Embodiments are disclosed for a system for coupling with at least one vehicle cable for communication with components of an infotainment system. In one example, the system includes a housing and a domain controller with hardware components enclosed within the housing. The system may further include a first connector interface arranged at a first side of the housing, the first connector interface including all connections for the domain controller.

Systems and methods for scalable cockpit controller

Embodiments are disclosed for a standardized car interface for cockpit controllers in vehicles. In one example, a system for coupling a vehicle cable for communication with components of an infotainment system, comprises: a housing, a domain controller, and a first connector interface including all connections for the domain controller. In the event that a first domain controller is exchanged for a second domain controller, a collection of user preferences may be transferred between the first domain controller to the second domain controller.

The invention relates to a control system for at least two light tubes connected to a common transformer circuit. The control system comprises a control circuit which is provided with at least two detection inlets (a, a) used for detecting lamp currents (I, I) passing through the first and second light tubes, respectively. The detected lamp currents (I, I) can be regulated to a day mode with a high current intensity, and in a night mode with a low current intensity by the control circuit. The lamp currents (I, I) can be detected individually in day mode and in a common manner in night mode. The control system reduces instability of the tubes, in particular flicker.
