Sirius gets into new cars
Four 2005 Jaguar models–X-Type, X-Type Wagon, S-Type and the XJ Sedan–will have Sirius radio as a dealer-installed option, the British automaker said. In addition, the receiver will be offered as a port-installed accessory in the 2006 editions of all four models. Jaguar said it will announce pricing at a later stage.
Mercedes-Benz, which has an existing tie-up with Sirius, said the satellite radio will be a factory-installed option in its 2006 M-Class Sports Utility vehicle. The receiver will come with a six-month subscription to the service and is expected to have a manufacturers suggested retail price of $500.
