Multimedia unit
First Claim
1. A multimedia unit with functional components (RT, BR, AU, GPS-S) for using different media in a vehicle, which includes at least one basic device (BD) and a removable operating section (OS) and where the operating section (OS) comprises:
- a radio telephone which can be used independently of the basic device (BD), a control surface with activation elements (E1 to E9) and at least one display element (D1,D2) for turning on or displaying operating modes of the functional components (RT,BR,AU,GPS-S), and a processor system (O-μ
P, FLASH 2) with separate control and display software (SW) for operating functional components (RT,BR,AU, GPS-S), characterized in that;
the control surface is a touch sensitive screen (TS) which, in conjunction with the processor system (O-μ
P, FLASH 2) and the control and display software (SW), generates an interactive user surface (F1,F2,F3) which is adapted to the functional component to be switched on in such an intelligent manner, that the latter only has those activation elements (E1 to E8, D1, D2) which refer to the functional components (RT, BR, AU, GPS-S) being switched on, wherein the functional components include the radio telephone.

Abstract
The invention concerns a multimedia unit with a removable operating section (OS) for a vehicle. The multimedia unit controls and operates functional components for different media and is designed to be permanently installed in the instrument panel of a vehicle. The multimedia unit achieves good protection in a simple manner against theft and unauthorized use, and simplifies the operation of a multimedia unit with any number of functional components. The multimedia unit has a user surface of the removable operating section (OS), which also contains an antenna A2, a microphone MI 1 and a telephone loudspeaker and, is designed as a touch sensitive screen (TS), which in cooperation with a processor in the operating section (OS) and a control and display software generates an interactive user surface (F1) which is adapted to the respective functional component to be operated.
A significant advantage of the invention is that a single operating section of the multifunctional control device not only enables the operation of different functional components in the vehicle, but that it even generates user surfaces which correspond in their optical appearance to that of the known functional components.
