Most new CD/MP3 players have options to have satellite radio available through them.
Despite the claims of the radio starting at 1988, Satellite radio started at 1987, with the United States Army fiddling around with the radio.

Yes, you can install an aftermarket sat. radio on any car that did not come with it. See your local radio/electronic store.
The reason that so few cars have cassette players in them is because technology has evolved and music is rarely produced on cassette anymore. Instead, most cars come equipped with a combination of a CD player, satellite radio, and/or input for mp3 player
The options for car radio antennas include internal car antennas, external car antennas, power antennas, and satellite antennas. The internal antenna is the least effective and most cars come with either the external fixed antenna or the power antenna unless their is a satellite radio in the car and then it is a satellite antenna.

XM is the brand name of a satellite radio provider. Their competitor in the market is Sirius Radio. Both provide a wide variety of audio stations beamed from a satellite. This means they are available anywhere in North America, so you can listen to the same station all across the US. Cost for the service is about $10 a month. New GM cars and vehicles are all equipped with XM radio and most come with a free 90 day subscribtion with a new car. Other auto makers also have satellite radios. You can obtain hand held and MP3 capable players as well.
Both companies have options to include local radio stations, without charging extra. However, it depends on where you live and whether they have agreements in place with regular radio stations, to carry their signal.
