Abstract

An opening portion (2) is formed on an instrumental panel (1). A plurality of units (U1-U3) and a panel body (P) corresponding to the units are arranged. The units (U1-U3) have neither an input portion such as switches operated by the passenger nor an output portion such as a display for the passenger, and switch groups (7, 8) and a display (5) are mounted on the panel body (P). The units (U1-U3) and panel body (P) are coupled and connected to each other in advance to obtain an electronic equipment assembly. Of this assembly, the units (U1-U3) are stored in the instrumental panel (1) via the opening portion (2), and the opening portion (2) is covered by the panel body (P), so that the panel body (P) constitutes a portion of the wall surface in the passenger room.
