5. A telematics unit comprising:
a telematics box for accommodation and for connection of components for the communication and data link of a vehicle;
and a holding frame, wherein the holding frame comprises an opening,
wherein the telematics box and the holding frame are matched to each other in such a way that, in a mounted state, the telematics box is accommodated in the opening and locked to the holding frame, so that the telematics box is carried by the holding frame and is removable by unlocking,
wherein the holding frame comprises at least two coupling means for the opening,
wherein the telematics box comprises at least two mating coupling means between an upper side and an underside, wherein, in the mounted state, the telematics box sits in the opening of the holding frame in such a way that individual coupling means and individual mating coupling means form coupling pairs, by which the telematics box is captively fixed in the holding frame,
wherein the telematics box further comprises at least one unlocking means formed by the individual mating coupling means and the individual coupling means, wherein, by the unlocking means, with a pivoting movement of a lever, the individual coupling means or the individual mating coupling means is moved so that a connection formed by one of the coupling pairs is released to remove the telematics box from the holding frame.
