Control system for vehicle interior

A control system for a vehicle interior, comprising:

• a control element for a user to interact with, the control element comprising:
• a conductive plastic sensing electrode configured to provide one or more electrical signals;
• and
• a non-conductive plastic cover material provided on or over the sensing electrode;
• wherein the conductive plastic sensing electrode is configured to be electrically connectable to a connection circuit board by means of mechanical and/or frictional engagement for measuring the one or more electrical signals,
• wherein the one or more electrical signals are provided in response to a change in capacitance caused by contact and/or movement of a conductive object and/or a pressure or force applied on/to the non-conductive plastic cover material on or over the sensing electrode, and
• wherein the control system is connectable to an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle for controlling one or more user controllable vehicle functions in response to the user interaction with the control element.
