The operating unit for a vehicle is provided with a housing with a front face and an operating element arranged on the front face of the housing and having a center of gravity and an operating surface. Said operating element is mounted on and/or in the housing in a spring-elastic manner along a vertical axis of movement extending essentially orthogonally to the operating surface and along a lateral movement axis extending essentially transversely with respect thereto. At least one sensor for detecting an actuation movement of the operating element in the direction of the vertical movement axis is provided. Also, the operating unit comprises an actuator arranged in and/or on the housing for feedback movement of the operating element at least also in the lateral movement axis during a detected actuating movement of the operating element, wherein the actuator comprises an electromagnetically controllable drive element which is mechanically coupled to the operating element which can be moved back and forth along a movement axis. The center of gravity of the operating element lies on the movement axis of the drive element of the actuator.

A motor vehicle control panel includes a front face including a control zone; a printed circuit board; at least one electrically conductive capacitive detection element extending along a vertical axis from the rear surface of the front face to an electrical contact zone of the printed circuit board; a light source mounted on the printed circuit board and able to produce a back lighting light beam toward the control zone through the capacitive detection element; the capacitive detection element also comprises at least one rigid tubular part forming a light guide for the light beam and at least one elastic part made in one piece with the rigid tubular part so as to compensate the clearances between the rear surface and the detection element and between the printed circuit board and the detection element.

A heads-up display (HUD) mirror housing. The HUD mirror housing includes a peripheral frame portion extending along a longitudinal axis, a rear body portion connected to the peripheral frame portion connected to each other to house a mirror such that a reflective surface of the mirror is exposed, and first and second pegs extending away from the peripheral frame portion and extending along the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the first peg has a first bearing surface configured to bear against a first bracket mounting slot when the HUD mirror housing is in an assembled configuration.

A device for a vehicle for displaying at least one symbol has a translucent plastic layer with a non-translucent coating, wherein a symbol face for a symbol to be displayed by the device is recessed from the non-translucent coating. Furthermore, the device has a non-translucent intermediate component, which is applied outside the symbol face and surrounding the symbol face on the non-translucent coating and which forms a light shaft adjoining the symbol face. Furthermore, the device has a diffuser element, which is arranged and designed inside the light shaft and spaced apart from the symbol face by a gap in order to convert light penetrating the diffuser element to diffuse light for illuminating the symbol face.

The present disclosure is directed to an application store on board a vehicle. The application store contains, in one configuration, a plurality of applications for installation on an on board computer of the vehicle, with the applications provided to the vehicle operator being provided to the operator being based on predetermined types of information related to the vehicle, its state, operation, and/or configuration, vehicle location, vehicle type, make, model, and/or year of manufacture, and/or occupant(s) and/or occupant(s) of other vehicles.

An operating unit for a vehicle, e.g., an infotainment system for controlling diverse vehicle components, can include a housing and an operating element mounted in a spring-elastic manner on and/or in the housing along a vertical axis of movement extending substantially orthogonally to the operating surface and along a lateral axis of movement extending substantially transversely to the vertical axis of movement. The operating unit can also include at least one sensor for detecting an actuating movement of the operating element in the direction of the vertical axis of movement and an actuator arranged in and/or on the housing for the feedback movement of the operating element at least also in the lateral axis of movement during a detected actuating movement of the operating element, and a spring frame for the spring-elastic mounting of the operating element.

A charging port cover and/or fuel cap module for a motor vehicle for receiving or attaching at least one interface, which is used for charging and/or refueling a motor vehicle-side energy accumulator. The charging port cover and/or fuel cap module also serves to fasten at least one device having light sources. The device illuminates both the charging port cover and/or fuel cap module and the current charge level and/or fuel level of the energy accumulator. The cover and/or module has at least one first opening and a second opening adjacent thereto. The openings are oriented such that emitted or deliverable light of the assembled device can emerge from the first opening in the direction of the operator and from the second opening in the direction of the interface for charging and/or refueling the energy accumulator.

A pivotable display system having a traction spring tensioned to reversibly pivot the display around a pivot axis of a shaft connected to an upper portion of a display in a direction from a front side of the display toward the rear side of the display. In the event of an accident-related application of force below a threshold, the display is rotatable in a rearward direction toward an instrument panel, so that a steering column pushed in a direction towards the display avoids or at least reduces the risk of destruction of the display. In the event of accident-related application of force above the threshold, the traction spring may reversibly displace the display upwardly away from the steering column.

Disclosed are vehicle cockpit module assembly including an actuator module to provide power, and fixed to an interior of a dashboard assembly, a main housing fixed to the interior of the dashboard assembly to fix the actuator module at one side and to accommodate a pulley, a timing belt, and a timing belt clip, a motor using power from the actuator module to provide a rotational force to a motor rotating shaft, a slip gear module connected to the motor rotating shaft through a center between a rear slip gear and a front slip gear and configured to transmit the rotational force transmitted from the motor rotating shaft through a frictional force between the rear slip gear and the front slip gear, the pulley rotates due to the rotational force transmitted through the slip gear module, and the timing belt connected to the pulley converts rotary motion into linear motion.

An electronic unit for a vehicle, comprising surface elements arranged next to one another with a visible surface side and a surface underside is disclosed. The surface elements are fixed in a housing. The housing has a top side facing the surface underside and an underside, wherein a carrier plate is provided. Each housing on its underside has at least one protruding fixing element for fixing the surface elements to the carrier plate. The carrier plate connects the surface elements together, wherein each fixing element has an index element arranged on the fixing element between the carrier plate and the underside and is releasably connected to the fixing element. The index elements are connected to the carrier plate by substance bonding so each surface element is releasably fixed to the carrier plate, and wherein by the index elements, the surface elements are arranged relative to and level with one another.
