Some serious entertainment....

Starting next month, Chrysler will offer FLO TV to their customers. It is mobile TV that plays on your entertainment system. In the past, they offered a satellite TV package that contained Nickelodeon, Disney channel, and Cartoon Network. That makes sense since kids are usually the backseat riders. However, it's nice to have options for those not so young. So, FLO TV will offer such stations as MSNBC, FOX news, MTV, etc. There are about 20 stations offered for this live mobile TV package.

The entertainment package will be available as a dealer-installed option on the following 2008-2010 model year vehicles with factory DVD entertainment systems: Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Commander, Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Journey, Dodge Nitro, Ram 1500 and Ram 2500/3500.

Audiovox Corp. supplies FLO TV™ Auto Entertainment hardware that integrates with Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge Car and Ram Truck vehicles’ existing entertainment systems and new Mopar 7-inch DVD screen systems. A small antenna, similar in size to a laptop mouse, is mounted on a vehicle’s roof to deliver the digital TV signal. Inside the vehicle, the receiver and wiring are installed under the interior trim of the vehicle and are not visible to occupants. User-friendly wired and wireless remote controls allow viewers to easily surf channels, similar to TV systems at home. Mopar’s FLO TV™ Auto Entertainment option includes a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty on new vehicles or a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on used vehicles for hardware and installation.

The service also can be added to select 2008-2010 model-year vehicles when new Mopar headrest or seat-top DVD entertainment systems are purchased. Until now, the challenge for mobile TV has been to deliver high-quality, uninterrupted coverage in urban environments and at highway speeds. Existing mobile TV systems in the United States either offer limited channels or require large satellite dishes on vehicle roofs – and a large price tag to match.

Mopar’s suggested retail price is $629, plus installation. A one-year pre-paid FLO TV service subscription is included with installation.

Also, for those that cannot listen to "plain" radio anymore......

there’s something for certified pre-owned vehicle customers to enjoy: Three months of free satellite radio.

SIRIUS XM Radio and Chrysler Group LLC said today that U.S. customers will receive an introductory three-month trial subscription to the “SIRIUS Everything” package when they purchase a SIRIUS-equipped Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge Certified Pre-owned Vehicles.

What’s in SIRIUS Everything? Just about everything, including 130 channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment and 100% commercial-free music programming plus traffic and weather information.

Chrysler Group LLC will continue to offer SIRIUS as a factory-installed feature on most new Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge vehicles sold in the United States, each with a one-year subscription of SIRIUS included.

Now you're up to date on some entertainment news...and not gossip celebrity stuff.....EVEN though it is my guilty pleasure....
