Interior trim article for a motor vehicle

A vehicle control device comprising a display module with a display on a front face of the display module, a touch-sensitive layer, and a transparent cover attached to the front face of the display module where a front face of the transparent cover has a tactile feedback area. A haptic feedback unit is configured to provide an active haptic feedback by moving or deforming the transparent cover. A control unit is configured to display a graphical user interface on the display to receive a user input via the touch-sensitive layer and to trigger a vehicle function in response to the user input.

Vehicle control device and manufacturing method thereof

An interior component of a vehicle comprises a carrier having a front face directed toward a passenger compartment of the vehicle and an opposite rear face; a speaker including an at least partially transparent diaphragm and a transducer coupled to the diaphragm. Movement of the transducer causes vibration of the diaphragm to generate sound by vibration of the diaphragm, the diaphragm having a front face directed towards the passenger compartment and an opposite rear face. The carrier provides a support along at least part of the periphery of the diaphragm where the diaphragm is attached to the carrier where the front face and the rear face of the diaphragm are free of the carrier across a part of the diaphragm surface so that the diaphragm is suspended in the carrier of the interior component.
