    Hi Everyone,

    I’m coming from a 2012 Gen 3 to a 2015 Prius v. I had the issues with satellite radio and successfully installed a new receiver (on the second attempt part doh). Happy to say I have satellite radio working.

    Sadly, the antenna mast threads do not fit, it is too big for the receiver. All parts were ordered from Toyota directly and the mast is original. Not sure what to do other than tape it up for now. Going to try to call the dealer that sold me the parts tomorrow. Anyone aware if there could be a Toyota mast with a smaller diameter? Does anyone know what the specs are for the screw?

    My other casualty was the tie down d-ring bolt over the battery. Snapped in two putting it back in, trying to drill it out but I’m going to take to my local mechanic before I really mess it up. does anyone know the specs or part number to the tie down bolts?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Are you saying you changed the preamp on the roof but now the mast does not fit?

    If so, it’s possible they sent the wrong preamp. There are three. These were my choices when the preamp went out.
