of law-enforcement technologies ready to be integrated as part of Visteon's

"We are pleased to have Motorola on board in the delivery of the TACNET
product," said Greg Gyllstrom, Visteon's vice president and general manager,
aftermarket and North American glass.  "This agreement with Motorola marks the
addition of a key player in law enforcement radio systems."

Motorola is now part of a growing group of the law enforcement industry's
leading technology suppliers working with TACNET.  The Motorola agreement for
the SB9600 Radio protocol allows Visteon to continue to expand TACNET's radio
compatibility.  TACNET is also compatible with several emergency lighting,
video, radar and mobile data computing products.  Visteon applied its
engineering and vehicle systems expertise to provide an integrated solution
delivering interoperability, reduced clutter and improved officer safety and
efficiency.

In working with the leading law enforcement industry suppliers, Visteon can
offer a system that works with the equipment a police agency is already using. 
For example, the TACNET system is compatible with a variety of lightbars and
radios that are used by police agencies today.  Furthermore, this relationship
helps ensure that as technology evolves, Visteon will be well positioned to
make TACNET compatible with tomorrow's in-vehicle law enforcement equipment.

In addition to working with leading law enforcement suppliers, Visteon
collaborated with several police agencies including California Highway Patrol,
Michigan State Police, Maryland State Police and Boston Police Department --
all of which provided valuable officer field test feedback.

Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers
consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and
through multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket.  Visteon
has about 72,000 employees and a global delivery system of more than 200
