Visteon Innovations Help 'Make Driving What It Should Be' DEARBORN,
Mich., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Every consumer and
automaker has a different definition of what driving should be.
Visteon Corporation applies its experience, innovation and consumer
research to deliver what the consumer expects with distinctive
features for each make and model. (Logo:

challenge is to understand the automakers' design intent and brand
image for each vehicle and to deliver innovative technology
quickly. Visteon is uniquely positioned to deliver innovations fast
and flexibly in terms of features, functions and manufacturing
processes. Visteon's role in the 2005 models shown at the North
American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, appeals to
three of the five human senses: sight, sound and touch. The senses
are reached through products from branded audio systems, to
instrument panels, driver information centers and exterior
lighting. The sense of sound - through innovation When it comes to
automotive audio systems, Visteon is an innovator and a global
leader. Visteon announced a partnership with Boston Acoustics in
2002. This year, Visteon and Boston Acoustics are pleased to
announce this unique audio system will be available on the Chrysler
300 and the Dodge Magnum in North America later in 2004. Visteon
applied automotive and audio expertise in designing the all-new
Boston Acoustics premium audio system. This audio system was
specifically engineered to bring Boston's home sound into these new
vehicles. Visteon's audio innovations lead the way in finding new
ways to deliver technology to automakers and consumers more
quickly. While the auto industry wrestled with the issue of
interoperability for satellite radio, Visteon developed the
capability of providing a single radio that works with both XM and
SIRIUS Satellite radio. Today, Visteon supplies SIRIUS Satellite
radio system to Ford Motor Co. and others and will also provide
both XM and SIRIUS Satellite receivers to Nissan Motor Co. for
future products. In addition, this year Visteon will reach a new
level of distinction, being the first and only supplier of an
integrated, factory-installed voice- activated Bluetooth(R)
wireless system in automotive production on both sides of the
ocean. Today, Visteon supplies the Bluetooth Wireless Interface
Module in Europe for the BMW 3 and 5 Series. In 2004 BMW will offer
this capability in North America on the X3 and X5. Sense of sight
and touch - through style Style, inside and out, is what draws a
consumer to a vehicle. The new Mustang's modern interior features
Visteon's symmetrical instrument panel to deliver the precision and
craftsmanship the consumer demands. The door panels and inserts
help accent the vehicle's interior. The all-new Corvette delivers
improved visibility with Visteon's HID Projector headlamps. These
unique lights provide power and precision advantages that are
certain to impress drivers of this classic performance vehicle. As
its name implies, HID provides a very high intensity light produced
from an electric arc inside a capsule filled with xenon gas. The
arc produces significantly more light than a glowing filament found
in halogen lighting. Sight, sound and touch are the senses that
help consumers define what driving should be, and Visteon continues
to deliver the innovations that make a difference for each
customer. Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier
that delivers consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive
manufacturers worldwide and through multiple channels within the
global automotive aftermarket. Visteon has about 75,000 employees
and a global delivery system of more than 180 technical,
manufacturing, sales and service facilities located in 25
countries. http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20001201/DEF008LOGO
