Friends: 0 |  Satellite Sirius or XM Antenna Question Assuming the existing antenna of the Prius (Gen 3) is compatible for either Sirius or XM does anyone know or has installed a plug and play (ie: Starmate) unit and utilized the existing Prius antenna? I prefer using the existing antenna and not to have to deal with the magnetic type and running the wires through. If anyone knows where to locate the lead point of the antenna wire, and if theres a need for special adapters, from the OEM wire to the plug and play source unit. I have a Sirius subscription and have the Prius II (Gen 3). Thanks in Advance. |

The only thing is I could not locate the end of the "existing" satellite antenna and had to use the magnetic roof top mount one instead. Please let me know also if anyone has info this. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Satellite Sirius or XM Antenna Question I *believe* that the XM and Sirius antennae are not interchangable; different satellite technology. On my P-III, I think the XM receiver is located under the driver's seat; you might look there to see if you can locate the antenna lead on your P-II. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Satellite Sirius or XM Antenna Question The connector is under the center console / armrest. It is a five minute job to access it. Unfortunately, it is a special square connector that does not match the usual round connector on a Sirius radio. I bought a Shark Fin Adapter cable For Lexus GS from MyRadioStore which works perfectly. Square connector on one end and the usual round one on the other. But it costs $60. There may be a cheaper alternative but I couldn't find one. My Sirius radio works fine using this cable and the OEM antenna. |
