XM, the nation’s leading satellite radio company, unveiled all-new radio that provides the richest possible listening experience, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in XM’s impressive breadth of dynamic content. The XpressRC features advanced browsing capability with a real-time programming guide displaying multiple channel information, artist names and song titles. The XpressRC will redefine the music lover’s listening experience with a vibrant full-color split-screen display, 60-minute pause and replay, and the ability to save up to 10 favorite songs to listen to later.

“You don’t live in a black and white world, so why should your XM experience be limited to black and white? The XpressRC is vibrant and offers a wealth of features and functions, ensuring the richest satellite radio experience available,” said Vernon Irvin, XM Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “The debut unit promises to take music, sports and entertainment lovers by surprise, reinventing the way they receive and experience XM content. The listening experience will never be the same.”

The XpressRC features:

• A stunning customizable, color display that allows XM listeners to view
  the content they want, including channel, artist name and song title.
  The split-screen lets listeners view the current channel information on
  the left side, while browsing to view what is playing on up to three
  different channels on the right side. The split-screen allows listeners
  to easily browse to discover what XM content is playing on multiple
  favorite channels without having to change the dial.
• A buffer that saves the last 60 minutes of programming so listeners can
  easily replay what they just heard. XpressRC users can also pause the
  XM programming they are listening to with the option to play that
  programming as long as it is within the 60-minute timeframe and the
  unit is not powered off. Never miss a beat, sports play or news item
  again.
• The ability to easily save up to 10 favorite songs for future
  listening. The split-screen option enables listeners to see the artist
  and song that is currently playing on the left side of the screen, and
  view up to five other saved songs on the right side at the same time.
• Quick channel navigation with the option to pre-set up to 10 favorite
  channels, or press number buttons to enter and move directly to the
  desired channel. The new radio also features a remote control with
  pause, replay and direct channel entry buttons. The radio display
  automatically adjusts brightness from day to night while in the car and
  includes a customizable stock and sports ticker. It also includes a
  TuneSelect feature that alerts listeners whenever their favorite songs,
  artists or sports teams are being played on another channel.

The XpressRC is compact and lightweight and can move easily from the car to a second vehicle, the home and the office with additional accessories. The XpressRC includes a new FrequencyFinder feature, which conveniently scans and locates FM frequencies for listening to XM through your FM radio. Manufactured by Delphi, the new XpressRC radio will be available beginning fall 2007 for a suggested retail price of $169.99.
