Abstract: A remote rearview mirror system for actuating a vehicle head restraint includes a transmitting module and receiving module that operate at a distance. The transmitting module is included in a rear view mirror. These modules require a matching that need to be preserved until the components are installed in a vehicle. The steps of such matching include the incorporation of the transmitting module into a mirror-transmitting module combination that is associated with its respective receiving module.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a device for balancing a flow of electrical energy from a vehicle to an external power source is provided. The device comprises a balance circuit being configured to receive an input current signal from the power source and to transmit an output current signal to the external power source for charging a element in a vehicle. A differential resistance causes the input current signal and the output current signal to be different. A current measuring device is configured to generate an output differential signal indicating a difference between the input and output current signals. A current generating device is configured to generate a compensated current signal in response to the output differential signal and to adjust the output current signal with the compensated current signal such that the input and output current signals are generally similar to one another.
