Roady is designed to appeal to a younger market segment (18-26 year olds) and features a compact design, ease of installation without professional help, ability to customize the receiver with seven different back-lit color displays and three interchangeable faceplates.

Roady also includes "Tune Select" -- built in software that alerts the listener to favorite songs playing on any XM channel. The new XM Micro Antenna, the smallest satellite radio antenna on the market today, will be included with all new XM products (including Roady) in the third quarter.

XM Radio says the fully integrated, low cost antenna with its low profile will make car installations easier and appeal to both retailers and consumers.
