    I'd really like to get the sharkfin antenna for my Prius, but I have the solar package and it is supposedly not compatible with that. Does anyone know why it is not compatible? Or if a compatible one is being developed? I know the reception isn't as good as with the regular antenna, but I want it just for looks - I pretty much never use the radio anyway.

    The current sizing is incorrect, but more importantly, if your FM reception is lousy, as many others out here have compained about, putting a sharkfin on the car will make reception only WORSE!!!
