VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon
Corporation (NYSE:VC) recently earned recognition for technology
that provides a convenient way to make sure batteries for mobile
phones, MP3 players or PDAs are always charged and ready to go. The
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) named Visteon an
International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovations 2007
Design and Engineering Awards honoree. (Logo:

was announced earlier this month at an international media preview
for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Visteon will
demonstrate the technology at CES, Jan. 8-11, 2007, in Las Vegas.
This in-vehicle technology eliminates the need to have dedicated
power cords for each portable device in the vehicle. The user
simply places the device on Visteon's wireless charger, and power
is transferred by electromagnetic induction from the charging
surface to the user's portable device at a rate comparable to a
plug-in power cord. "Any driver or passenger who uses an electronic
device, such as a mobile phone or MP3 player, would benefit from
the convenience of this innovation," said Steve Meszaros, vice
president, Visteon electronics product group. "Based on consumer
studies that Visteon conducted in several countries, people are
willing to invest in the convenience of not having to deal with
charging cords in a vehicle." The wireless charger contains
intelligence that can determine if an object is in close proximity
to the charger, and whether the object can be charged. In addition
to being featured at Visteon's exhibit, the new wireless charging
technology will be displayed by the CEA during the January
electronics show at the Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase
and at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Booth #68747. Visit
