    Does the Sirius Sporster 5 work well in a Prius.

    My new Prius is on order and already own a Sportster 5 in the car I am selling.

    How do you mount?

    Curious, how did the Sportster 5 work out in your Prius? I just purchased and 09 Prius and and planning to transfer my Sportster 5 to the new car this weekend? Any mounting tips?

    Cheers,
    Doug

    My Sportster 5 has been working fine

    I used a "Proclip" mount. Here is their website: ProClip Mounting System  - Choose Your Country

    I mounted just to the left of the MFD and is wired directly to the car stereo antenna (no FM transmitter.) My antenna was place on the dashboard in corner near windshield. I have very few "searching for signal" times. Bub probably would get a little better if antenna was outside, but this is a much cleaner mount.

    Search around prius chat, there are picture of this mount on other cars. ( I do not have picures of mine
