Nissan To Factory-Install XM

Nissan North America has expanded its relationship with XM Satellite Radio to factory-install the satcaster’s receivers in its Inifniti and Nissan vehicles, beginning with the 2008 model year.

More than 500,000 of the company’s cars are projected to offer XM radios, with more than one million projected annually by the 2010 model year.

In January 2005, Nissan chose XM to supply satellite-delivered data and telematics services, such as in-vehicle messaging and XM NavTraffic, which delivers current traffic information to vehicle navigation systems.

Nissan already offers XM as an option on a number of its models, including the Nissan Sentra, Altima, Maxima, Quest, 350Z Coupe, Murano, Armada, Pathfinder, Frontier, Xterra, and Titan, as well as the Infiniti FX45, G35, M45, Q45, and QX56.
