XM is the exclusive satellite radio partner of GM, which offers more than 50 vehicle models that feature the radio system. In model year 2006, nearly 90% of GM’s US retail models will offer factory-installed XM as either an option or as standard equipment.
GM was the world’s first automaker to offer satellite radio and claims to remain the industry leader in offering the factory-installed feature.
GM began offering XM Satellite Radio in select Cadillac models in November 2001, the same month that XM launched its service nationwide.
The service also carries TV audio and on Thursday morning was being used by the Fox television news service to ask car drivers to report on traffic conditions following the mandatory evacuations of Galveston and parts of Houston, Texas, as Hurricane Rita approached.
