Acura Shipping First XM-Equipped 2004 Models

The Acura 2004 3.5RL shipping to dealerships now is the first Acura model to include an XM Satellite Radio as standard equipment.
“We look forward to American Honda equipping a wide variety of Acura and Honda models with XM throughout 2003 and beyond,” stated XM President/CEO Hugh Panero.
According to American Honda Motor Co., Inc., the introduction of the XM-equipped 2004 Acura RL will be followed by the 2004 Acura TL this fall.
For Honda products, a dealer-installed option will be available later this spring on the 2003 Accord and Pilot. Honda also expects to have XM Satellite Radio factory-installed beginning with the 2004 Accord later this year. American Honda plans to expand the availability of XM-ready radios to additional Honda and Acura models during the 2005 model year.
