    I’m purchasing a 2019 Prius LE and I’d like to add satellite radio to the factory radio. The dealer said to go aftermarket. Has anyone added this to their prius? I’m looking for ideas.

    Put Sirius XM App on your cell phone, and connect phone to car audio via bluetooth...well, I guess that only works where you have cell service, so not as useful as a real satellite antenna in your car if you travel outside cell range.

    I found a VAIS adapter on Crutchfield for $299. I bought it on Amazon for $199.

    I am ALSO interested on a SIRIUS type radio because I believe the radio stations here in this metropolis reaaaally do what your tongue does to lozenges(vitamin pills, etc...), SUCK !

    Could you tell me how the radio is working in ALBQ ? Thanks
    (just found your post...)

    Working great. No issues. I’ve driven to Arizona, Nevada and Colorado. No issues whatsoever.
