    Hello! I have a 2008 Prius, I don't know which package it is (bought used) however it does have the backup camera and navigation (in case that information helps in answering my question). The radio has the AM/SAT button and I want to get the XM kit installed, however Toyota quoted me an insane price ($650). From reading the forums I know that I can buy the parts and install it for nearly half that or less.

    PriusChat no longer sells the kit :( and I am struggling with finding the correct OEM parts. I've come up with this: PTS31-47060 Fit Kit & PTS31-53060 Receiver but I am not sure if that's even right. Can someone guide me and point me in the right direction as to which parts I need exactly if the car is SAT ready with button, and maybe even a site that sells it?

    Thanks a million!

    I googled the part number, I did the same install you are attempting to do! Do yourself a favor, mount the antenna just behind the radio antenna on the roof, reception is much better!
    These guys have the unit for $169.00. Fitkit $100.00

    RECEIVER, SIRIUS, for TOYOTA |PTS31-530

    FITKIT, SIRIUS, PRIU for TOYOTA |PTS31-47060

    The XM unit mounts under the passenger side of the rear seat. Just pull up the seat and there are a couple of screw holes things screw into. The wires you will run up the right side wiring channel, and come through the glovebox and can plug in the connecter. I personally pulled the entire dash up, 90% pops apart, and a couple of screws! Also here in an install guide , if you have not seen the full deal...

    PM me your email, I will send you some install files!

    I you go to Sirius website and purchase a package you can get the SV200 for $49.00.....that is all u need, simply take it to some audio installed and have it done, should be more than $50.00 to install it is quite simple and just takes 15 mins or so to do.
