Sirius radio on 2011 Prius III, Carwoo

I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere on here. I am currently looking to buy my first Prius.

I already have a Sirius radio subscription (for years now) and love it. It would be nice to have it in my new car, but I really don't want to transfer my old receiver to my new car unless I have to. I know that on the 2011 Prius III (WITHOUT nav package), the radio is listed as XM compatible, but I don't know if that means that you can just transfer your subscription to this radio and start listening or if you have to have a separate receiver. If that is the case, is this radio also Sirius compatible or just XM? I didn't know if this was one of the older radios that weren't compatible since the companies merged to Sirius-XM.

I know the 2012 Prius will have the NAV package standard with the trim III and up and it will be listed as Sirius-XM compatible. I'm still debating on waiting for the 2012 Gen III Prius vs. getting a 2011 at a hopefully lower price, but I just don't have a clue how much more expensive the 2012's will be.

I test drove a 2011 Prius today and loved it. I'm just waiting for the right time to buy. I think I'm going to use Carwoo's negotiating service because I hate negotiating and am not good at it. I'm not a very pushy guy and I think this will be the best way for me to get the best price.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, that's kind of what I thought. I think I may wait for the 2012's and see what the prices are compared to the 2011's. I guess I can always get a pretty good deal on a 2011 once the 2012 comes out. The standard nav package would be nice though.

Come to think of it, I can always get a 2011 III, and use my own GPS (at any speed), and just add in a small Sirius radio somewhere and call it a day for likely a cheaper price. Plus the speaker system will actually be better in the 2011 III
