In various embodiments, a moodroof media application provides media content into a vehicle cabin. In operation, the moodroof media application determines at least one state associated with the vehicle cabin based on sensor data from at least one sensor. The moodroof media application then receives media content associated with the at least one state. The moodroof media application further causes visual content associated with the media content to be displayed on at least one display surface positioned on a ceiling of the vehicle cabin.

The invention relates to a sun blind system for a motor vehicle, having two guide rails, in each of which a guide band is received, and a flat blind body which is connected to the two guide bands, wherein a receiving channel is provided on each guide rail for the corresponding guide band, said channel having two guide sections which are connected together by a deflecting section.

A sunshade for a vehicle is provided herein. The sunshade includes a base member having independently movable first and second portions. A first handle is disposed on the first portion and a second handle is disposed on the second portion. A lamp assembly is operably coupled to the base member.

A top of a convertible vehicle, including a top linkage which can be displaced between a closed and a storage position has a linkage assembly on either side of a vertical longitudinal center plane. Each linkage assembly includes a main multi-bar assembly, which is pivotably mounted on a respective vehicle-attached main bearing, and a front roof link, which pivots relative to the main multi-bar assembly when the linkage assembly is actuated, and is covered with a headliner assembly when the top linkage is in the closed position. The headliner assemblies comprise a front headliner flap which is articulated to the respective front roof link via a link assembly and which can be pivoted between a covering and an uncovering position, in which the front headliner flap is located when the top linkage is in the storage position and in which the respective front roof link is accessible from above.

A lighting system for a vehicle cabin is discloses and includes a light directing conduit disposed about at least a portion of an opening through a vehicle roof. A pin spot uses light from the light directing conduit for localized lighting within the vehicle interior.

A sunshade for a vehicle is provided herein. The sunshade includes a base member having independently movable first and second portions. A first handle is disposed on the first portion and a second handle is disposed on the second portion. A lamp assembly is operably coupled to the base member.

A fixed roof element for a vehicle roof, said fixed roof element having a panel to the underside of which at least one guide rail of a shading system is joined via a plastic moulded portion. The plastic moulded portion receives a clamping unit, which keeps the guide rail at the panel and which is formed by at least one insert part of the plastic moulded portion.

A shading arrangement of a transparent roof section of a passenger car, having a flat shading element displaceable between a shading position and an uncovering position and having a lower side facing towards a vehicle interior and an upper side facing towards a vehicle environment. An indirect illuminating device can be provided which illuminates the shading element from the upper side and/or the lower side. The shading element can have a lighting effect material that interacts with the illuminating device.

A system enables a portion of a vehicle to be shielded using a removable valance. The system includes an enclosure panel having an outer surface, a first coupling mechanism coupling the enclosure panel to the vehicle, a valance having an inner surface, and a second coupling mechanism including a first portion coupled to the outer surface of the enclosure panel and a second portion coupled to the inner surface of the valance. The second portion is configured to engage the first portion such that the valance is removably coupleable to the enclosure panel.

A method for re-initializing a moon roof control system includes sequentially re-initializing first a sunshade controller and then a moon roof panel controller. The step of sequentially re-initializing is implemented by actuating one or more sunshade and/or moon roof panel actuators for a predetermined re-initializing time period that is less than a full duration of the re-initializing.
