(ARA) - Whether commuting to and from work, or traveling to far away places to see friends and family, people are spending more and more time on the road these days. Our vehicles have become a home away from home, and people are responding to the trend by decking their cars and trucks out with all the latest automotive accessories. Two new products from Visteon Corporation are sure to be a hit.
Pro football fans or NASCAR (R) lovers will want this latest auto glass accessory -- a unique replacement windshield with your fan’s choice of their favorite NFL team logo, or NASCAR (R) logo, with coordinating graphics located in the shade band across the top of the windshield.
The sporty logo designs are not a decal that would peel off or fade. It’s actually fused between the interlayers of the glass, making the colorful and vibrant logo a permanent, fade-resistant part of Visteon Corporation's high-quality aftermarket glass. NASCAR (R) Performance Windshield logos are available in black and white or color; NFL teams only in color.
“When a football or motorsports fan is already decked out in his or her favorite team jersey or jacket and tailgate cooler, what better way is there to accessorize their vehicle than with a customized windshield to show their true spirit?” asks Greg Gyllstrom, vice president and general manager of Visteon Aftermarket and North American Glass.

For interior style, families will want the latest electronics product to watch their favorite DVDs. Visteon also offers an automotive grade Dockable Family Entertainment System that is seamlessly integrated into a vehicle's interior roof space. A unique feature is that it’s removable from the vehicle roof liner, so users can take it to the park, the beach or in the house to enjoy as a portable DVD player -- or simply remove at times they might feel the need for security purposes.
"We've listened to consumers and developed an in-vehicle family entertainment system that meets style, security, viewing area, and portability needs," Gyllstrom says.
The automotive grade portable DVD player weighs only 2.5 lbs, yet provides consumers with a large 10-inch viewing screen, a remote control, and infrared (wireless) headphones. The docking unit and compatible, portable DVD player are designed as a modular unit. The DVD player simply locks into the nearly flush mounted docking unit. Front seat occupants have the opportunity to listen to the radio or CD of their choice, while rear seat passengers enjoy other entertainment.
When docked, the player uses the vehicle power supply and audio system to operate and charge its own batteries. The unit can be taken anywhere and will play for approximately three hours on its batteries when fully charged. Because of the modularity of the system, owners can purchase and install docking units in separate vehicles so that the player can be easily transferred from one vehicle to another.
The system package includes accessories such as infrared headphones and a remote control. Optional equipment includes a carrying case, battery charger/AC adapter and even a bass booster for enhanced sound. Auxiliary jacks on the player accept input from other devices, such as game units or camcorders. The portability of Visteon's aftermarket system adds a measure of security and accessibility at home or on the road.
The Visteon Dockable Family Entertainment System is available through car dealers and selected independent automotive accessory distributors who also can be found at www.eVisteon.com.
