Washington (SPX) May 18, 2004 XM Satellite Radio announced Monday that Panasonic, the world-renowned electronics brand, will produce XM-ready car stereo units for the nation's trucking fleets. Panasonic will manufacture two types of XM-Ready-AM/FM truck stereos, one with a CD player (CQ-5330) and one with a cassette tape player (CQ-4330). "XM Radio is a must-have for truck drivers, and Panasonic is famous for producing high-quality, affordably-priced stereos for the trucking industry," said Dan Murphy, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing and Distribution, XM Satellite Radio. "This is ideal for both companies and the truckers who love XM." "We're very pleased to provide our customers the depth of music and talk radio programming and the outstanding sound quality that XM Satellite Radio offers," said Rob Lopez, National Marketing Manager for Panasonic car audio products. Panasonic's two XM-Ready truck stereo units will be compatible with the XM Direct tuner box. The units will be distributed by Pana Pacific Corporation, the nation's leading supplier of mobile electronics. Pana Pacific will ship the Panasonic XM-Ready units to truck dealers in July. Pricing will be announced prior to shipping. Interested trucking fleets should contact Pana Pacific or their local dealers.
