Infiniti G37
XM Satellite Radio will now be a standard factory-installed feature on every single 2008 Infiniti model, including the G, M, FX and QX.

Infiniti is part of Nissan Motor Company, who announced a factory-installed partnership with XM back in 2005.

XM NavTraffic also will now be a standard, factory-installed feature on the 2008 Infiniti QX full size SUV. Infiniti will also expand the availability of XM NavTraffic in their 2008 model year vehicles.

The new 2008 G37 Coupe (pictured) will make XM NavTraffic available as part of its navigation service, and will obviously also feature standard XM.

I have to say that I'm loving these new standard-feature announcements. It's great to be factory-installed, but standard is the real force behind mass market adoption.

===================================================
Ryan, Both XM and Sirius MUST be factory installed as standard before WiMaxx, Broadband, Bluetooth or any other wireless comunications platform gains any inroads in cars. without factory standard installs across the board they could be dropped as fast as 8 track tapes. but as factory installs in every auto they will be as difficult to remove as Terestrial AM/FM. Could this be part of why the NAB is shaking in their shoes?
