    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 3 Delphi Automotive Systems
will demonstrate one of the first automotive Satellite Digital Audio Receiver
Service (SDARS) receiving systems by connecting to a digital radio signal from
XM Satellite Radio.  The XM digital music signal will be broadcast to an open
air fixed and mobile application at the Consumer Electronics Show.
    "Satellite digital radio will revolutionize traditional car radio and
offer consumers added options for music and programming," said Robert
Schumacher, Delphi general director of Mobile MultiMedia.  "The AM and FM
bands will soon be joined by a clearer more distinctive digital S-Band signal
that offers many more options.  These new technologies should bring some
interesting developments in how we receive radio information and entertainment
in the car.  We are very pleased to provide the initial in-vehicle receiver
technology that is enabling this change."
    Delphi staged the demonstration in a Cadillac DeVille in cooperation with
GM.  Participants were shown the technology and heard selections from 44 of
the planned 100 stations that XM Radio will offer featuring digital-audio
quality music, news and entertainment.
    Delphi's premium radio with a 24 data character display easily handles all
16 characters required for the satellite information display.  SDARS provides
the listener with more programming information than traditional vehicle
radios.  The alphanumeric display shows the station title, song selection
title and artist name and program type.
    The remote receiver is equipped with a custom chipset designed to make the
radio satellite-capable.  Slated to be available in 2001, satellite radio is a
revolutionary new band of radio that will deliver non-stop, digital-quality
music and other programming directly via satellite to vehicles and residences.
Mobile users will be able to listen to their favorite programming options
coast-to-coast, never changing the dial because the signal is always present.
The service will cost consumers about $9.95 per month.
    Delphi received the first OEM multi-year purchase contract in November
1999 to build satellite-capable audio systems for General Motors that will
receive the XM Satellite Radio signal.  Delphi Delco Electronics Systems will
supply systems for original equipment manufacturers that receive the XM
Satellite Radio.  Delphi will also supply both XM Satellite and Sirius
Satellite Radio satellite digital radio models to other automakers.
    Delphi produces more than five million audio systems for new vehicles
every year.  Under the brand name Delco, the company provides end-to-end
product offerings for audio systems including antennas, tuners, audio
amplifiers and speakers that are custom-designed for the individual vehicle's
acoustics.
    Satellite Radio receivers are another new and innovative product in the
Delphi mobile multimedia portfolio designed to meet the consumer demand for
personalized entertainment, convenience and mobile productivity for vehicles.
