An integrated vehicle navigation, communication and entertainment system which also has vehicle security features. A dash-mounted unit includes a global positioning system receiver for receiving radio frequency signals and generating therefrom a vehicle position, a screen for displaying navigational or other information to a vehicle occupant, a digital data media player for reading position-related navigational information from a removable digital data media such as a compact disc, DVD, mini-disc, or removable hard disk drive, and for audio playback from conventional audio disks. The system controller obtains a position generated by the global positioning system receiver, obtains position-related navigation information from the digital data medium which is related to the vehicle position generated by the global positioning system receiver, and delivers the navigational information to the screen for display. A handheld unit operates as a remote control for controlling the dash unit to perform various navigational functions, and further serves as a fully portable wireless telephone.
