Is is me or does the FM reception on the 2005 Prius suck? I live in the SF Bay Area, and so far my my 10 year old Celica gets better reception than my new Prius. Anybody else having this problem? Ryan
Yes, it sucks. I solved that problem by installing XM, but you're right, it should be much better, especially considering this (mine at least) is the "premium" sound system. Geoff
I've got the 2004 and I'm under the impression it's the same car. But my reception is about the best of any car I've owned recently. I used to listen to 2 stations because I drive about 25 miles to work and I used to have to change stations all the time. One station closer to work, the other closer to my home. Now I can usually stick with one. So the radio must not be the same.
I've got package 9 which is supposed to be like the 2005 package C. It's got the 9 speaker system. The current system is a JBL. When I go home tonight I'll see if mine is also the JBL. Who knows, maybe it will turn out that your antenna is not hooked up or something like that.
No, its not the speakers. CD sounds great. Some stations sound good. I don't have the premium sound package, just the basic. Perhaps my tweeters weren't as good before, but now I hear quite a bit more static on the same stations I could hear just fine in a 1994 Toyota. For those of you that went XM, which product did you choose and how did you hook up the power? Ryan
