Gulf States Toyota announced July 2 that it plans to offer XM Satellite Radio as a dealer-installed option on all vehicles sold at its 141 dealerships from July 17.
Gulf States says it is one of two independent Toyota distributors with exclusive rights to distribute vehicles in the five-state region of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
According to XM, their programming lineup features 100 coast-to-coast digital channels including 71 music channels, many commercial-free, and 29 channels of sports, talk, children's programs and entertainment.
General Motors in November rolled out factory-installed Delphi-Delco XM radios in Cadillac Deville and Seville models and says it will expand to a total of 25 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models this year.
Isuzu dealers now offer XM radios to buyers of their Axiom and Rodeo models and they will be optional this coming autumn on six Infiniti and Nissan 2003 models as well as future Audi and Volkswagen models, according to the companies.
