Delphi Brings Innovation to the Real World at AAPEX 2008

Release date: November 4, 2008

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Delphi is showcasing a wide range of products and services at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) in Las Vegas, responding to technicians’ needs for increased OE-expertise, customer satisfaction and revenue.

Today, 21st century technology is rapidly transforming the automotive industry, as vehicle manufacturers race to meet consumer demands to be safe, green and connected. Delphi is focused on making new technologies relevant for our customers’ day-to-day work, offering products, tools and education in areas such as general repair, collision, alternative fuel, performance, import, service and training.

“Delphi’s long heritage of technology expertise can provide customers with innovative solutions to the real world issues of today and tomorrow,” said Francisco A. (Frank) Ordoñez, president, Delphi Product & Service Solutions. “As new high-tech electronic systems on vehicles begin rolling into service bays, Delphi will be there to prepare the aftermarket and provide technicians for collision to alternative fuel to performance and more.”

A glimpse of the future on display
Delphi is showcasing a “must see” concept cockpit system specially designed to optimize driver interaction with vehicle controls. The Delphi Information, Convenience, Protection (ICP) demonstration vehicle is ergonomically and technologically engineered to help drivers perform necessary tasks while keeping their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road. The vehicle demonstrates how these systems work in unison to provide a human machine interface cockpit and vision for the future.

Some technology on Delphi’s ICP vehicle is in production today, as Delphi engineers work to make the future a reality. As that future nears, Delphi Product & Service Solutions is focused on preparing technicians with the appropriate tools, diagnostics and training so that they can service the modern vehicle. Delphi’s ICP vehicle, coupled with demonstrations of the Delphi’s Reflash tool, DS range of products and training offerings, demonstrate Delphi’s comprehensive support capabilities for future technologies.

Technologies on the ICP vehicle’s instrument panel include:
• Reconfigurable Cluster – a 12.3” color AMLCD (active matrix liquid crystal display) that provides programmable information in front of the driver.
• Reconfigurable Head-Up Display (HUD) – a full-color HUD display with LED backlighting used in conjunction with multifunctional controls. The display allows the driver to safely view critical information projected on the windshield in their forward view without looking away from the road.
• Exogenous Safety Warning System – a system that emits a bright flash of light to bring the driver’s attention to the forward view when the potential for a collision is detected by a radar-based active safety system.
• Bi-Directional Key Fob Link – a key fob that provides a gateway for two-way vehicle communication. The fob offers new information, convenience and protection features to owners allowing communication with the vehicle using portable devices (such as a cell phone) to perform tasks such as closing windows and checking vehicle status.
• Portable Device Integration – a system that integrates portable devices such as PDAs, cell phones, etc. into the vehicle’s information architecture to provide the driver with seamless access to information.
• Multifunctional Controls – a control system that provides easy, safe access to information content. The layout is consistent with the head-up display format.
• Personalized Cockpit – a personalized system that allows information displays to be personalized based on driver demographics, desires and needs.
• Driver State Assessment – a system that is used in conjunction with the active safety systems to intelligently warn the driver of impending danger by assessing attention to the driving task and warning appropriately. This system also provides fatigue recognition and has a security application.
• Driver Face Recognition – a system that enables vehicle access and allows vehicle content to be personalized based on recognition of a specific driver.
• Interior Monitor Cameras – an interior camera system that allows the driver to monitor rear seat occupants, particularly children.
• Rear View Cameras and Display – a system where rear view cameras replace the traditional rear view mirror with a combination of near view (parking aid) and far view (normal view) cameras and a color display. The system eliminates the forward blind spot due to the traditional mirror.
• Side View Cameras and Display – a system consisting of a camera and display combinations that replace traditional side view mirrors and help eliminate the blind spot for drivers.

New parts, tools, service and training on display
Alternative Fuels – Delphi’s new flex-fuel compatible components can help provide a smooth transition from a standard gasoline engine to an ethanol blend. Delphi’s flex-fuel modules are designed to resist highly-corrosive ethanol fuels, such as E85, while allowing for increased flow capacity for ethanol. Delphi fuel injectors feature a special coating to prevent premature wear caused by ethanol. Also, Delphi’s planar oxygen sensors are validated for lifetime operation with all fuel types and additives, including ethanol.

Performance Wire Sets – With a highly-respected history and vast knowledge of original equipment wire sets, Delphi is now providing the same quality product optimized for the performance market. Delphi’s 8 mm wires provide maximum spark and energy transfer to engine spark plugs with minimal interference with electronics in the vehicle. Additionally, Delphi’s silicone-based insulation provides high heat resistance. Delphi wire sets can be found today on 22 different race teams, including Casey Mears’, Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s, Jeff Gordon’s and Jimmie Johnson’s. Delphi’s performance wire sets will be available in early 2009.

Service – Delphi is offering a new approach to its front-of-shop and back-of-shop solutions, with software diagnostics that provide added flexibility and affordability by working on the shop’s existing PC. Delphi’s DS650 and DS850 help service writers identify and sell services, while building confidence with customers and increasing customer satisfaction. Additionally, for the first time, the DS450 OBDII scan tool is now available as a stand-alone product.

Training – Delphi is launching 19 new or updated training and education courses, developed in response to the demand for OE-level training. As an OE supplier, Delphi is designing and building vehicle systems that will mature into the aftermarket, and we are focused on helping technicians learn how they work, and how to effectively test and diagnose them. The “Introduction to Hybrid Electric Vehicles” course prepares the diagnostician with information they must know before attempting maintenance or diagnostics on hybrid vehicles. It was developed in collaboration with Delphi’s OE engineers, who are developing technology for today’s vehicles, and Delphi’s aftermarket service specialists
