will help 2001 Cadillac owners "think outside the box" with a new Infotainment
PC radio system offering, company officials announced today.
    Delphi's Communiport(R) brand communication system, to be offered as an
option on the Cadillac 2001 Seville and DeVille models, will allow the
vehicle's occupants to travel outside the ordinary by bringing a wide range of
new information, connectivity and navigation services into the vehicle.
    "We are delighted to provide the Communiport system for the new Cadillac
Seville and DeVille," said Jeffrey J. Owens, general director of engineering
for Delphi Delco Electronics Systems.  "The Infotainment system brings a new
flow of information age technologies into vehicles to form a confluence of
added features and benefits for consumers."
    Continuing to set industry standards in utilizing innovation to
distinguish its vehicles from other luxury cars, Cadillac selected the
Communiport Infotainment PC radio that offers a full map turn-by-turn
navigation system, e-mail, Internet access, voice memo and integrated
hands-free telephone and address book.  Infotainment PC is powered by the
Microsoft Windows CE(R) operating system.
    "The influence of new information and services in vehicles is driving a
new wave of revolutionary technologies that is reinventing consumer's
experience in commuting in motor vehicles," Owens said.  "The interest in
these products by manufacturers is very high."
    The Communiport system is commanded by voice recognition and features
text-to-speech technologies to read messages or e-mails.  In addition, the
