After authenticating at least one functional component which is safety-relevant and/or emission-relevant to the driving mode of the motor vehicle with regard to whether the functional component is an original component of the motor vehicle or a functional component which has been replaced without authorization and/or has been manipulated without authorization, the operation of at least one other functional component of the motor vehicle is controlled in such a manner that the functionality or at least one functionality of the at least one other functional component is selectively restricted if the authentication which has been carried out reveals that the at least one functional component which is safety-relevant and/or emission-relevant to the driving mode of the motor vehicle has been replaced without authorization and/or has been manipulated without authorization.

A secure system for replication of a personal access device to function with a vehicle having an immobilizer system, the system including a console configured to receive information selected from one or more of the categories of vehicle identity data, customer identity data and processor identity data and having a communication link. A processor tool having processor and a communication link. A communication link between said console and said processor tool configured to communicate selected data to the tool. A logic configured to communicate selected portions of said input data and a secure memory configured to store selected portions of said data and transmit confirmation of such storage to enable operation of said processor tool. The features can be distributed in a network or embodied in a single unitary device.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle information system for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a set of compartment closing members adapted to close an interior compartment of the vehicle to the environment ambient of the vehicle and further comprises a set of operating lights, arranged outwardly of the vehicle, and intended to be used during driving of the vehicle. The information system is adapted to receive a compartment closing member signal indicative of a compartment closing member of the set of compartment closing members being unclosed and/or unlocked, and upon receipt of the compartment closing member signal, issue an information signal to the vehicle such that one or more of the lights in the set of outwardly arranged operating lights is activated to thereby indicate which compartment closing member of the set of compartment closing members is unclosed and/or unlocked.

A smart ECU switches on a traveling power supply on condition that a portable device of a user is present in a start area set in a vehicle. The smart ECU normally determines whether the portable device is present in the start area based on reception strength of a signal from the portable device at a first communication device that is a specific BLE communication device disposed in the vehicle. However, in a case where a failure is detected in the first communication device, the smart ECU determines that the portable device is present in the start area when reception strength at a second communication device, which is another BLE communication device set in advance as a substitute device, is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

After authenticating at least one functional component which is safety-relevant and/or emission-relevant to the driving mode of the motor vehicle with regard to whether the functional component is an original component of the motor vehicle or a functional component which has been replaced without authorization and/or has been manipulated without authorization, the operation of at least one other functional component of the motor vehicle is controlled in such a manner that the functionality or at least one functionality of the at least one other functional component is selectively restricted if the authentication which has been carried out reveals that the at least one functional component which is safety-relevant and/or emission-relevant to the driving mode of the motor vehicle has been replaced without authorization and/or has been manipulated without authorization.

A door glass welcome system includes a door glass configured to be installed at a door of a vehicle, a glass moving portion disposed to move the door glass, a screen configured to display an image on the door glass, and a power connection blocking portion configured to supply or block power to the screen. The power connection blocking portion may include a fixing member that is disposed to move together with the door glass and that is electrically connected to the screen, a contact member that is fixed to a vehicle body to selectively contact the fixing member according to a moving position of the fixing member, and a power supply portion that supplies power to the contact member and supplies power to the screen through the fixing member.

A motor vehicle having a security system includes a first lamp for indicating the operating state of the security system, and an antenna device which is supported by the body of the motor vehicle and is arranged outside the vehicle body. The first lamp is integrated into the antenna device.

A vehicle security device antenna LED status indicator, matching the host of a vehicle security system installed inside a vehicle, said antenna unit including: a circuit structure with relevant electronic components such as a wireless transceiver; an LED to display the received signal and usage status, electrically connected to the circuit structure; and a light-guiding structure, corresponding and abutting to the LED, with the end of the light-guiding structure away from the LED bonded with a light hood; the antenna light unit is attached to the windshield at the place behind the internal rearview mirror. When the anti-theft system of the vehicle is activated, the antenna light unit will distinctively indicate that the vehicle is under the anti-theft status.
