    New member here. I just picked up an '02 Prius and have a weird question about the radio. My car has the AM/FM cassette, with the single CD down below (behind the door). Whenever I either eject a cassette to go back to radio, or just hit the FM button (to switch to the radio from cassette) the radio doesn't go back to the station I was last listening to. Is this normal? Is there a main station program I need to set for a default overall station? This is weird and I've never seen another radio (factory or aftermarket) do this.

    Thanks,

    I know it isn't under warranty anymore. I guess I was just asking if it was normal. I just find it kinda wierd, that's all. When I want to switch from my XM radio which I have via my cassette adapter I click on the FM button which takes me to 95.5 every time, even though I was listening to 106.7 or 98.7 before XM. Oh well, I guess I can deal with it. I'm not buying a new radio just for that.

    Thanks,

    Never heard of that problem either. BUt I did have a used early Prius a few years ago that the AM didn't work,all else ok. After disconnecting the aftermarket CD changer in the trunk,all was back to normal. Hope your XM isn't causing your problem, :roll:

    I really don't see how the XM can be causing my problem. It's just like playing a tape. I'd think that after I was done listening to a tape the radio would return to the station I was last listening to. Oh well.

    Thanks,

    I found out the problem. I had the traffic button on, so when changing from tape to radio it was searching for the closest traffic station I think. After I turned it off, I can now switch from tape to radio and the radio will come back wherever I left it.
