SIRIUS Starmate Replay fits Prius like a glove...

[SCDrJ]

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to SiriusPrius (which I will likely upgrade to eventually), as I mentioned in another thread the Starmate Replay sits VERY nicely in the "gap" in the front of the CD storage tray under the Prius radio (06 anyway, can't say for others).

Aux wire install is pending, will post an install thread soon.

Here are pics of the temporary setup, just to show the location:

I love that idea! I would have never thought of putting my Starmate there. I'll have to seriously think about moving mine once I get the car back from the wife.

Good luck! My lady already likes the car WAY too much...

She's only had it since Sunday night when she left to see her family. I'll be getting it back tomorrow. I've been stuck driving her 2001 Corolla! It's awful having the ICE run all the time!

Surprising what you get used to, isn't it? Your sig says you have the sharkfin antenna - is your Sirius antenna in there too?

I plan on putting it there once I get it. I've ordered it, but it hasn't arrived yet. I should fix my sig to reflect that.

I haven't gotten around to it but they do sell a DIN plate especially for Sirius Starmate.

That cubby hole underneath the radio is a standard DIN size where you can mount any standard DIN size equipment (another head unit or CD changer).

Very nice - you probably need to remove the "inner tray", right?

Also, check this out - $10 for just the plate:

I had mine there for about the first month of having my Starmate...and I noticed it got smoking hot..alot hotter then what it does outside of there...if you look closely, you are covering up all the top vents and about 90% of the bottom vents..I have since then taken it out...

Thanks for the post..I too bought a Sirius StarMate and thought about placing it there, but I wanted to use that slot to place keys or the remote for the starmate, so the technician at the local Sirius dealer in Houston(CarToys) mounted it directly to the left of the rearview mirror, so it is up and away from interfering in any controls in the car. When I get a chance, I will post to this website. By the way, is there any way to get better quality of the Sirius beside just having your regular FM modulator connected to it? I heard they do not make it for the Prius..
