    Wow that is nice and much less expensive than DICE. Have you used it? How hard was it to install?

    This is what I have in my Impala, and it works great. I picked it up at Best Buy back in May for 149.99. They have kits specific for each car brand. It was easy to install in the Impala, I had to remove the factory head unit from the dash, make the connections, put the unit back in the dash and plug the iPod in to the wire I fed down through the bottom of the dash. I love it and couldn't imaging keeping a binder of Cd's in the backseat again.

    Here is a clip from the link posted regarding Toyota compatibility:

    Toyota/Lexus/Scion:
    Overall Toyota/Lexus/Scion compatibility notes:

    Radio must be equipped with a button labeled "AM/SAT" on the face of the radio to be compatible​

    Not compatible in Lexus vehicles equipped with a factory navigation style radio with factory satellite installed. The satellite receiver will have to be disconnected at the satellite tuner location in order for the PXAMG to work correctly​

    Radios with a diversity antenna will need to make a small modification to the OEM radios main power harness in order for the HD tuner to work correctly. Please refer to included tech brief with inside the PGHTY1 harness packaging. Diversity antenna systems are identifiable by having two antenna connections to the OEM radio.​

    Not compatible in Scion vehicles with the OEM option Pioneer radios with OEL display​

    Vehicle specific Toyota/Lexus/Scion compatibility notes:
    Not compatible in the Toyota Prius with factory satellite installed. The satellite receiver will have to be disconnected at the satellite tuner location in order for the PXAMG to work correctly.

    Not compatible in the 2009 Corolla with radios that have an "XM" logo printed on the face of the radio. These radios have an internal satellite tuner and are not compatible; All other radios without the logo and have an AM/SAT button are compatible.​

    also worth noting is that for extra money you can connect hd radio into the ipod dock

    Do all Prius models have a SAT port? I have a package 2, and supposedly only the package 3 and higher have satellite radio capability. I don't pick up my Prius until Monday but I don't think package 2 models have a SAT button either...

    I was also wondering if anyone's tried this . . . I checked out the packaging at my local BB and under the vehicle compatibility lists for Toyota, the Prius isn't listed. I find that kind of odd because just about all the other cars in Toyota's fleet is listed and is there something different with the prius radio? i'm thinking about trying this out for two reasons .. . my vais aic-100 can't charge my iphone 3G and it'd be cool to try out hd radio. Has anyone tried this with their prius and if so does it work with the iphone 3G?

    when i went to their website, they stated that the prius was compatible if it had a sat port. i am still wondering how it shows up on the mfd.
    hd radio requires an optional add on, the web site stated that it was not included

    The HD add-on is another $100 on top of the $169 for the ipod unit.
