Audio entertainment is available through the XM 

Satellite Radio Service when activated in the optional 
installation of the GDL 69A. The 400W and 500W series 
units serve as the display and control head for your 
remotely mounted GDL 69A. XM Satellite Radio allows 
you to enjoy a variety of radio programming over long 
distances without having to constantly search for new 
stations. Based on signals from satellites, coverage far 
exceeds land-based transmissions. When enabled, the
