cs device being in an operative condition, its
ability to connect to a wireless network, compatible wireless network av\
ailability, navigation map data, and GPS satellite
signal receptions, the absence of which can limit or prevent the ability\
to reach Customer Care or receive support. AT&T

k service. Vehicles equipped with telematics
hardware compatible for use with the 2G GSM/GPRS cellular network provid\

which neither Infiniti nor Sirius XM can guarantee. Infiniti and Sirius \
XM are not responsible for associated costs that may
