If XM is not a GM company, then why are XM radios only offered in every company vehicle GM owns.
No other car manufacture that I know of offers XM in their vehicles.
There are many manufacturers that make XM receivers besides Delphi -- Pioneer, Audiovox, Smasung, Polk Audio, to name a few. Delphi was just the first manufacturer to offer them.
Also, Delphi supplies automotive technology to just about everyone, not just GM. Chances are if it has two, three, or four wheels and an engine it has some OEM'ed Delphi components in it.
Just like OnStar, XM just happens to be a third-party option that GM Offers with their cars. Honda, Nissan, Lexus, Porsche, Scion, VW, Suzuki, Audi all offer XM radios as options. Heck, you can even get XM on your Harley-Davidson!
Next time do your homework -- and lighten up on GM. They treat their customers better than Chrysler does.
