zcarmob Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Today when I got into my car to go home from work, the sun was shining thru the passenger window and onto the radio display. I noticed that to the right of the cd disc display (where it tells you that your have discs in the cd changer). It says "[SAT]". Maybe the display is setup up for satellite radio?

centerpunch Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 The vaccuum fluorescent displays used on car radios often have extra unused icons for possible future models, because tooling for those parts is expensive. Hopefully that option will come out sooner rather than later. However, I must say that an iPod with 3000+ songs is even better than XM to me. It's your own personal radio station, with NO songs you hate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HEF- Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 i thought that i read satellite will be available in next years model? i know for certain that i read that EVERY major car manufacturer is signed up with either xm or sirius. so really, it is just a matter of time.

Mindflayer Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 It will be frustrating for we 2005 owners if in a year, they come out with a SAT/NAV/AUX-capable system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like having Cable or SAT TV, and then going back to standard broadcast... -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
