A factory-installed XM system in a General Motors vehicle is truly the best way to experience XM Satellite Radio.
Installation of XM Satellite Radio direct from the factory has several advantages over dealer-installed and other "aftermarket" satellite receivers.
Integration:
A factory-installed XM Satellite Radio receiver is fully integrated into the vehicle design. This means you get a clean installation and appearance, full use of radio and steering wheel-mounted controls, and it's covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Performance:
A factory-installed XM receiver has optimal antenna placement and performance, whereas an aftermarket radio may require drilling a hole in the vehicle roof or running a wire out of a window.
Quality:
Factory-installed XM Satellite Radio receivers are connected directly to the vehicle stereo to receive pure digital sound. Many aftermarket receivers use an FM-modulator to re-broadcast the digital XM signal over a regular FM radio frequency.
Getting XM factory-installed means you don't have to worry about extra wires, hardware, mounting or installation associated with aftermarket units.
