Visteon's advocacy for open architectures goes beyond technology demonstrations as it is actively involved in industry groups including GENIVI® -- an alliance committed to driving the adoption of an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) open-source development platform; Car 2 Car Communication Consortium - which promotes worldwide harmonization of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications; and the Wireless Power Consortium - whose mission is to establish a global standard for wirelessly charging electronic products.

"Visteon is engaged in several organizations that accelerate an open architecture strategy," said Martin T. Thall, president, Visteon Electronics. "Not only do we contribute to the latest industry advancements, but we've also actively formed productive affiliations with other business leaders to deliver greater value to our customers."

Strategic collaborations are becoming essential as the ecosystem of consumer and automotive electronics merge. Visteon recently established working relationships with other industry experts that utilize an open strategy:

    --  OpenSynergy: A specialist in embedded automotive systems - OpenSynergy
        has developed COQOS, a standards-based solution that integrates open

        consumers with mobile device features they've come to expect in their
        vehicles.
    --  Rightware: Visteon has teamed with this leader in embedded user
        interface software and benchmarking tools to deliver outstanding
