Abstract: A lighting system may be for a vehicle cup holder installed in a vehicle. The lighting system may include a first inductive member to be positioned adjacent a back side of the vehicle cup holder, and a first controller configured to inductively couple power and command signals through the first inductive member. The lighting system may also include a lighting device to be positioned adjacent a front side of the vehicle cup holder. The lighting device, in turn, may include a second inductive member configured for inductive coupling with the first inductive member, at least one light, and a second controller configured to operate the at least one light based upon power and command signals inductively coupled to the second inductive member from the first inductive member.

Abstract: An accent lighting system for a vehicle is disclosed that includes a light module and a transmitter. The light module includes a first inductive member and a diffuser that extends along a periphery of the light module so as to collect and distribute light generated by the light module. The transmitter includes a second inductive member that is configured for electromagnetic communication with the first inductive member so as to create current in the first inductive member and thereby power the light module.

Abstract: A system for engine compartment optimization includes a shared wall assembly for housing a plurality of functional components of a motor vehicle. The shared wall assembly includes a main body portion partially defining first, second and third chambers. The main body portion includes a first shared wall disposed between the first and second chambers and a second shared wall disposed between the second and third chambers. The shared wall assembly further includes an upper unit for further defining at least two of the first, second and third chambers, the cover member removable attached to the main body portion.
