Abstract: A device and a system for a motor vehicle configured for locking and/or unlocking an object. The device includes a lock, a communication unit configured to send and receive radio signals, and a control unit. The device is operable via radio communication with the motor vehicle's central locking system and can be coupled to the motor vehicle in a manner allowing substantial freedom in selecting its position relative to the motor vehicle. The system further enables objects, such as bicycles or other items, to be secured to the motor vehicle without requiring separate access devices.

Abstract: A motor vehicle display device is provided with information on vehicle operating states which can be displayed in an analog and/or digital manner by display elements, wherein in the direction of viewing of the motor vehicle display device, the display elements are disposed at least in two superimposed planes or plane regions. At least one first plane or one first plane region is provided, in which at least one active display element is disposed, and at least one further plane or one further plane region is provided, which is positioned before the first plane or the first plane region in a viewing direction, wherein only passive display elements are disposed therein, with at least one passive display element being disposed there. In this way the motor vehicle display device is given an appearance with a special 3D effect.
