Delphi's New SKYFi3 Receives FCC Approval

Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi announced today it has received the final necessary approvals from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorizing the sale of its latest XM satellite radio receiver, the SKYFi3, to the public. The FCC is an independent government agency charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.

"Delphi officially introduced SKYFi3 to the market last week and early demand for the product has been tremendous," said Francisco (Frank) Ordonez, president, Delphi Product & Service Solutions. "With its impressive list of features, the SKYFi3 sets the new standard for plug-and-play systems."

As the latest successor in the best-selling SKYFi family, the SKYFi3 is 65% smaller, yet maintains nearly every benefit of the previous generation product. Optimized for the vehicle, the SKYFi3 receiver comes with a car dock included. SKYFi3 also offers an optimum balance of compact size, screen readability and portability outside the vehicle.

In addition, the SKYFi3 can also store and manage up to 10 hours of XM programming through non-removable internal memory, as well as an unlimited number of MP3 files through optional and removable microSD cards. The SKYFi3 also has the largest 9 line display in its class and mounts vertically or horizontally using a low-profile car dock.

The Delphi SKYFi3 will be available for this year's holiday shopping at select retailers with an expected retail price of $229. Additionally, some retailers will be offering SKYFi3 purchasers a free SKYFi3 Live Wearable Kit (SA10252), featuring integrated headphones with built-in Antenna (a $49 value), so they can listen to live XM on-the-go.

You can also see the new SKYFi3 at this year's SEMA Show, being held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from October 31 - November 3, 2006.
