On March
21 Delphi issued a press release that I
saw mentioned over at The Auto Channel. It at
first sounded like a normal press release about a new radio being released by Delphi, but reading through it an item
caught my eye. That was "It can be equipped with digital satellite radio reception from either of the two North
American satellite radio companies."
The radio is generally designed for commercial vehicles and Delphi even went to professional drivers and found what they wanted and needed. So the new radio has ergonomic controls and rugged materials for better wear. They also worked on reducing mass on the radio and thereby reducing costs of the unit. And the unit does just do Satellite radio, it has CD/MP3 player as well as AM/FM and NOAA. And it can also charge and play an iPod as well. This is a full featured unit even has an alarm clock in it.
