driving experience VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/
-- More than 15 Nissan and Infiniti models will carry Visteon
Corporation (NYSE:VC) infotainment systems -- delivering
personalization with satellite radio and Mach(R) Voice Link. (Logo:

satellite radio system, now offered by Nissan and Infiniti, gives
customers a choice in satellite service providers. The system --
designed by Visteon -- is a first for an original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) application, allowing the driver to choose
between XM or SIRIUS satellite radio service. Given two
subscription options, consumers can identify their preference of
satellite radio service provider at the point of purchase. The
Visteon system can be found on the Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier,
Maxima, Pathfinder, Quest, Titan and Xterra; and the Infiniti G35,
M45 and QX56 vehicles in North America. Additional vehicles to
offer satellite radio by 2006 include the 350Z, Murano, Sentra,
FX45 and Q45. "Visteon's consumer research shows that consumers
want to personalize their vehicles and have a choice of satellite
radio service," said Albert Faraj, director of Visteon's Nissan
customer business group. "They also want the freedom to choose
their own cell phone provider." Also available on various Nissan
and Infiniti models is Visteon's MACH Voice Link system, a
Bluetooth(R) wireless interface that enables communication between
portable electronic devices -- such as mobile phones -- and the
vehicle. The Visteon system creates an in-vehicle environment that
delivers hands-free, voice-activated access to cell phones,
allowing drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the
road. Consumers can use the cell phone service provider of their
choice, given their phone is enabled with Bluetooth capability. The
hands-free Bluetooth solution is available on the Maxima, G35 and
QX56 in North America. In 2006, it also will be offered on the FX45
and Q45. "These are important launches for Visteon," said Faraj.
"They represent an opportunity to build on a relationship with one
of our fastest-growing customers." Visteon Corporation is a leading
global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures
innovative climate, interior, electronic and lighting products for
