A positioning hole is formed in the cross member, which is arranged and fixed to the floor panel and includes a second bracket. The first bracket is formed with a pin to be inserted into the positioning hole.

According to the vehicle described above, the operator arranging the electronic device inserts a pin into the positioning hole formed in the cross member, and first arranges the electronic device behind the cross member. Then, the electronic device is rotated around the pin to arrange the electronic device at a predetermined position. Then, the operator fixes the first bracket to the cross member and further fixes the second bracket to the floor panel. By rotating the electronic device around the pin in this way, the electronic device can be easily arranged at a predetermined position.

According to the vehicle according to the present disclosure, it is possible to reduce the work of attaching the electronic device in the vehicle provided with the electronic device arranged behind the rear door and behind the cross member.
