Visteon and Lucent Announce Agreement to Bring Bluetooth(TM) Technology into Vehicles

    DETROIT, Oct. 16 Visteon Corporation continues
to partner with industry leaders by announcing an early adopter agreement with
Lucent Technologies Microelectronics Group that will bring the Bluetooth(TM)
wireless technology into the automotive environment.
    "We are thrilled to be working with Lucent, an industry leader in
commercial and automotive Bluetooth technology," said Jim Wynalek, vice
president and general manager of Visteon's Telematics/Multimedia business
system.  "Visteon understands that as consumers spend more time in the car,
they want to stay connected to the world around them.  The Bluetooth wireless
technology will allow consumers to stay connected -- both safely and easily --
while keeping their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel."
    Bluetooth(TM) wireless technology is a wireless communication that is
becoming an industry standard for data transfer and information sharing
between a wide array of personal electronics.  The Visteon/Lucent
collaboration will bring this revolutionary technology into the vehicle
environment by enabling wireless, hands-free interaction with products such as
beepers, cell phones, and PDAs (personal digital assistants).
    In the near future, Bluetooth technology will allow information to be to
shared with those devices located outside of the vehicle, such as those at
home or at the office.  For example, data from a home computer can be
transmitted to a car parked in the garage.  Information such as maps,
calendars, phone books and more, can be seamlessly shared between the vehicle
and other devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology in the home.
