Abstract: A method and apparatus for a lighting assembly for a vehicle can include a housing assembly and a set of adaptors. Vehicles today are often limited to specific wiring harnesses or connection types based upon manufacturer. Each adaptor of the set of adaptors can include a different connection type. The adaptors are interchangeably connectable to the housing assembly in order to vary the connection type based upon the specific wiring harness or connection type of the particular vehicle.

Abstract: An control system for use in a vehicle includes at least one functional unit adapted to be mounted in the vehicle, each functional unit having an alert device, connector and a remote controller configured to control a desired state of the respective alert device, and a central controller configured to sense a state of the vehicle and generate a desired state of the functional units based at least partially on the sensed state of the vehicle a functional connection between the central controller and the at least one functional unit.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes, among other things, one or more functional warning units positioned in various positions in a vehicle. A central controller is configured to generate a desired state of the functional warning units and encode the desired state into a packet. Each of multiple remote controllers is functionally connected to at least one of the functional warning units. A functional connection between the central controller and the multiple remote controllers is configured to transmit the encoded packet from the central controller to each of the remote controllers. The remote controllers are configured to parse the desired state of each of the functional warning units in the encoded packet and set the state of each of the functional warning units based on the parsed encoded packet.

Abstract: An emergency vehicle control system with functional warning units for use in an emergency vehicle provide active visual and audible alerts. The functional warning unit includes a set of alert devices, each alert device having at least one functional connection and a remote controller, connected to the set of alert devices and configured to receive an encoded message on a single data line from a central controller. The remote controller is configured to decode the encoded message to a set of desired states for each of the set of alert devices. The remote controller is configured to control the set of alert devices, by way of the at least one functional connection, according to the respective desired state of each of the set of alert devices.
