Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing having an aperture and a main circuit board disposed in housing. The main circuit board includes an edge and a plurality of contact surfaces located at the edge proximate to the aperture, whereby a mating connector is connectable to the contact surfaces by inserting the mating connector into the housing from outside of the housing via the aperture. An update connector adapter includes a support structure and a mating connector mounted on the support structure. The mating connector includes a plurality of contact terminals for contacting the contact surfaces. The update connector adapter further includes an update connector mounted to the support structure. A programming unit is connectable to the update connector for programming the main circuit board. The control unit may be programmed by inserting the update connector adapter into the aperture and connecting the mating connector to the contact surfaces.

Abstract: A navigation system is provided in a vehicle. The navigation system operates using a dedicated operating mode for generating navigation information and outputting such information to the vehicle user when a relevant event has occurred. The navigation system includes a positioning device for determining the vehicle position with respect to a digital map representation and for generating a corresponding position data signal, a traffic monitoring device for receiving traffic information data and analyzing the traffic information data so as to detect a relevant event relating to a travel route on which the vehicle moves, where the traffic monitoring device generates a corresponding traffic monitoring data signal. The system includes a processing unit for generating navigation information based on the position data signal and/or the traffic monitoring data signal, and an output device for outputting the navigation information to a vehicle user.
