A vehicle assembly includes a panel or mounting location, a speaker or microphone disposed within the panel for generating or detecting sounds and a cover disposed over the speaker. The cover includes a plurality of openings for the transmission of sound and a corresponding plurality of blockers at each of the plurality of openings. Each of the plurality of blockers includes a front face that is spaced apart forward of a corresponding one of the plurality of openings for blocking water intrusion.

High pressure water protection speaker or microphone

A vehicle instrument panel assembly includes a front panel, a speaker disposed within the front panel for generating sounds and a cover disposed over the speaker. The cover includes a plurality of openings for the transmission of sound and a corresponding plurality of blockers at each of the plurality of openings. Each of the plurality of blockers includes a front face that is spaced apart forward of a corresponding one of the plurality of openings for blocking water intrusion.

High pressure water protection level speaker

A vehicle instrument panel assembly includes a display that generates an image indicative of a vehicle operating parameter, a first sensor disposed proximate the display that senses a position of an operator relative to the display and a controller that modifies the image responsive to the sensed position of the operator.

Instrumentation perspective and light emulator

The color generated by two differently-colored LEDs is maintained over time and different temperatures by sensing their combined output color using two phototransistors having different spectral sensitivities the output voltages of which are correlated to a desired output color. As the combined output color changes, the phototransistors' output voltages will change. The currents provided to the LEDs can thereafter be adjusted to maintain the output voltages and thus maintain the combined output color.

Specific color generation with multicolor LED for precise color backlight illumination applications

A method for reprogramming an automotive device writes a programming sequence to a transponder read/write memory, interfaces the transponder with at least one vehicle system while the at least one vehicle system is installed in a vehicle, and transfers the programming sequence to the at least one vehicle system.

Method and apparatus for reprogramming a vehicle component

A pointer with an integrated light emitting diode (LED) designed with the female side of a jack connector. A motor is designed with the male side of the jack connector, replacing the shaft of the motor. The pointer is assembled with the male side of the jack connector integrated in the motor. The pointer is designed as an in-mold, integrated LED and female side of the jack connector. LED terminals are connected to the jack connector. The motor integrates the male side of the jack connector, replacing the shaft of the motor. LED supply voltage signals (VCC,GND) reach the printed circuit board (PCB) through the jack connector by implementing new contact springs in the base of the motor. Inside the motor the shaft is connected to the contact springs with brushes.
