VEHICLE INTERIOR COMPONENT HAVING AN INTEGRAL AND CONFIGURABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLY

摘要

A vehicle interior component includes a substrate having a show surface and a rear surface. The vehicle interior component also includes a control assembly having a graphic panel, a sensor assembly, and a controller. The graphic panel includes a first graphical representation of a first control and/or a second graphical representation of a second control. The controller is configured to output a first signal indicative of actuation of the first control in response to receipt of a second signal from the sensor assembly indicative of presence of an activating object proximate to the first graphical representation, and the controller is configured to receive an expansion module configured to enable the controller to output a third signal indicative of actuation of the second control in response to receipt of a fourth signal from the sensor assembly indicative of the presence of the activating object proximate to the second graphical representation.
