An antenna unit equipped with a satellite radio tuner and a
tuner-unequipped head unit are connected to each other through a serial
bus cable. Equipped in the antenna unit, the satellite radio tuner has a
tuner portion, a digital demodulating portion, an interface portion, and
a CPU. The interface portion serves as a speech/serial converting portion
for converting a digital speech signal into a serial signal. The head
unit includes an interface portion for receiving the serial signal sent
from the antenna unit through a serial bus cable. The interface portion
serves as a serial/speech converting portion for converting the received
serial signal into the speech signal.
