    my 2008 prious (package 5) is coming in and I am getting a factory sat radio. Not sure whether to get xm or sirius (I would listen to music rather then talk radio). I amcurious where the dactory xm antenna installationwould be.

    Any help appreciated

    XM: on the dash.
    Sirius: center of the roof behind the AM/FM whip.

    I've heard (but didn't investigate) that the music is better on XM, plus you have MLB. Sirius has NPR and Howard Stern.

    I have found XM music to be better than Sirius but Sirius carries NFL and XM NHL. I am debating putting in the sirius receiver and integrating with the JBL or looking into a Sirius Stiletto with docking.

    If you're of a certain age you'll recognize the original MTV VeeJays on Sirius Channel 8.
