Abstract: A display control device comprises a navigation unit for generating route guidance data; a small-sized display unit for displaying information concerning audio-system; and a main unit connected via an interface to the navigation unit and the small-sized display unit with a communication cable, said main unit including: recognizing means for recognizing the connection of the small-sized display unit; and control means for sending out a request for route guidance display to the navigation unit when the recognizing means recognizes the connection of the small-sized display unit, and causing the received route guidance data to be displayed through interruption on the small-sized display unit when the route guidance data generated by the navigation unit is received via the communication cable and the interface.

Abstract: A display device is provided with a center unit 10 having a center display unit 12, a slave unit 20 having a slave display unit 21 and a communication line for communicatively connecting the center unit 10 and the slave unit 20. When the center control microcomputer 15 of the center unit 10 detects a predetermined operation through a key operating unit 14, the center control microcomputer 15 and the slave control microcomputer 24 make two of the center display unit 12 and the slave display unit 21 provide a linking display as if these display units operate as one display unit.
