There are 3 meanings
1: The radio (Either dash (most likly) or HOuse (If Separate)(least likely) is in fact a Sat Radio cabaple receiver with antenna and everything you need save for Dollars per month subscription, some come with that for a short time..
NOTE: this is rear
2: Dash (normally) radio has a special port usually on the rear where you can pulg in an expensive Sat Receiver which will use the Radio's front display and controls to display station, track playing, and tune and such. (most common meaning)
3: 2+they put in an antenna for you as well
For example. the Pioneer radio in my Dash can use a Pioneer Sat Receiver, a special multi-disc CD changer,, an AUX-IN adapter and a few other things.. I think Pioneer even made a mini-disc changer (Which I'd love to have) that plugged in. Thus, since there is a hole on the back of the radio it might well be advertised as "Sat Prepped" or "Sat Ready" (Ready for a Sat radio to be plugged in)
The term is thus basically meaningless in today's market as nearly all but the very lowest of the low dash radios have such a port.
