2005 Volkswagen Jetta will have Sirius Satellite Radio factory-installed
We just got word that Volkswagen will offer Sirius Satellite Radio as a factory-installed option on the new 2005 Volkswagen Jetta beginning this month.
SIRIUS is already available as a factory installed option on the 2005 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, and will also be available as a factory installed option on the new 2006 Passat later this year.
Volkswagen is known for their exceptional interior build quality (for a nice low price), and VW is no doubt working to reinforce this status with having Sirius Satellite Radio factory-installed on the new Jetta. Whether you like the exterior styling or not (I for one, like it, but others don't seem too fond of it), it's definitely cool to have satrad available on a car that bills itself as an affordable German-engineer vehicle.

VW lists both XM and Sirius as an option on the new Jetta.

Thank Jonathan... I'm going to write a post about this right now. I'm a little pissed about it.
