XM Satellite Radio Introduces XMCommander Receiver

XM Satellite Radio has introduced the XMCommander, a new satellite radio receiver that works with any AM/FM car stereo. Aftermarket satellite-radio-antenna manufacturer Terk Technologies will distribute XMCommander to retailers. The product features a compact controller with display screen, a thin XM Micro Antenna, a remote control, and a hide-away tuner box. The XMCommander works with all AM/FM car stereos regardless of make, brand, or year. The controller is sized to integrate with the dashboard of most vehicles. The product ships to retailers by the end of this month and will list for $159.99.
XMCommander offers the new XM feature TuneSelect, which alerts listeners when a favorite song is playing on any XM channel. The unit allows the listener to preview channels before selecting. It has a two-line display, direct-channel entry and 30 channel pre-sets, and scan-and-jump features. It also has RCA line outputs for optional direct connect.
