LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC) has

Dockable Entertainment featuring Game Boy Advance combines the
performance and versatility of the first portable premium
in-vehicle entertainment system with a gaming platform that has
sold nearly 300 million games worldwide since its introduction in
2001. Visteon's Dockable Family Entertainment System delivers
factory-style fit and appearance, OE-grade performance and the
ability to quickly and easily undock the portable media player for
use in virtually any location. The system includes a low-profile
docking platform installed within the vehicle's headliner and
integrates with existing audio equipment. Its lightweight (2.5
pound) flip-down media player -- featuring a large, 10.2-inch
screen -- can be undocked in a matter of seconds for use at home,
on a plane, on vacation, outdoors, or in another vehicle. Dockable
Entertainment featuring Game Boy Advance enables users to enjoy any
of the more than 750 Game Boy Advance titles or watch any DVD-based
video. The new system comes complete with a unique wireless game
controller that minimizes clutter within the vehicle. The system
also allows users to compete with one another by plugging a
handheld Game Boy Advance unit into the media player's high-speed
Game Boy Advance game link cable. To ensure maximum ease of use for
players of all ages, the unit also features an easily accessible
top-load gaming slot. "Dockable Entertainment featuring Game Boy
Advance integrates two of the most popular vehicle entertainment
technologies within a single innovative, functionally elegant
system that's both affordable and adaptable to any vehicle make or
model," said Greg Gyllstrom, vice president and general manager,
Visteon Aftermarket operations. "Many consumers use the Dockable
Family Entertainment System as an effective 'backseat babysitter'
during road trips and daily commutes. The system also offers
superior versatility and true OEM-grade performance. This
next-generation system enhances the consumer experience in all
respects." Research conducted by Visteon indicates that video
gaming ranks as one of the most desirable in-car entertainment
alternatives, along with DVD movies and audio compact discs. "This
system appeals to a growing audience that spans virtually all age
categories," Gyllstrom said. "In-vehicle video and gaming can help
make any trip more enjoyable, both for the driver and passengers."
Dockable Entertainment featuring Game Boy Advance is compatible
with all existing Dockable Family Entertainment System docking
stations. Other system features include optional wireless
headphones and remote control unit, auxiliary jacks for camcorders
and other electronic devices, and additional docking stations
(without media player) for other family vehicles. In addition to
