Xm Radio

[Sageair]

Does anyone know if XM (satellite radio) will be offered in the 2003 Dodges as a factory option?

DC had signed a contract with Sirius, not XM - expect to see Sirius-capable OEM stereos first.

Does XM have

Any Talk Radio on - sorry I'm not interested in 100 channels of TUNES

Don't know about what DC will do, but xm is on now, Sirrus sez" July now. I believe XM ready will be available from DC for '03, but can't remember where i read it. Sirrus is the Hughs system promoted by GM.



hammersly - plenty of talk/news and other than tunes. Have had mine since October '01 and it has been one of the BEST additions I've made to my truck. Now have it in Mom's Ram too!

Stopped at Geno's Garage today, and Robin has xm in her Ram.

xm talk

Hammersly,

XM does have a few channels of talk, starting at channel 161 - 170. No Rush, but does have Sean Hannity.

There is a truckers channel (168) that has 4 different truck shows (Bill Mack, the Bozo and 2 others, can't remember 'em).

I like it so far, expensive to start with, but keeping the same channel across the nation is pretty neat.



Discovery channel is kind of neat too, but a lot of repeats on it, same with the commedy channels.
