09592735 · 2017-03-14 · ·

The operating device (12) for a vehicle component, especially a radio, a CD and/or DVD player, a navigation device, an infotainment device, a controller for a heating or air-conditioning device, or a man-machine interface, comprises a housing (10) having a front face (14) and a longitudinally extending key body (26) that has an actuation end (24) projecting over the front face (14) of the housing (10) and a bearing end arranged inside the housing (10). The actuation end (24) has an upper side (42) and a lower side (46) that extend across the front face (14) at a non-zero angle and project therefrom, and can be actuated to input an operating command by manually exerting force onto the upper or lower side (42, 46). The operating device further comprises a support (28) which has a bearing end (30) by which the key body (26) can be moved in two spatial axes that are orthogonal to each other. The bearing (30) comprises at least three suspension elements (32, 34) by means of which the bearing end of the key body (26) is movably held on the support (28) and which are arranged in at least two spaced-apart suspension planes (36, 38) that extend in parallel to each other and to the length of the key body (26).

REMOVABLE AND DOCKABLE DISPLAY

A device assembly of a vehicle that includes a display housing where a display is attached to the front of the housing and a receiver is attached to the rear of the housing. The receiver couples to a receiver mount on the vehicle. An interlock connection exists between the display housing and the receiver mount. When the interlock connection is locked, triggered by the car being in a dynamic state, the display housing cannot be slidably decoupled from the receiver mount. When the interlock connection is unlocked, triggered by the vehicle being in a static state, the display housing can be slidably decoupled from the receiver mount.

Immersive vehicle component configuration and operation

A vehicle system, including one or more vehicle immersion components, operatively coupled to a vehicle processing apparatus, each of the one or more vehicle immersion components configured to execute an immersive effect in the vehicle. A vehicle component, operatively coupled to the vehicle processing apparatus, is configured to execute a vehicle function, wherein an operational profile includes data for assigning the vehicle component to the one or more vehicle immersion components, and where the vehicle component is configured to modify operation from executing the vehicle function to executing the immersive effect when the operational profile is executed in the vehicle.
