Method for producing a component assembly for a motor vehicle, component assembly for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle having the component assembly

A method for manufacturing a component assembly for a motor vehicle, wherein the component assembly comprises a base body for an instrument panel of the motor vehicle and at least one functional component, the method comprising:

• molding the at least one functional component to the base body during the manufacture of the component assembly;
• and
• producing the component assembly using a gas external pressure process,
• wherein in the production of the component assembly, the at least one functional component is at least sectionally cooled with CO2 spot cooling, which is applied by a molding tool for manufacturing the component assembly.

A component assembly for a motor vehicle, the component assembly comprising:

• a base body for an instrument panel of the motor vehicle, the base body having a planar region that is arranged on a rear side of the base body facing away from a visible side of the base body;
• and
• at least one functional component,
• wherein the base body is produced as an integral injection-molded part together with the at least one functional component using an external gas pressure process, the at least one functional component molded to the planar region of the base body with external gas pressure applied to the planar region of the base body around the at least one functional component.
