poBoy, the only Visteon Mach MP3 player currently available is this one: http://www.evisteon.com/b2c/mach_mp3c.htm

It is essentially an automotive CD head unit that can play MP3 or regular (.wav) music files from a CD. It is in competition with similar units from Kenwood, Aiwa, Clarion, etc. There have been some reports that Visteon is readying a hard-disk based head unit for release "later this year". (see http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20010104S0029 )

Phatnoise claims to be selling their branded version of the automotive jukebox at their website ( http://www.orders-phatnoise.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Cod... ), but I have not seen an independant hands-on review of it yet. Also, at $599, their version is not a standalone unit; it requires the user to have (or purchase) a certain type of Kenwood head unit in order for it to function in an auto.

(You might find it interesting that Bang & Olufsen (with whom EDIG has a contractual arrangement) has been working with Visteon since 1999 on automotive sound systems.)
