Abstract

There is provided an electronic apparatus having a simple anti-theft mechanism. In this construction, a detachable panel unit is designed to render the electronic apparatus operative in a state of being attached to the electronic apparatus main body, and to render the electronic apparatus inoperative in a state of being detached from the electronic apparatus main body. By virtue of this configuration, the electronic apparatus main body, namely the electronic apparatus in itself can be prevented from being stolen from a vehicle simply by detaching the detachable panel unit and placing it in a secret area determined by users or others.
