I was given Sirius free (for nine months)

Longo Toyota is giving us Sirius Radio free for nine months. Are other dealers doing this? We absolutely love our new Prius!

I got the same deal from Westbury Toyota, Long Island New York. 9 months of Sirius free, they said it was compliments of the dealer. The satellite radio works great, but when you go under an overpass it conks out...

Did they also install a unit/antenna for you? Is it integrated in the MFD?

Sirius works through the MFD, just like FM Radio. You can preset stations, and there is a text button that displays the song and the artist. It's neat! I guess it works through the roof antenna; no additional antenna was required.

That's pretty cool! Are doing the same thing with XM or just Sirius? I ordered my Prius thru Longo also, but really want to get XM integrated with my radio/MFD. Hubby has XM in his Accord and I've really taken to it over the last 2 years...love listening to NHL games and some specific favorite channels.

I'm afraid it's just Sirius! BUT, It's free. Hope your Prius is home soon!

I'm not sure. They are installing it this Saturday. (1/10)

"I guess it works through the roof antenna; no additional antenna was required."

I doubt it uses the same antenna. They may have placed it under the dash? The Sirius antenna from Toyota is huge and you wouldn't miss it if you looked.

Wow, this is cool. Has anyone else gotten this deal? I'm expecting mine in the next week at Stevinson West near Denver.

I've looked on the Toyota website many times and didn't notice Toyota offering a OEM Sirius solution for the Prius. The sales guy I bought the car from didn't think there was one either. Can anyone point me to more info on this? (link?)

Thanks...
