Visteon's MP3 Music System offers consumers in-vehicle MP3 functionality

Personalization is all about creating flexible vehicle systems that allow consumers to enjoy a customized driving experience that focuses on their needs. Visteon understands this concept – with in-depth research and analysis of what consumers want and need, and translating these market drivers into innovative vehicle solutions.

For example, research shows that consumers expect more than basic transportation from their vehicles. The vehicle has become a natural extension of consumers' lifestyles, with technologies that make life easier and more productive. Consumers want technologies that are easy to use, cost-effective and meet their needs for information, safety, entertainment and style, with tangible and relevant benefits.

A sampling of Visteon technologies that allow consumers to tailor their vehicle to meet their needs are as follows:

  • MACH® Voice Link - enables consumers to wirelessly operate a cellular phone, while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
  • MP3 Music System - combines a state-of-the-art compressed audio player with an in-dash AM/FM receiver and CD player offering drivers a portable, user-friendly and customizable format to enjoy their favorite music.
  • Modular Multi-Zone HVAC Unit - allows vehicle occupants individual control of heating and cooling settings within the vehicle.

Personalization also can come through packages and extras that let consumers express their personality and style, such as the various design bezels, or faceplates, on the MACH MP3 Music System.

Expertise in systems integration enables Visteon to design technologies that harmoniously work together in the vehicle. Through this approach, Visteon is able to permanently change the way consumers interact with their vehicles.
