Abstract

An entertainment device for vehicles having communication and information means adaptable to include various telecommunication and Internet applications, a sun-visor monitoring screen is configured with the entertainment device for viewing data content. The sun-visor is configured with an electronic screen protector for protecting the screen. The device, which is referred to as megatel, incorporates receivers and transmitters to enable cell phone and Internet transmission via the radio wave of an entertainment device radiated towards the antenna to the megatel body and output to the CPU. The signal to the CPU is controlled by the controller so that transmissions for the radio, the cell phone, and the Internet is separated and output to the monitoring screen and the speakers of the entertainment device so as to allow hands free communication while driving.
