I am also deciding whether or not I want to go with shark fin or another alternative. I took a picture of the plug for my antenna (2013 Prius Three) so if the plug fits, I dont see why you wouldnt be able to use it. The bottom side is only connected by a bolt.
Looks promising . . . I hope there is a way to find out if this would work besides just buying one and trying it out.
Attention K Mart Shoppers. For $125 dollars and some effort, why not keep what you have. The factory antenna is short and not that visible. Something I can live with. Not trying to stifle creativity.
Unfortunately, I already put everything back together :-S but from what I remember there isn't anything special underneath it. The antenna is held in place by a bolt
Are you talking about replacing the radio antenna or adding a NAV antenna? That eBay antenna in the first post is a NAV receiver antenna that picks up satellite signals, no FM radio signals. If your talking about the FM radio antenna, I changed mine with a shorter 3" antenna which functions excellent and looks much nicer than the stock antenna but way less cost than the shark fin antenna.

Was looking to replace the FM, yea I saw that it was GPS wasn't sure how they were different just like the low profile. So I took your suggestion and ordered a 4" replacement antenna. The shark fins were too bulky for me. Thought about painting the base of the antenna to match the car but I am sure I will just leave it as is. Thanks
If that 4" antenna is the same design as mine, you'll be very happy with the performance and look. I believe I paid 13 bucks shipped for mine back in the spring of 2012. Well worth the money spent. Mike
I would check eBay. The Priuschat Shop has them also: Shark Fin Antenna for 2012-2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in - PriusChat Shop Mike
Is this antenna able to stay on while going through a car wash? When they take mine off they always put it back on finger tight. This has led to a loss of two antennas.
