TORONTO, Jan. 22, 2016 /CNW/ - SiriusXM Canada (TSX: XSR), the country's leading audio entertainment company, today announced the introduction of the new SiriusXM Commander Touch, its latest aftermarket satellite radio that lets listeners enjoy SiriusXM through the in-dash audio system of their vehicles.

"SiriusXM Commander Touch offers drivers the ability to enjoy SiriusXM in their vehicle without replacing the factory-installed radio," said Paul Cunningham, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, SiriusXM Canada. "The new radio gives everyone in the car access to over 130 channels of music and exclusive content while integrating seamlessly into the vehicle."

The easy to operate SiriusXM Commander Touch is designed to deliver the best SiriusXM listening experience to customers, including commercial-free music; plus, premier sports talk and live events; comedy; news; and exclusive talk and entertainment.

The Commander Touch includes everything needed for a professional installation. The compact touchscreen colour display can mount safely just about anywhere in the vehicle for the driver's convenience, and the hideaway tuner can be installed behind the vehicle's dashboard with concealed wiring. For a more custom look, a professional installer can use the included flush mounting kit to integrate into the vehicle's dash.

SiriusXM Commander Touch was selected as a CES Innovation Honoree reflecting its innovative design and engineering and offers listeners an impressive list of features and capabilities, including:


-- Compact touchscreen controller is only 4.1"W x 1.7" H x 0.5" D and
mounts directly to the vehicle dash. The tuner module hides discreetly
behind the dash for a fully-integrated look.
-- Enjoy SiriusXM through the vehicle's factory radio via FM or AUX audio
input.
-- Replay(TM) allows listeners to pause, rewind and replay up to 60 minutes
of live satellite radio, in addition to buffering all 18 of the
listener's preset channels with 30 minutes of content.
-- Use TuneMix(TM) to hear a mix of songs from your favourite channels.
-- Automatically start songs from the beginning on your favourite channels
with TuneStart(TM).
-- Album art and channel logos displayed on the compact colour screen
provide listeners with quick information at a glance.
-- Innovative Delayed Off mode automatically pauses while drivers make
short stops up to 30 minutes, so when they stop and get coffee or refuel
their vehicle they will pick up right where they left off.
