Oct. 19, 2005 -- 'Tis the season to get SIRIUS Satellite Radio. The premium satellite radio provider is now offering two compact and user-friendly units for holiday shoppers on a budget. For just $49.99, the SIRIUS One and XACT Visor Plug & Play units are the easiest and least expensive way for consumers to access SIRIUS content in their car this holiday season.

The SIRIUS One, at 2.8 by 4.5 inches and 0.8 inches thick, weighs just 5 ounces. The small, sleek design and reversible display allow the SIRIUS One to be placed on the visor, dash or console.
