    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4 Delphi Automotive Systems
announces the commercial availability of its Communiport(R) Rear-Seat
Entertainment System, to be featured at the 2001 International Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
    The portable system shown at CES will be sold to automotive manufacturers,
their respective dealers, and will be offered to the general public via an
online ordering system on the company's internet site at
http://www.delphiauto.com/communiport in early February 2001.  The retail price for
the Communiport(R) Rear Seat Entertainment System is $1495.00 and orders will
be shipped in February.  Other versions of the system will be marketed to
wholesale and retail customers through other distribution channels in the near
future, with details to be announced at a later date.
    Delphi's Communiport(R) Rear-Seat Entertainment System fits on top of a
rear bench seat to offer the ultimate flexibility and portability for DVD-
based entertainment applications.
    "The Communiport Rear-Seat Entertainment System allows families to add a
new dimension to their travel experience," said Robert W. Schumacher, Delphi's
general director of Mobile MultiMedia.  Rear seat passengers, especially
children, are kept occupied, happy and content."
    The Communiport Rear-Seat Entertainment System allows rear-seat passengers
to play Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) movies or plug-in game platforms.  The
Delphi system supplies AC line power for games via an integrated 120-volt
inverter with an easy access power cord.
    The system is designed for easy installation and removal and is so
versatile that it fits almost any car or truck with a rear seat regardless of
size.  The unit will be available in either graphite or beige color.  The
entertainment system can be installed in seconds by securing the console unit
with the seat belt for the rear middle seat position and plugging the power
cable into the lighter power source.  A 7-inch diagonal color display flips up
from the console to show movies or games.
    The 21- by 14- by 10-inch high console also provides storage space to keep
headphones, game cartridges, DVDs and other accessories.  The audio/video
control panel is designed to prevent damage and contains recessed headphone
jacks, volume controls and game inputs.  The DVD player accommodates DVD
videos as well as standard music CDs.
    The entertainment system is compatible with a variety of video game
stations and uses standard audio and video inputs to the A/V control board.
The DVD player also offers front slot loading for convenience.
    Delphi also plans to market a flip-down visor screen version of the system
to broaden its rear-seat entertainment system line-up.
    The Communiport(R) Rear-Seat Entertainment System is one of the new
innovative products in the Delphi portfolio that addresses consumer demand for
personalized entertainment, convenience and mobile productivity for their
vehicles.
