Abstract
A built-in appliance for a motor vehicle, wherein the appliance is designed as a radio telephone, comprising an introduction orifice for a storage card arranged on a front side of the built-in appliance. The introduction orifice is capable of being closed by a cover which serves at the same time as an operating element. As a result, the available space on the front side is not reduced, as compared with conventional built-in appliances. At the same time, it is easy for a user to extract the storage card which, moreover, is protected against environmental influences by the cover.
