             BOSTON ACOUSTICS(R) BRINGS LEGENDARY BOSTON SOUND(TM)
                    TO UPCOMING CHRYSLER GROUP VEHICLE LINES

               Premier Audio Systems Manufacturer Announces First
                             Automotive OEM Program

PEABODY, MASS., JUNE 18, 2002--Boston Acoustics, Inc. (NASDAQ: BOSA), today
announced its entry into the automotive OEM arena through a partnership with
Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC) to provide Chrysler Group with new, premium audio
systems for upcoming vehicle lines. This announcement marks a major milestone in
Boston Acoustics' 23-year history.

According to the 2001 AutoPacific Brand Study, 94 percent of new car buyers
consider the audio system an important feature when making a vehicle purchase.
This new premium audio system will combine Boston Acoustics' high-quality,
high-performance speakers and acoustical expertise with Visteon's electronics
and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. The combination of expertise
will deliver clear, clean balanced sound and the smooth octave-to-octave tonal
balance, known as the legendary "Boston Sound."

"Chrysler Group's selection of a signature Boston Acoustics audio system
underscores our commitment to high-performance and quality," said Michael Chass,
vice president, automotive and multimedia OEM, for Boston Acoustics. "The audio
system Boston Acoustics and Visteon develop for Chrysler Group will deliver the
superior performance and listening pleasure that Boston Acoustics' reputation is
built upon."

The premium audio system comes on the heels of a multi-year joint development
agreement between Boston Acoustics and Visteon Corporation signed last October
to deliver high performance audio systems as a factory-installed option for
selected automakers. Boston Acoustics' goal is to deliver Boston-branded audio
systems to OEMs in the automotive industry, made possible through the
partnership with Visteon.



Regarding the relationship and the business it represents, Andy Kotsatos,
chairman and co-founder of Boston Acoustics, said: "We are extremely pleased
with Chrysler Group's selection. This demonstrates that our continuing mission
of providing both great sound and excellent value has been recognized at the
highest levels in the automotive manufacturer world. Soon, thousands of new car
purchasers will learn what millions of satisfied Boston Acoustics home,
multimedia, and car stereo speaker owners already know. The Boston Sound is
second to none."

Although there are no minimum purchase requirements, estimated revenue based on
the new business is expected to have a material impact for several years
beginning in Boston Acoustics 2005 Fiscal Year. Terms of the agreement were not
disclosed.
