The all new 2009 Acura RL - which was also unveiled today at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show - will be offering XM NavWeather as a part of its AcuraLink service.
Acura is XM's first automotive partner to debut the XM NavWeather service.
The real-time, personalized weather tracking service is delivered directly through the Acura RL's in-dash nav system, and uses XM's "Threat Matrix" technology which provides alerts on weather threats (like hail, floods, tornado and storm warnings).
XM NavWeather also provides multi-day forecasts based on weather monitoring stations across the U.S
