A system for communicating with removable components may include an electronic controller and a removable component having an identifier and configured to communicate with the electronic controller. The removable component may be configured to transmit the identifier to the electronic controller via a first communication channel. The electronic controller may be configured to transmit a confirmation to the removable component after receipt of the identifier. The removable component may be configured to transmit information to the electronic controller via at least one of the first communication channel and/or a second communication channel, after receipt of the confirmation.

A holder for diverse personal articles anchored within a cup holder of a motor vehicle cabin is shown and described. The holder has a frustoconical base to be inserted into the cup holder, a multi-compartmented receptacle, and a flexible neck or connecting arm spanning the base and receptacle. The flexible neck holds its configuration once bent by hand to locate the receptacle as desired. The receptacle may have detachable pockets and a positionally and orientationally adjustable cellular phone holder.

A vehicle mounted sensor assembly includes a frame and a cover connected to the base. When assembled, the frame and the cover define a volume that is divided between a first cavity and a second cavity. A sensor is disposed in the first cavity and one or more antennas are disposed in the second cavity.

A first LED lamp bracket is provided that can be fixed to an interior portion of a front grille section that is part of an engine hood assembly of a motorized vehicle. The LED lamps are located on the LED lamp bracket such that they are clearly visible through the engine hood front grille assembly. The LED lamp bracket assembly is designed such that it takes advantage of the spacing of the grille openings such that the LED lamps are visible when the LED lamp bracket is attached to the motorized vehicle. The first LED lamp bracket can be used with a 2014 Ford F150 truck. According to further aspects of the embodiments, a second LED lamp bracket assembly is provided that includes substantially identical design features, but which is fitted to a 2015 Ford F150 truck.

A carrier element is configured to securely store a foldable wheelchair that is mountable in an ambulette or other vehicle without interfering with passenger space in the vehicle.

A sensor enclosure comprises a cover and a structure. The structure can be encased by the cover. The structure comprises a frame, a ring, and one or more anchoring posts. The frame can be configured to mount one or more sensors. The ring, disposed peripherally to the frame, can be operatively coupled to the cover. The ring can include a drainage ring plate that drains rainwater accumulated on the cover away from the sensor enclosure. The one or more anchoring posts, disposed underneath the frame and the ring, can be used to anchor the sensor enclosure to a vehicle.

An accessory mounting frame is attachable to various vehicle seat bases and allows for connection of a vehicle accessory when the vehicle seat is removed. The accessory mounting frame includes a first seat attachment projection, a second seat attachment projection, and an accessory fastener coupled to the first seat attachment projection and the second seat attachment projection. The first seat attachment projection has a first bearing surface that is configured to bear against a first portion of the vehicle seat base. The second seat attachment projection has a second bearing surface that is configured to bear against a second portion of the vehicle seat base. The first seat attachment projection and the second seat attachment projection are adjustable with respect to the accessory fastener.

An off-road vehicle utility rack apparatus. The off-road vehicle utility rack apparatus allows a spare tire to be attached to a top surface and a fuel container or other container (e.g., water, tool, suitcase, etc.) to be stored on a bottom surface of the off-road vehicle utility rack apparatus. The off-road vehicle utility rack apparatus attaches directly to integral structural components of the off-road vehicle (e.g., ATV, UTV, OHV, etc.) does not interfere with items (e.g., tool box, suitcase, etc.) stored in integral storage space on the off-road vehicle. The off-road vehicle utility rack apparatus is dynamically lifted in an up and down direction to allow easy access to the fuel container and/or the items stored in the integral storage space of the off-road vehicle.
