A control system (1000) for a vehicle interior comprises a control element (100, 200) for a user to interact with. The control element comprises a conductive plastic sensing electrode (10) configured to provide one or more electrical signals and a non-conductive plastic cover material (20) provided on or over the sensing electrode. The sensing electrode is configured to be electrically connectable to a connection circuit board (400) by means of mechanical and/or frictional engagement for measuring the one or more electrical signals. 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 material on/over the sensing electrode. 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.
