  SOUND ADVICE


Visteon's knowledge of automotive acoustics is key to capturing the best sound
possible for each unique vehicle -- creating a complete sound system that makes
the most of Boston's high-quality speakers.  Visteon's DSP system optimizes the
listening environment of the vehicle using sound equalization and audio delays. 
Visteon customizes this control for individual vehicles to provide the most
favorable acoustic environment.  These tools and capabilities allow the
engineers at Visteon, Boston Acoustics and Chrysler Group to truly deliver an
optimized sound experience.

Boston brings its speaker and acoustic quality to the partnership, delivering
the clear, clean, balanced sound and the smooth octave-to-octave tonal balance
and naturalness in presentation known as the "Boston Sound." Together, Visteon
and Boston provide a whole new way of enhancing the driving experience --
bringing the living room environment to the vehicle.

"It's all about collaboration, building customer relationships and understanding
the consumer -- that's what has allowed us to design and engineer an audio
system specifically for the Chrysler 300 series and its buyers," said John Kill,
vice president of Product Development, Visteon Corporation.  "The Visteon-Boston
Acoustics combination is solid proof that we are focused on quickly delivering
the systems that help people fall in love with their cars."

SOUND SYSTEM

The Chrysler 300 series is just the start.  The Chrysler Group also will be
offering the performance of the branded audio systems for the Dodge Magnum.
Visteon believes this system will offer customers and consumers a custom-fit
audio system direct from the factory designed to give drivers and passengers a
sense of "being there" as they listen to the music.
