Delphi, a pioneer of in-vehicle entertainment and electronics, and XM, America's leading satellite radio service, teamed to offer the SKYFi radio receiver, an attractive, compact unit that provides the most advanced user features of any satellite radio on the market today.

The SKYFi Audio System, a self-contained "boom box," provides the flexibility to take XM anywhere. Along with the SKYFi receiver it retails for just $229.99 (MSRP). The System contains a pair of high-quality speakers with an integrated high gain antenna and a port for the SKYFi receiver. It can be powered by an A/C adaptor to create a high quality countertop/ bookshelf XM system for the home or office, or used with six "D" batteries to experience XM in virtually any location. XM listeners who already own the SKYFi receiver can purchase the boom box portion alone for $99.99 (MSRP).

The SKYFi receiver, an affordable next-generation XM radio offers all the features XM fans have been demanding most: portability, a large display, direct channel entry, the ability to preview and search XM channels by artists and song titles, and 20 channel presets. The compact receiver, along with vehicle and home accessory kits, arrived at major retail outlets in October. Delphi continues to expand its consumer electronics technologies, offering a broad portfolio of products to answer a wide variety of information and entertainment needs.
