Starting in the 2007 model year, Volkswagen and Audi will only offer SIRIUS as the satellite radio option
available in their cars. They used to offer the choice of XM or SIRIUS to customers wanting satellite radio installed.
The deal is good through the 2012 model year. The 4th largest auto maker Volkswagen said they expect to install SIRIUS
satellite in 80% of their vehicles, which will come with three free months of service.
1. I hate to point people in the right direction without information to back it up... But I would say this deal is not as sweet as Sirius would lead you to believe. The financials of the deal are such that Sirius most likely won't make any money off of this agreement. That said, it is most likely the reason XM decided against it.
I know... vague... but maybe someone can do some homework and dispel this myth of success.
