Vehicle interior component

A vehicle interior component comprising:

• a track;
• a console configured to move along the track;
• a drive mechanism configured to move the console along the track between a forward position and a rearward position;
• and
• a retaining mechanism configured to retain position of the console relative to the track;
• wherein the console is configured for (a) an engaged state with position retained relative to the track and (b) a disengaged state with position movable relative to the track;
• wherein the retaining mechanism is configured to provide (a) the engaged state for the console and (b) the disengaged state for the console;
• wherein the drive mechanism comprises a motor and at least one cable;
• wherein the drive mechanism comprises a pulley;
• wherein the pulley is configured to engage the at least one cable.
