Abstract
A vehicle includes an internal cabin, and a system for wirelessly transmitting electrical signals between a first component and a second component within the internal cabin. The system includes a first circuit including a first coil secured to the first component. The first coil is electrically connected to one or both of a power source or a data source onboard the vehicle. A second circuit includes a second coil secured to the second component. The second coil is electrically connected to an electrical device secured to the second component. The first circuit is separated from the second circuit by a gap. The first coil is configured to receive one or more electrical signals from the power source and/or the data source. The electrical signals are induced in the second circuit by the first circuit and transmitted to the electrical device.
