We look forward to providing XM’s great content for many years to come," said John Mendel, senior vice president, automobile operations of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

XM Satellite Radio is available as a factory-installed feature on 2007 Honda models including the Civic, Civic Hybrid, CR-V, Ridgeline, Accord, Accord Hybrid, Pilot, Odyssey and Element.
