navigation information, and at least one input arrangement. The faceplate able to be installed on a front side of a vehicular electronic unit in a dashboard of a vehicle. The at least one input arrangement controlling the vehicular electronic unit when the faceplate is received on the front side of the vehicular electronic unit. A system for navigating including a handheld unit. The handheld unit includes an antenna, a processor electrically coupled to the antenna, and a display electrically coupled to the processor. A further antenna is situated on a vehicle and a receptacle is situated in a dashboard of the vehicle for receiving the handheld unit. The receptacle electrically couples the further antenna to the handheld unit when the handheld unit is received in the receptacle. The handheld unit operates to navigate a user in a stand-alone capacity and operates to navigate a driver of the vehicle when the handheld unit is received in the receptacle. A method for navigating a pedestrian, navigating a driver, and securing a vehicular electronic component is provided. The method includes determining by a processor whether a handheld unit is received in a dashboard receptacle. The processor is situated in the handheld unit and electrically coupled to an antenna situated in the handheld unit. The processor is electrically coupled to a display situated in the handheld unit. The dashboard receptacle is situated in the vehicle. Navigating the pedestrian using the antenna if the handheld unit is not received in the dashboard receptacle. Navigating the driver using a further antenna if the handheld unit is received in the dashboard receptacle. The further antenna is situated on the vehicle.

    Abstract translation: 一种面板,包括用于接收导航信号的天线,与天线电耦合以确定位置的处理器,电耦合到处理器的用于显示导航信息的显示器以及至少一个输入装置。 该面板能够安装在车辆仪表板中的车辆电子单元的前侧。 当面板被接收在车辆电子单元的前侧时,控制车辆电子单元的至少一个输入装置。 用于导航的系统,包括手持式单元。 手持单元包括天线,电耦合到天线的处理器和电耦合到处理器的显示器。 另外的天线位于车辆上,并且插座位于车辆的仪表板中,用于接收手持单元。 当手持单元被容纳在容器中时,插座将另外的天线电耦合到手持单元。 手持单元操作以独立的能力导航用户,并且当手持单元被接收在插座中时,操作以导航车辆的驾驶员。 提供了一种用于导航行人,驾驶员驾驶员和固定车辆电子部件的方法。 该方法包括由处理器确定手持单元是否被接收在仪表板容器中。 处理器位于手持单元中,并且电耦合到位于手持单元中的天线。 处理器电耦合到位于手持单元中的显示器。 仪表板容器位于车辆中。 如果手持设备没有被接收在仪表板上,则使用天线浏览行人。 如果手持设备被接收在仪表板插座中,则使用另外的天线浏览驱动程序。 另外的天线位于车辆上。
