XM SATELLITE RADIO INTEGRATION

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. offers an integrated in-vehicle XM® Satellite Radio solution with the XM Mini-Tuner. The XM Mini-Tuner is a portable subscription that can be used in the car. When connected to any Alpine 2008 head unit, XM Satellite Radio can be accessed with on-screen channel and song tag information.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:

The XM Mini-Tuner is a tiny cartridge that contains the XM chipset, making it possible for subscribers to take their XM subscription from one XM compatible device to another
The XM Mini-Tuner retains the same functionality from home to car as provided by a fixed, installed XM tuner
The Mini-Tuner's small and lightweight design makes it convenient to carry and transfer from one car to another
Users can access XM's line up of more than 170 digital channels of choice including commercial-free music, premier sports, news, talk radio, comedy, children's entertainment programming, traffic and weather information
