Satellite radio--An item in Monday’s Business section incorrectly stated that Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler may use radios from XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. in their 2004 models. The companies have an agreement to use radios from Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.
New York-based Sirius and Washington-based XM Satellite each provide 100 digital radio stations to customers for a monthly fee, the companies said.
In January, General Motors Corp. said it would offer XM services on 23 car and truck models for 2003.
Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler may use XM’s product in their cars for the 2004 model year, XM said.
