A roof structure of a motor vehicle includes an outer sheet and a headliner below the outer sheet. A telematics control unit (TCU) is disposed in an insulated space of the roof structure. The TCU is configured to provide Wi-Fi within a passenger space of the vehicle above an electrically non-conductive grille extending across an opening in the headliner. The grille permits airflow between the insulated space and a passenger space below the headliner to cool the TCU, without interfering with Wi-Fi signals from the TCU.

A mounting structure for supporting an operator interface of a construction machine is provided. The mounting structure includes an operator console, a support structure extending from the operator console, a bracket rotatably mounted to the support structure, an arm assembly coupled to the operator interface, and a lid for enclosing the operator interface. The bracket slides the operator interface between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the support structure. The arm assembly is pivotable relative to the bracket to move the operator interface between a storage position and an open position relative to the bracket. In the storage position, the operator interface is received within a storage portion and a lid encloses the operator interface within the storage portion. In the open position, the operator interface is moved away from the storage portion.

An autonomous vehicle is provided with a touch panel that enables an operator to input vehicle speed control instructions during an automatic driving mode and a mechanical operation unit for inputting driving control instructions. The mechanical operation unit can be stored in a storage compartment covered with a lid.

A system is provided for streaming media content in a vehicle. The system includes a personal media streaming appliance system configured to connect to a media delivery system and receive media content from the media delivery system at least via a cellular network. The personal media streaming appliance system operates to transmit a media signal representative to the received media content to a vehicle media playback system so that the vehicle media playback system operates to play the media content in the vehicle.

An interface/electronics module for reading information from a vehicle data bus and controlling functions available through the vehicle data bus. A graphical user interface is provided. The interface may include a stand-alone tablet computer or may be part of an integrated and permanently-mounted display. The interface/electronics module may include the functionality of the factory audio system (such as a radio tuner, power amplifier, etc.). In addition, the interface/electronics module is able to transmit commands via the vehicle's CAN bus.

A detachable remote controller and a remote controlling method of controlling an air conditioner of an autonomous vehicle are provided. The detachable remote controller may be configured to control the air conditioner to be detachable from a console box or a front console box by a detachment button.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus, which physically secures an Electronic Control Module (ECM) to the chassis frame of the engine block of a diesel vehicle's engine, such as the 12.7 Liter or the 14 Liter Series 60 Detroit Diesel Engines, using a heavy, lockable bracket that prevents the removal of the ECM from the diesel engine it controls. The most preferred embodiments comprise a diagonal cross beam with mounting cylinders on each end and studded mounting bolts, which allow the device to be secured to an engine block and to surround and secure the ECM against theft. Another embodiment comprises two inwardly-facing parallel L-beams, which comprise mounting cylinders, joined by a flat cross beam and studded mounting bolts, which allow the device to be secured to an engine block and to surround and secure the ECM against theft.

A structural unit for provision in the front end or in the tail end of a motor vehicle, wherein the structural unit comprises a support body and at least two environment sensing systems, wherein the environment sensing systems are received on the support body.

In aspects, a disclosed mounting system includes a device support plate, a base mounting plate, and at least one fastening element. The base mounting plate includes at least one bracket for coupling to the device support plate. The fastening element for securing the device support plate to the base mounting plate. The device support plate includes at least one connector defined by a wall arranged about a central longitudinal axis. The wall includes a plurality of resilient wall portions. An internal peripheral surface of the wall includes a channel defining a receiver for receiving the fastening element. The fastening element including at least two engagement members that include an external peripheral surface defining a mating surface for contacting a corresponding mating surface of the receiver.

A switch device includes: an adhesive base adhered to a surface of a surface member; and an operation assembly connected to the adhesive base. The operation assembly includes: an operation base connected to the adhesive base; and an operation knob that is rotatable with respect to the operation base. The operation knob is connected to the adhesive base and is removable from the adhesive base in an axial direction of the operation knob.
