1. A method for positioning a front panel of a telematics terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving a control signal indicating a change in a physical position of a display panel of the telematics terminal; and
moving a front panel of the telematics terminal based on the control signal, which is distinct from the display panel of the telematics terminal but located on a same side of the telematics terminal as the display panel, from a first position to a second position, the second position being physically displaced from the first position.

Abstract
Positioning a front panel of a telematics terminal includes receiving an electronic signal that indicates a change in a physical position of a display panel of the telematics terminal. The front panel, which is distinct from the display panel of the telematics terminal but located on a same side of the telematics terminal as the display panel, is moved from a first position to a second position based on the control signal. The second position is physically displaced from the first position.
