An apparatus is provided with an enclosure defining an inner volume and including a first aperture, and a housing containing the enclosure and including a second aperture. The enclosure may be rotatable such that the first and second apertures may be in registration to permit insertion of the electronic device, and the first and second apertures may not be in registration to prevent insertion and/or removal of the electronic device. An actuating element may rotate the enclosure into a desired orientation within a vehicle. The apparatus may improve the viewing quality of information displayed on the electronic device. The electronic device may be secured within the vehicle without having to supervise the device when the vehicle is parked, turned off, etc. The apparatus may employ environmental controls to control/condition temperature, humidity, and/or vibration within a desired range to protect the electronic device from becoming temporarily or permanently non-functional.

A climate control system is provided with a control vent unit that a driver may adjust for a desired direction of airflow. After the driver does so, a control system automatically and/or simultaneously adjusts the position of the remaining vents so as to direct respective air flow to substantially the same location in the vehicle. Preferably, a similar control vent is provided on the passenger side of the vehicle. Should a passenger adjust the passenger control vent unit, the control system will automatically and/or simultaneously adjust the remaining vents on the passenger side to direct the respective air flow to the selected position in the passenger side of the vehicle.

An ambient lighting display is obtained directly on a portion of an interior panel. The portion of the panel is covered with a paint or ink which reacts to ultraviolet light by emitting visible light of a predetermined color. To obtain a lighting display, a portion of the panel is illuminated with ultraviolet light of an appropriate wavelength to cause the paint or ink to fluoresce with the predetermined color.

A method is provided for forming a generally opaque panel with integral translucent areas. An opaque first liquid material is introduced onto the surface of a translucent film provided in a molding tool, and the first material, when cured, bonds to an area on the surface of the film. A translucent second liquid material is then introduced onto the translucent film in a second area, other than the one area. The surface of the translucent film to which the liquid materials have been introduced then becomes the interior surface of the panel. The resulting panel has a translucent front layer and, on its rear surface, an opaque material and a translucent material are formed into difference sections on a single layer.
