SIRIUSAuburn Hills, MI - When Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep® customers arrive at their local dealerships to select their new 2003 and 2004 vehicles, they will also have the option to tune into a new listening experience as SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) is now available at all Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep dealerships across the continental U.S. The Chrysler Group is offering SIRIUS Satellite Radio as both a dealer and factory-installed feature.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio will be available on 16 different 2003 model year vehicles as a Mopar dealer-installed offering:

Dodge: Stratus Sedan, Dakota, Durango, Ram, Intrepid, Neon, Caravan, Grand Caravan;

The suggested retail price will be $299 plus installation, and a SIRIUS Satellite Radio subscription is $12.95 per month. An activation fee of $15 will be waived for customers selecting the Mopar dealer-installed option.

"Just as Mopar offers the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep customer accessories to match their vehicle and lifestyle, SIRIUS Satellite Radio offers that same appeal to a wide range of our customers through its expansive programming," said Christine Cortez, senior vice president - Global Parts and Service Operations.

Beginning in this month, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and a one-year subscription will be offered as standard equipment on the 2003 Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser Series 2.

However, customers ordering factory-installation of SIRIUS satellite radio on their vehicles will receive two months of service provided by SIRIUS and no activation fee upon initiating a subscription.
