Systems and methods for causing display of a messaging achievement pictograph based on messaging activity are provided. In some example embodiments, a message activity communication is received by a messaging activity service from a client device, the messaging active communication causing and adjustment to a message activity score and the message activity score transgressing a first threshold activity score. Responsive to the message activity transgressing the first threshold activity score, an achievement pictograph is displayed on the client device. In some example embodiments, the pictograph may be ephemeral and removal of the pictograph may be triggered by a designated time or by the message activity score transgressing a second threshold activity score. In some example embodiments, a notification is generated that notifies a user of the display or removal from display of the achievement pictograph.

A vehicle system includes: a reprogramming slave device that is an electronic control unit (hereinafter, referred to as ECU) to be a target of updating an update file of a program stored among a plurality of the ECUs; a reprogramming master device that transmits the update file to the reprogramming slave device in response to a request from a terminal operable by a vehicle user to control updating of the program stored in the reprogramming slave device; and a determination unit that determines traveling propriety of a vehicle when the update file is rewritten in the reprogramming slave device. The vehicle device functions as the reprogramming master device, and includes: an obtaining unit that obtains the traveling propriety determined by the determination unit; and a notification command unit that commands a notification medium to notify information of the traveling propriety obtained by the obtaining unit.

A vehicular exterior door handle assembly includes a handle portion and an illumination module having an illumination source that emits light when electrically powered. With the exterior door handle assembly mounted at a door handle region of a vehicle door and when the illumination source is electrically powered to emit light, light emitted by the illumination source illuminates the door handle region of the vehicle door. The illumination module is located and oriented at the vehicular exterior door handle assembly such that, when the illumination source is electrically powered to emit light, a hand grasping the handle portion to open the vehicle door does not block light emitted by the illumination source so that illumination is maintained at the door handle region of the vehicle door.

A vehicle anomaly detection device is used in a vehicle power system. The vehicle anomaly detection device includes a target wiring portion and an anomaly detection unit. The target wiring portion constitutes at least a portion of the inter-storage power path and is a target for anomaly detection. The anomaly detection unit performs a predetermined anomaly check operation on the target wiring portion and detects an anomaly in the target wiring portion based on the result of the anomaly check operation.

A wire harness unit including: a conduction path that conducts electricity between in-vehicle devices; and a cooling tube that cools the conduction path, wherein: the conduction path has a hollow tubular conductor having conductivity, and a first insulating layer covered by the tubular conductor, the cooling tube is configured to circulate a refrigerant therethrough and is separate from the tubular conductor, and the cooling tube passes through the first insulating layer.

A vehicle steering wheel device, including a center portion of a steering wheel, a steering wheel cover that covers the center portion on the dashboard side, the side opposite the driver, an electronic control unit stowed in an internal area between the steering wheel cover and the center portion, an opening section where a part of the steering wheel cover is open in a window shape, a lid detachably provided on the steering wheel cover that closes the opening section, and a harness provided in the internal space that connects to the electronic control unit and supplies power from the vehicle body side, where the electronic control unit is provided secured to the lid, and the lid is connected to the vehicle body side by the harness connected to the electronic control unit.

A transmission device (2) for an electrically driveable vehicle (38), comprising a transmission element (9), a parking lock (12), by means of which the transmission element (9) can be blocked and which has a parking lock actuator (14), a transmission housing (7), which encloses the transmission element (9) and the parking lock (12), a connection apparatus (15) with a cable arrangement (16) extending in the transmission housing (7) and a plug connector by which a first end of the cable arrangement (16) can be contacted from the exterior of the transmission housing (7), wherein a second end of the cable arrangement (16) is electrically connected to the parking lock actuator (14), and a pressure equalization apparatus, which runs through the plug connector (17) of the connection apparatus (15) and forms a gas-permeable connection between the interior of the parking lock actuator (14) and the exterior of the transmission housing (7).
