A device that includes a housing configured to couple to a vehicle console. The device further includes a lid that is configurable between a closed position and an open position. The device further includes a lock is configured to transition from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the lock is configured to maintain the lid in the closed position. In the unlocked configuration, the lock is configured to release the lid from the closed position. The device further includes a user interface configured to display products, receive a user input identifying a product, receive card information, send an authorization request that requests a purchase of the product, and send an authorization signal to a controller in response to receiving an approval message. The device further includes the controller configured to send an actuation signal to unlock the lock in response to receiving the authorization signal.

A motor vehicle assembly having a center component which can be arranged between two vehicle seats on a vehicle floor and which can be moved along a first direction parallel to the vehicle floor. The center component can additionally be moved along a second direction perpendicular to the vehicle floor.

A vehicular display system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle. The cameras capture image data and provide captured image data to the ECU. The system includes a video display screen and a video mirror display screen that are operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed below a threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images derived from image data captured by a rearward viewing camera and provides the rearward view video images to the video display screen. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed at or above the threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images derived from image data captured by a rearward viewing camera and provides the rearward view video images to the video mirror display screen.

A storage device for a vehicle includes a housing, a drawer which can be moved relative to the housing along a vehicle longitudinal direction between a closed state and an open state when used as intended, and a plate which is mounted by way of a bearing device attached to the drawer such that the plate can be pivoted about a pivot axis extending along a vehicle transverse direction.

A display assembly includes a storage box and a flexible display screen. A storage groove is formed in the storage box and a side of the storage groove is open. The flexible display screen is able to be switched between an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, the flexible display screen is unfolded and covers an open side of the storage groove, and in the folded state, the flexible display screen is folded or wound, and the open side of the storage groove is at least partially exposed.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base structure comprising a functional region configured to present a first form and a second form comprising a receptacle. The base structure may comprise an illuminated section at the functional region. The functional region may comprise a movable illuminated platform. The platform may move between an elevated state for a default form and a lowered state for the second form. The platform may be configured to be presented at a first or generally horizontal orientation and a second or generally tilted orientation. The illuminated section may comprise a perimeter of the functional region. The component may comprise an actuator configured to operate a mechanism for the functional region. The functional region may comprise wireless charging capability. The component may comprise at least one of a console; floor console; tunnel console; armrest; instrument panel; door; door panel.

An armrest assembly for a vehicle and method of operating includes a body with a hinge receiver coupled to the top section. An armrest member is rotationally and removably coupled to the body and is movable between first, second, and third positions A latch receiver having a locking mechanism that operably couples to a latch is defined on the top section or the armrest member. A hinge feature operably couplable to the hinge receiver is defined on the armrest member. An input device is communicatively coupled to a controller, wherein the controller is configured to actuate the locking mechanism.

A rotatable cup holder for a vehicle and a vehicle provided with the same, includes a cup holder mounting seat configured to be mounted on a vehicle body and including a first accommodation chamber recessed downward, a cup holder main body rotatably mounted in the first accommodation chamber, and a cup holder upper cover fixed to an upper portion of the cup holder main body and including a catching groove provided in an upper surface of the cup holder upper cover to mount an object in the catching groove. The rotatable cup holder is mounted in a vehicle. The rotatable cup holder for a vehicle may hold an object such as a mobile phone and be rotatable to enable the user at various positions to use the rotatable cup holder.

A vehicle theft-prevention apparatus can include a slip clutch mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a cylindrical body including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can be configured to rotate about the second portion. The locking mechanism can be configured to engage based on rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a first direction, and disengage based on a rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a second direction. The slip clutch mechanism can be configured to prevent the locking mechanism from further engaging from rotation in the first direction relative to the second portion based on a magnitude of force applied.

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.
