Abstract
A method for manufacturing a vehicle interior component includes depositing an expanding foam within an internal cavity of a mold. The internal cavity is shaped to form the vehicle interior component. The method also includes placing a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag in a desired position and/or orientation on a surface of the expanding foam such that the expanding foam bonds to the RFID tag as the expanding foam cures.
