For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occupant 20 from having anxiety about erroneously rotating the first operation member 18 due to the rotation operation of the second operation member 30. Can be operated comfortably.

しかも、上述の如く、第１操作部材１８が手２０Ａの全体により回転操作される一方、第２操作部材３０が手２０Ａの中指と人差指との指先で回転操作される。このため、第１操作部材１８と第２操作部材３０とを適切に独立して回転操作することができる。   Moreover, as described above, the first operation member 18 is rotated by the entire hand 20A, while the second operation member 30 is rotated by the fingertips of the middle finger and the index finger of the hand 20A. Therefore, the first operating member 18 and the second operating member 30 can be appropriately rotated independently.

また、上述の如く第１操作部材１８に第２操作部材３０が設けられるため、省スペース化を図ることができる。   Further, since the second operation member 30 is provided on the first operation member 18 as described above, space saving can be achieved.

なお、本実施の形態において、許可手段としての許可ボタン（図示省略）を第１操作部材１８に設けた構成としてもよい。この場合、第１操作部材１８を上側から把持した手２０Ａの指（例えば薬指）で操作（例えば押圧操作）可能な位置に許可ボタンを配置して、許可ボタンが操作されないと、第１操作部材１８を回転操作できないか、又は、第１操作部材１８が回転操作されても自動変速機２２のシフトポジションが切り替えられない構成にする。これにより、第１操作部材１８の誤操作によって自動変速機２２のシフトポジションが切り替えられることを確実に防止することができる。   In the present embodiment, a permission button (not shown) as permission means may be provided on the first operating member 18. In this case, if the permission button is arranged at a position where the operation (for example, pressing operation) can be performed with the finger (for example, the ring finger) of the hand 20A holding the first operation member 18 from the upper side and the permission button is not operated, the first operation member 18 is configured such that the shift position of the automatic transmission 22 cannot be switched even if the rotation operation of the first operation member 18 is not performed. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the shift position of the automatic transmission 22 from being switched due to an erroneous operation of the first operating member 18.

さらに、本実施の形態では、本発明の第２操作手段をジョイスティック機構を構成する第２操作部材３０にした構成としたが、本発明の第２操作手段を所謂トラックボール機構を構成する回転部材にした構成としてもよい。   Further, in the present embodiment, the second operating means of the present invention is configured to be the second operating member 30 constituting the joystick mechanism, but the second operating means of the present invention is a rotating member constituting the so-called trackball mechanism. It is good also as the structure made into.

また、本実施の形態では、本発明の車載機器をナビゲーションシステム３４にした構成としたが、本発明の車載機器をエアコンディショナー、オーディオシステム、テレビ、ワイパ装置又は方向指示装置等にした構成としてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the in-vehicle device of the present invention is configured as the navigation system 34.
