To provide an environment for an occupant to easily operate an onboard electronic unit while he is seated in a driver seat or a front passenger seat.
An operation arm part is extended in an upwardly inclined shape to be directed to an instrument panel 4 from a part in a vicinity of a seat such as an arm rest part 3 in a car. A switch group 6 is installed on a tip part of the operation arm part 5. A screen of a display unit 7 is switched to a screen for operating various kinds of switches and displayed based on the operation of the switch group 6. Compared with a conventional operation of switches installed in the instrument panel 4, the occupant seated in the driver seat or the front passenger seat can operate the switches in a comfortable attitude without extending his hand, and an environment for easy operation at the driver seat or the front passenger seat can be obtained.
