    Hello Prius Audio Guru's:
    On a recent trip to LA my rental car had a Sirius satellite radio and my family fell in love with it ( the Broadway show tunes channel) and want to buy me one for my birthday.
    Ive read the threads here about siriusprius and the other Prius integration kits using the fixed black box receiver but I have a question

    We'd like to install a removable unit so we can use it in the house and another car (minivan) for trips

    Is there a way to use a removable Sirius receiver yet still be able to integrate it into my 2004's MFD ?

    Or will I be stuck with the Aux input/portable Sirius solution?

    Thanks in Advance

    Mossypete,
    The only way I know of to get touchscreen integration is to use one of the following:
    1.) SiriusPrius Kit
    2.) Vais SLS Kit with an outboard Sirius Tuner
    3.) The Factory kit the Metro offers

    No off the shelf portable Sirius kit (that I know of) integrates with the MFD.

    I've seen some pretty slick installs of Sirius Sportster's & the like here on PC...but no integration in those.

    If you do get a fixed mount Prius integrated unit, adding a second Sirius subscription for a portable tuner (that you could use at home or in another car) only costs about $7/month versus the full priced
    first tuner subscription.

    Hope this helps
