XM Satellite Radio unmasked their new XpressRC, the first-ever satellite radio featuring full-color split-screen display, 60-minute replay and song storage. The plug-and-play XpressRC features advanced browsing capability with a real-time programming guide displaying multiple channel information, artist names and song titles. The XpressRC will redefine the music lover’s listening experience with a vibrant full-color split-screen display, 60-minute pause and replay, and the ability to save up to 10 favorite songs to listen to later.

Manufactured by Delphi, the new XpressRC radio will be available beginning fall 2007 for a suggested retail price of $169.99.

Notable features include the following:

A customizable color display that allows XM listeners to view the content they want, including channel, artist name and song title. The split-screen lets listeners view the current channel information on the left side, while browsing to view what is playing on up to three different channels on the right side.

A buffer that saves the last 60 minutes of programming so listeners can easily replay what they just heard.  XpressRC users can also pause the XM programming they are listening to with the option to play that programming as long as it is within the 60-minute timeframe and the unit is not powered off.

The ability to easily save up to 10 favorite songs for future listening.  The split-screen option enables listeners to see the artist and song that is currently playing on the left side of the screen, and view up to five other saved songs on the right side at the same time.

Quick channel navigation with up to 10 pre-set favorite channels, or press number buttons to enter and move directly to the desired channel.  The XpressRC also features a remote control with pause, replay and direct channel entry buttons. The radio display automatically adjusts brightness from day to night while in the car and includes a customizable stock and sports ticker.  It also includes a TuneSelect feature that alerts listeners whenever their favorite songs, artists or sports teams are being played on another channel.
