Abstract: An imager assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. The assembly comprises an optic lens comprising a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and a longitudinal axis extending there between. An imager circuit is in conductive connection with an imager connector. The imager connector is configured to communicatively connect the imager circuit to the vehicle. A lens holder of a conductive material forms a shielded cavity configured to receive the proximal end portion of the optic lens and the imager circuit. The lens holder is configured to align the imager with the longitudinal axis of the optic lens.

Abstract: An imager assembly is disclosed. The imager assembly may have a camera sensor, a circuit board, an electrical contact assembly, and/or a lens assembly. The camera sensor may be operable to generate an image upon exposure to light. The electrical contact assembly may be electrically connected to the circuit board and operable to receive power therefrom. Additionally, the electrical contact assembly may comprise first and second spring contacts. The lens assembly may comprise a lens operable to gather and focus light onto the camera sensor. Further, the lens assembly may comprise a heating element. The heating element may be operable to heat the lens. Further, the heating element may comprise third and fourth contacts, where the third and fourth contacts may engage the first and second contacts, respectively. The engagement may be operable to transmit power.

Abstract: A remote garage door opener module for after-market assembly into a vehicle for transmitting signals to a garage door opener includes a bezel positionable against a headliner of the vehicle along an interior surface thereof in a position over a hole in the headliner. The module further includes a housing enclosing a power source and electronic circuitry for transmitting the signals. The housing extends away from a first side of the bezel and is positionable at least partially through the hole in the headliner. The module further includes a button exposed at a second side of the bezel and coupled to the electronic circuitry and a mounting element selectively engageable with the headliner adjacent the hole and coupled with one of the housing or the bezel for coupling the module with the headliner.

Abstract: A roof mounted module for a vehicle includes a base plate configured to be operably coupled with a vehicle roof. An outer housing operably coupled with the base plate. An inner housing proximate the outer housing, including an imager sealing portion defining a sealing plane. The inner housing defines an inner cavity. An imager module is disposed in the cavity and is in communication with a viewing aperture defined through the outer housing. An imager mounting feature is disposed between the imager module and the inner housing. The imager mounting feature applies a force acting in a direction normal to the sealing plane.
