I was able in the trial to just dial in any of the hundred plus, and set the presets on the 3 SAT bands.

Thanks.

I tried online and I think they still wanted the activation fee. I'll try again just to be sure.

Maybe they will waive it if I speak with a supervisor, remind them I'm a long time customer, and say "pretty please."

I do receive the satellite radio stations during the 90 days trial but I don't receive the traffic info (or I don't know how to get it into the Nav system, it does not show as available). But my main complaint is that the reception is cutting out way too often, a real pain which discouraged me to subscribe when the trial will be over. I am in Vancouver BC and am wondering if it is a local thing or an antenna/reception problem with the Prius?

If you get three, you should get all. Don't confuse SAT1, SAT2 and SAT3 for stations. Those are "screens"- each of which is capable of storing 6 (or is it 8) presets. You can change the display by toggling the "text" button on the lower left side of the screens to display the presets or the station currently being listened to. To change stations, simply use the tuner knob on the upper right of the unit. Once a station is found that you like, simply touch and hold one of those preset buttons for a few seconds (6?) and it well set that button to that preset.
