The disclosed subject matter generally relates to an input device adapted for being installed in a vehicle for providing control of an electronic vehicle system which provides for using a visible decorative plate as a background surface of almost any material selected according to an end-user's demand. Accordingly, the inventors realized an input device with improved ability for customizing the appearance of the input device in line with end-user's demand by allowing a transparent top cover to delimit an inner volume in which a custom-made decorative plate is used as a background for instructive symbols. Since the decorative plate is arranged below the transparent top cover, the decorative plate is advantageously not reachable from outside the inner volume, but still visible through the top transparent cover. Thus, the decorative plate is well protected from direct touch and air degradation, which enables a wide range of decorative plate materials including materials that may be sensitive to touch and air contact.
