Beginning with the 2008 model year, XM will be the exclusive satellite radio provider to Infiniti, and every Infiniti model will make available XM Radio as a standard, factory-equipped feature.
"Offering three years of complimentary service to XM Radio and XM NavTraffic on the 2008 Infiniti QX56 demonstrates Infiniti's commitment to providing the best technology for everyone. QX56 buyers can now immediately begin to experience the variety of more than 170 channels of music, sports, news, talk and entertainment, along with the power of live, real time traffic data," said Steve Cook, executive vice president, automotive, XM Satellite Radio.
In support of the launch for the three-year service offer, Infiniti has developed an integrated marketing program that includes television, print, online and billboard advertising.
XM NavTraffic
Now available in 50 major U.S. markets, XM NavTraffic feeds data on incidents, such as accidents and road construction, directly to a vehicle's GPS navigation system via XM's satellite pipeline. The driver is alerted to these incidents through the navigation screen, allowing him or her to route around a jam before getting caught in traffic. Where available, the complimentary three-year subscription to XM NavTraffic provides real-time traffic information by using red, yellow and green colors codes to indicate high, medium and low congestion levels. Drivers can also set the red routes to flash on the screen to alert the driver to high congestion areas.
In addition to the QX56, XM NavTraffic is available on the 2007 Infiniti G35 sedan (and will be available on the all new 2008 G37 Coupe coming in August) as part of the Navigation package. Both also will feature XM Radio.
