Aptiv PLC

$300,000,000 4.350% Senior Notes due 2029
$350,000,000 5.400% Senior Notes due 2049

We are offering $300,000,000 of our 4.350% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") and $350,000,000 of our 5.400% Senior Notes due 2049 (the "2049 Notes"
and, together with the 2029 Notes, the "Notes"). The 2029 Notes will mature on March 15, 2029 and the 2049 Notes will mature on March 15, 2049. We will pay
interest on the 2029 Notes semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2019. We will pay interest on the 2049
Notes semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2019. Interest on the Notes will accrue from March 14, 2019.
We may, at our option, redeem all or part of the Notes of either series at any time at the redemption prices described herein. In addition, we may, at our option, redeem
all, but not a part, of the Notes of either series at any time in the event of certain developments affecting taxation as described herein. If we experience a change of
control triggering event (as described herein), we must offer to repurchase the Notes.
The obligations under the Notes will initially be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries that are obligors under Aptiv Corporation's
outstanding notes and our credit facility. The Notes and the guarantees will be general unsecured obligations of us and the guarantors, respectively, and will rank
equally in right of payment with all of our and their existing and future senior indebtedness. The Notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any of our
and the guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The Notes will be structurally subordinated
to all liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not issue or guarantee the Notes.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this
prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Investing in the Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement.
We intend to apply to list the Notes of each series on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). We expect trading in the Notes of each series on the NYSE to
begin within 30 days after the original issue date. If such a listing is obtained, we will have no obligation to maintain such listing, and we may delist the Notes of either
series at any time. There is currently no established trading market for the Notes of either series.

We have not authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or in any free
writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the
reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not

prospectus is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates.

Notices Under Jersey Law
The directors of the Issuer have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the facts stated in this document are true and accurate in all material respects,
and that there are no other facts the omission of which would make misleading any statement in the document, whether of facts or of opinion. All of the
directors accept responsibility accordingly.
A copy of this document has been delivered to the registrar of companies in Jersey (the "Jersey Registrar") in accordance with Article 5 of the

If you are in any doubt about the contents of this document you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other
financial adviser. It should be remembered that the price of securities and the income from them can go down as well as up.

In this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, "Aptiv," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Aptiv PLC, a
public limited company formed under the laws of Jersey on May 19, 2011. References to the "Issuer" refer to Aptiv PLC, as the issuer of the Notes, and not
to any of its subsidiaries.
On March 31, 2016, we completed the final step of our strategy to divest our former Thermal Systems business through the sale of our ownership
interest in the Shanghai Delphi Automotive Air Conditioning ("SDAAC") joint venture for net cash proceeds of $62 million. Previously, on June 30, 2015
we completed the sale of the Company's wholly owned Thermal Systems business to MAHLE GmbH ("MAHLE") for net cash

S-i
Table of Contents
proceeds of approximately $660 million, and on September 24, 2015 we completed the sale of our interest in the Korea Delphi Automotive Systems
Corporation ("KDAC") joint venture to a separate buyer for net cash proceeds of $70 million. The SDAAC and KDAC joint ventures were previously
reported within the Thermal Systems segment. Proceeds from the sale were used to fund growth initiatives, including acquisitions, as well as share
repurchases.
On December 4, 2017, the Company completed the separation (the "Separation") of its former Powertrain Systems segment by distributing to Aptiv
shareholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Delphi Technologies PLC, a public limited company formed to hold the
spun-off business. To effect the Separation, the Company distributed to its shareholders one ordinary share of Delphi Technologies PLC for every three
Aptiv ordinary shares outstanding as of November 22, 2017, the record date for the distribution. Following the Separation, the remaining company changed
its name to Aptiv PLC and New York Stock Exchange symbol to "APTV."
As the disposal of both the Powertrain Systems and Thermal Systems businesses represented strategic shifts that will have a major effect on the
Company's operations and financial results, the assets and liabilities, operating results, and operating and investing cash flows for the previously reported
Powertrain Systems and Thermal Systems segments are presented as discontinued operations separate from the Company's continuing operations for all
periods presented.

assessing the Company's ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved
comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's core
operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes Adjusted Operating Income in
its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and forecasting purposes.
Management also utilizes Adjusted Operating Income as the key performance measure of segment income or loss and for planning and

forecasting purposes to allocate resources to our segments, as management also believes this measure is most reflective of the operational
profitability or loss of our operating segments. Adjusted Operating Income should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Aptiv, which is the most directly
comparable financial measure to Adjusted Operating Income that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Income, as determined
and measured by Aptiv, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to operating income includes restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which
includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and
product acquisitions and divestitures), asset impairments, gains (losses) on business divestitures and deferred compensation related to
acquisitions. The reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to net income attributable to the Company is as follows:

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the Notes involves risks. You should carefully consider all the information set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein before deciding to invest in the Notes. In particular, we urge you to carefully
consider the risk factors set forth below as well as those under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018 incorporated by reference herein.
Risks Related to the Notes
Our debt exposes us to certain risks.
As of December 31, 2018, after giving effect to this offering and the redemption of the 2020 Notes, our total indebtedness would have been
$4,339 million. Our indebtedness could have important consequences, including:

· making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes;

· increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions;

· requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the

availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts, and other general corporate
purposes;

· increasing our vulnerability to, and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industry in which we

operate;

· exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as borrowings under our credit agreement are subject to variable rates of interest;

· placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

· limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.
Despite the level of our indebtedness, we may still incur significantly more indebtedness. This could further increase the risks associated with our
indebtedness.
Despite our current level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness, including secured
indebtedness, in the future. For example, we had no drawings and $2.0 billion of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of
December 31, 2018. Additionally, the Notes offered hereby contain no restrictive covenants on our ability to incur more debt. If new indebtedness is added
to our and our subsidiaries' current debt levels, the related risks that we and they face would be increased, and we may not be able to meet all our debt
obligations, including repayment of the Notes, in whole or in part.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to service our debt.
Our ability to make payments on, and to refinance, our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts
will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future and our ability to borrow under our credit agreement to the extent of available borrowings. This, to
a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If economic
conditions worsen, we could experience decreased revenues from our operations and could fail to generate sufficient cash to fund our liquidity needs or
fail to satisfy the restrictive covenants and borrowing limitations which we are subject to under certain of our indebtedness.
Based on our current and expected level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under our
credit agreement will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs. We
