Nissan North America Inc. selected XM Satellite Radio as the factory-installed satellite radio solution for Infiniti and Nissan vehicles beginning with the 2008 model year, the companies announced Nov. 2.

More than 500,000 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles with factory-installed XM Satellite Radio are projected to be produced for the 2008 model year, with more than 1 million projected annually by the 2010 model year.

In January 2005, Nissan chose XM to be its supplier of satellite-delivered data and telematics services, such as in-vehicle messaging and XM Navtraffic, which delivers traffic information to vehicle navigation systems.
