6637 Nissan North America has selected 6638 Sirius XM Radio as the exclusive provider of a comprehensive suite of premium telematics services for Nissan branded vehicles.

According to Trisha Jung, Director, Nissan Connected Services, the aim is to provide more than just innovations in driving performance, fuel efficiency and safety.  "Being the first car company to launch these telematics services allows us to further enhance the whole customer driving experience by providing the finest audio entertainment and data services that meet the growing expectations of the connected driver. After working with SiriusXM for more than a decade, we are excited about bringing world-class telematics services to our customers," she says.

Several of SiriusXM's offerings are firsts for Nissan, including 24/7 emergency support for accidents, stolen vehicle tracking and roadside assistance. Customers will also enjoy the simplicity of a consolidated bill for their audio entertainment and a central site to manage subscriptions.

"Offering telematics services is a logical next step for SiriusXM, building on our advanced in-vehicle technological capabilities, subscriber management expertise, and proven experience providing national service to drivers," said Mel Karmazin, Chief Executive Officer, SiriusXM.

For the future, SiriusXM says it has the ability to combine satellite and cellular networks to expand coverage beyond traditional cellular-based telematics services, which would also create the potential for personalised services and next-generation audio offerings that could unlock the company’s catalogue of entertainment assets.
