Investments in and Advances to Affiliates, Schedule of Investments [Text Block] | Non-Consolidated Affiliates Non-Consolidated Affiliate Transaction s During the first quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of its 50% interest in an equity method investment for proceeds of $7 million, consistent with its carrying value. Additionally, the Company sold a cost method investment for proceeds of approximately $3 million and recorded a pretax loss of $1 million, classified as "other income, net." During the second quarter of 2017, the Company sold a cost method investment for proceeds of approximately $3 million. The Company recorded a pretax gain of $3 million classified as "other income, net." Variable Interest Entities The Company determines whether joint ventures in which it has invested are Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) at the start of each new venture and when a reconsideration event has occurred. An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Visteon and Yangfeng Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. ("YF") each own 50% of a joint venture under the name of Yanfeng Visteon Investment Co., Ltd. ("YFVIC"). In October 2014, YFVIC completed the purchase of YF’s 49% direct ownership in Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd ("YFVE") a consolidated joint venture of the Company. The purchase by YFVIC was financed through a shareholder loan from YF and external borrowings which were guaranteed by Visteon, of which $12 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2018. The guarantee contains standard non-payment provisions to cover the borrowers in event of non-payment of principal, accrued interest, and other fees, and the loan is expected to be fully paid by September 2019. The Company determined that YFVIC is a VIE. The Company holds a variable interest in YFVIC primarily related to its ownership interests and subordinated financial support. The Company and YF each own 50% of YFVIC and neither entity has the power to control the operations of YFVIC; therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of YFVIC and does not consolidate the joint venture. A summary of the Company's investments in YFVIC is provided below.
