Visteon Leads With First Dockable Family Entertainment System
LIVONIA, Mich., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation
(NYSE:VC) is leading the industry in offering an automotive grade
Dockable Family Entertainment System(TM) that is seamlessly
integrated into the vehicle's interior roof space. (Logo:

listened to customers and consumers and developed an in-vehicle
family entertainment system that meets style, security, viewing
area, and portability needs," said Greg Gyllstrom, Visteon
Corporation vice president and general manager of North American
and Asian Aftermarket Operations. "Delivering the products
consumers want helps our customers meet their business objectives,"
he said. Visteon's unique solution is a Digital Versatile Disc
(DVD) player that blends into a vehicle's interior and can move
easily from in-vehicle use to laptop or in-home use. The automotive
grade portable DVD player weighs only 2.5lbs, gives consumers a
large 10-inch viewing screen, remote control, and infrared
headphones. The docking unit and compatible, portable DVD player
are designed as a modular unit. The DVD player simply locks into
the nearly flush mounted docking unit. Front seat occupants have
the opportunity to listen to the radio or CD of their choice, while
rear seat passengers enjoy other entertainment. When docked, the
player uses the vehicle power supply and audio system to operate
and charge its own batteries. The unit can be taken anywhere and
will play for approximately three hours on its batteries when fully
charged. Because of the modularity of the system, owners can
purchase and install docking units in separate vehicles so that the
player can be easily transferred from one vehicle to another. The
system package includes accessories such as infrared headphones and
a remote control. Optional equipment includes a carrying case,
battery charger/AC adapter and even a bass booster for enhanced
sound. The portability of Visteon's aftermarket system adds a
measure of security and accessibility at home or on the road.
Visteon's Dockable Family Entertainment System is a low profile,
clamshell, laptop-type configuration that plays DVDs, CDs, and CDs
containing MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files. Auxiliary jacks
on the player accept input from other devices, such as game units
or camcorders. The Visteon Dockable Family Entertainment System is
available through car dealers and selected independent automotive
accessory distributors. 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 72,000 employees and a global delivery system of more
than 200 technical, manufacturing, sales and service facilities
located in 25 countries.
