A seatback entertainment display system for a vehicle is provided having a support member extending from a seatback frame, and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the support member, and a display device coupled to the adjustment mechanism. The support member may be a cantilever type beam or frame extending upwardly from the seatback at a position behind and adjacent to a headrest. The support member may also be a pair of rods arranged to fixedly receive the display device and movably receive the headrest. The adjustment device may include any one or more of a forward-rearward tilting mechanism, a side to side pivoting mechanism and an up-down translation mechanism. The seatback entertainment display system is adaptable to optimize a viewing angle for a rear seat occupant of the vehicle, throughout a normal adjustment range of the seat.

Seatback entertainment display system

A seating and console system for use in a seating row and configurable between a seating configuration and a console configuration. The system comprises a seat including a seat base and a seat back, and a console mounted to an opposite side of the seat back. The seat back rotates between a first position to provide the seating configuration and a second position to provide the console configuration that divides the seating row.

Configurable seating and console system

An overhead rail system for a vehicle interior includes an elongated rail configured to extend at least partially along a headliner panel within the vehicle interior. A longitudinal opening extends at least partially along a length of the rail. An article has a housing and a movable panel. The movable panel is configured to provide access to an object. A holder is coupled to the article and has a catch configured to coact with the opening in the rail, so that the article is mountable to the rail proximate the headliner panel for use by occupants within the vehicle interior.

Modular system for a vehicle

A module is disclosed for storing articles in an overhead system of a vehicle. The module includes a housing to engage an elongated member positioned on an interior overhead portion of the vehicle, a closure panel coupled to the housing to provide access to a storage area within the housing, and a first pattern of connection points adapted to interface with a corresponding second pattern of connection points on a sub-module. A method of providing a sub-module for use with a module in an overhead system for a vehicle is also disclosed and includes positioning the sub-module within a storage area of the module, aligning a first pattern of connection points on the module with a second pattern of connection points on the sub-module, and coupling the sub-module to the module.
