Looks like XM isn't out of hot water with the FCC just yet. In a recent filing, XM Satellite Radio has stated that they obtained new FCC certifications in mid-June for modifications performed on equipement based on in-vehicle testing of three representative vehicles.
XM has recently been informed that the new equipment certifications have been dismissed (but not denied) by the FCC.
According to the filing, dismissal allows the equipment certifications to be reinstated if the equipment is deemed compliant. XM is working to finish the necessary modifications, or will conduct additional testing for XM radios to address any uncertainties in the testing results.
In the meantime, XM is working to limit interruptions in supply of certain models of XM radios to retailers.
