Don,

I couldn't find anything on the XM site either, so I went to
www.myxmstore.com and under "What's new" I found a link labeled:
Delphi XM Radio Signal Repeater SA10116
It's priced at $169, and I can't tell you any more about it since I
don't own one.  I'd be interested to know what you think if you
decide to buy it.
