In particular, the mounting bracket includes a plurality of fixation parts fixed to the members defining the cowl space and a mounting part to which the ESG is fixed.

An entertainment system for a vehicle, the system including: a sound emitting module including multiple sound emitting units, wherein the sound emitting module is adapted to be arranged such that the multiple sound emitting units are distributed along the transverse extension of a windshield of the vehicle and to emit sound towards the windshield, and a display device arranged between the sound emitting module and an occupant seating position, wherein the display device is arranged to cover the sound emitting module as seen from the occupant seating position. The disclosed entertainment system provides the advantage of integrating a more advanced sound system in the form of a sound emitting module including multiple sound emitting units.

A rear seat display device is provided in a vehicle at a position viewable from a rear seat of the vehicle. The rear seat display device includes a display, a built-in speaker, and a controller that (i) acquires a signal relating to control of a sound to be output to a vehicle speaker mounted in the vehicle from an in-vehicle audio device, the vehicle speaker being a different speaker than the built-in speaker, and (ii) controls a sound to be output from the built-in speaker based on the signal relating to the control of the sound.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side utility vehicle having a plurality of accessories including a cover assembly for covering an opening in a cargo area of the vehicle and a coupler for coupling various components of the vehicle.

An audio output system for a vehicle. The audio output system includes a volume setting device for setting a volume of an audio signal, an audio input for an audio input signal from an audio source, a warning tone device for providing a warning tone signal, an audio-level measuring device for measuring the audio level at the audio input, and a control unit. The audio-level measuring device is configured to limit the maximum audio level of the audio input signal to a predefined first threshold value as a function of the set volume. The control unit is configured to control an audio output signal on the basis of the warning tone signal, the audio input signal and the set volume, and to output an audible or visual notification if the audio input signal present at the audio input has no audio level.

A truck cap having a cap body with an opening, and a cap door that is movable between open and closed positions with respect to the opening.
