Satellite Radio System

Visteon's Satellite Radio System features an innovative head unit that can accept the decoded signals of either XM or SIRIUS satellite radio transmissions – thus avoiding the need for two different head units for the two services. Given two subscription options, consumers can identify their preference of satellite radio service providers at the point of purchase. Installation of the required components can be done at the factory or in the dealership.

This system is designed for integration with current automotive audio systems, utilizing existing space for the head unit and one package location for the satellite receiver module. In addition, Visteon is well positioned to provide the consumers with the next generation satellite data service features like dynamic traffic to integrate with navigation or audio systems.

Benefits

• Provides a single-design head unit making it easier and more cost-effective for vehicle manufacturers to allow consumers to choose their satellite radio service provider without increased radio complexity.
• Requires a small, external antenna to receive satellite and ground-based network digital signals.
• Provides the ability to display the channel name and number, artist and song title through its enhanced radio display capability.
• Uses current radio pre-sets to store your favorite channels for quick access and requires no additional displays with the enhanced Human Machine Interface (HMI) capabilities.
