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.
