Claim:
1. An apparatus for transmitting electrical signals to and/or from a rotatable component of a motor vehicle, comprising: a positionally fixed stator installed in a positionally fixed manner in the motor vehicle; a rotor which is rotatably mounted on the stator and which is coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to the rotatable component of the motor vehicle, wherein the stator has a housing in which a flat cable for transmitting the electrical signals is arranged, wherein a connecting piece which is electrically coupled to the flat cable and is connected to a corresponding mating piece of the rotatable component is arranged on the rotor, wherein the rotor has a viewing window through which it is possible for a viewer looking from outside the housing to identify a reference element of the flat cable in a neutral position of the rotor with respect to the stator, and wherein the viewing window is arranged in the region of the connecting piece, so that the viewing window is covered by the mating piece in a state in which the connecting piece is connected to the mating piece.
