The invention relates to a shifting device (2) for an automatic gearbox of a motor vehicle, having a housing (4) and a selector lever (6) which is guided in the housing (4) and is provided for selecting a gear stage of the automatic gearbox, wherein the shifting device (2) has an automatic shift gate and a sequential shift gate, wherein the housing (4) has fastening means (10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) for fixing the shifting device (2) in the motor vehicle, wherein the fastening means (10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) are arranged in such a way that the housing (4) can be fixed in a first position and in a second position which is rotated by 180 degrees relative to the first position, wherein the fastening means (10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) are arranged point-symmetrically in order to rotate the shifting device (2) by 180 degrees, with the result that the respective fastening points coincide with the original fastening points after the rotation and the fastening means (10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) are fixed on in each case the same motor vehicle-side fastening points.
The invention relates to a method for controlling an electro-optical object, in particular an electrochromically tinted glass pane in a motor vehicle, wherein the transmittance of the electro-optical object is changed by applying a voltage. In order to develop a method of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that galvanic isolation of the control voltage and the vehicle electrical system voltage in a motor vehicle is ensured, the control of the electro-optical object according to the invention is performed by means of a low-voltage transformer (10) and the low-voltage transformer (10) is controlled by a digital signal, which is produced by a microcontroller (2).

DEVICE FOR REMOVABLE SECURING OF AN ACTUATING MEMBER TO AN INPUT OR OUTPUT ELEMENT
Device (1) for removably securing an actuating member to an input element or output element, such as to a gear shift lever or a transmission of a motor vehicle, having a mounting point (10) for securing the actuating member and a receptacle (20) for securing a mounting element of the input element or output element, wherein the receptacle (20) has a substantially eyelet-like outer receptacle element (30) and an inner receptacle element (40) arranged therein, between which an elastic dampening element (50) is arranged. In order to improve a mounting device and an actuating member having a mounting device of the aforementioned type such that the transmission of undesired vibrations from the transmission or the actuating member to the interior of the vehicle is reduced to a minimum and the actuating member can at the same time be secured in a technically simpler manner to the mounting device, according to the invention, the dampening element is designed as a separate component and has, on the wall (51) thereof facing the outer or inner receptacle element (30), a periodically and/or alternatingly designed profile in the form of a wave profile (52), and the mounting point (10) has a threaded insert (11) for securing the actuating member.
