    Hello,
    I'm enjoying this forum - glad there's a place to get information from people who are so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Prius. I purchased my 2007 Prius (package #1) in October. I've noticed that many times my radio (AM and FM) won't come on right away - no sound - sometimes it has been delayed for over a minute maybe even two. Last week I was listening to a particularly interesting story on NPR so, anticipating this, I brought along a portable radio so I wouldn't miss a large segment. I have never had this happen in a car before --prior cars: Gremlin, Chevette, Cavalier, Camry....The CD player does not have this delay. I think it's worse in colder weather. Is this a quirk of the Prius or do I have a problem??
    Thanks for any info.

    Yeah, that's just jacked up. Sounds like it's time for a trip to the dealer....

    Maybe you just need to listen to cooler music... my prius craves the Snoop Dogg :)

    Thanks for the replies. Hmm, I wonder what this could be?? I guess I'll try some cooler music on my way to the dealer! :blink:
