Visteon unveils integrated in-dash entertainment/GPS navigation system

New Visteon Navigation Radio System combines radio head unit, CD/DVD player, iPod command and control, hands-free phone capability, and more

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2008 - An innovative automotive radio head unit featuring fully integrated GPS
navigation, multimedia disc player, iPod player command and control, and other premium functionality was introduced by Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC) today during the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show.

The powerful, original equipment-quality Visteon Navigation Radio System, available this spring
through automotive dealerships and leading mobile electronics retailers, dramatically expands on the functionality and convenience of OE in-dash radio head units. The new Visteon system combines
dozens of advanced capabilities within a single unit that fits precisely in place of the vehicle's factory radio.

"This powerful new system delivers easy driver command and control of virtually all audio, navigation and phone operations through a single interface," said Mark Boyle, director of sales and marketing, Visteon Aftermarket. "Consumers can now enjoy leading-edge functionality and premium sound with the added value of Visteon's OE-style integration, quality and reliability."

Standard features of the Navigation Radio System include:
• Convenient GPS navigation via high-resolution 7-inch color TFT-LCD touch-screen mapping
and video monitor (System includes GPS antenna and NavTeq map database with more than
10 million points of interest)
• Multimedia disk player for CDs and DVDs
• iPod command and control
• Bluetooth hands-free phone operation and streaming audio
• Premium AM/FM tuner
• Compatible with steering wheel controls
• Satellite Radio and HD RadioTM capable
• Includes USB port, SD Card and RCA jacks for audio/video inputs
• Integrated 4x45-watt peak power amplifier and 5.1 channel surround-sound pre-amp outputs
• Rear backup camera video input

Visteon's integrated GPS navigation system provides an intuitive graphic interface combined with
touch-screen controls and voice guidance. The 480x800-resolution digital LCD display ensures precise map detail as well as exceptional picture quality. (A system lockout feature limits video use to periods when the vehicle is parked.)

Each Visteon Navigation Radio System button's backlights can be customized to the dashboard control colors for a true "factory" appearance.

The Visteon Navigation Radio System can be seen in the company's 2008 International CES exhibit,
North Hall #6027. Additional information is available at www.evisteon.com, through leading vehicle
dealership accessory departments, and by contacting your nearest Visteon mobile electronics supplier.
