Delphi Supplies First Factory-Installed XM Radio Receivers on Cadillac Models Delphi Will Supply Satellite Receivers for Additional GM Models in 2003 biz.yahoo.com TROY, Mich., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi Automotive Systems (NYSE: DPH) announced that it is the first OEM manufacturer to install satellite-capable radios for an original equipment customer. Delphi satellite based receivers for XM Satellite Radio service are an option on General Motors 2002 Cadillac models this year and will be available on more than 20 additional GM models next year. Delphi Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) systems are offered as options on the Cadillac Seville DTS and DHS and Deville models this year.

Owens, president, Delphi Delco Electronics Systems. ``Our early development of satellite radio technology and work with content providers for this new market is paying off. With Americans collectively spending close to 500 million hours per week in their vehicles, we believe many consumers will see the value and the benefits of satellite radio.'' Delphi received the first OEM multi-year purchase contract to build receivers for General Motors two years ago. The systems for GM include building a separate receiver box in addition to the radio to receive the satellite signal. The remote receiver box makes the radio capable of receiving the proprietary XM Satellite Radio signal through a custom chipset. XM Radio delivers 100 channels of digital-quality music and other programming non-stop from coast-to-coast. Mobile users are charged $9.99 a month for the service and will be able to listen to their favorite programming no matter where they are in the continental U.S. without changing stations.* Delphi produces more than five million audio systems for new vehicles every year. Under the brand name Delco, the company provides end-to-end product offerings for audio systems including antennas, tuners, audio amplifiers, and speakers that are custom-designed for individual vehicle acoustics. Delphi's premium radios with 24-data character LCD display provide information for the satellite content display. Satellite Digital Audio Receiver Systems provide the listener with more programming than traditional vehicles. The alphanumeric display shows the station title, song title, artist name and program type.
