    Thank you so much Erica for your information. That makes it crystal clear for me and the other people at my dealership.

    On a side note, I just did the Univ of Toyota training on the Gen III. That is some pretty neat technology on the ATP. Can't wait for our ride and drive in June.

    I just received the brochure from XM for the subscription in my 2009 Lexus GX470 and you can add the Best of Sirius channels to your XM subscription for an additional $4 per month, and yes it has channels 100 and 101 which are the Howard Stern XL channels.
    Does anybody know id the XM option on the gen III Prius will have Navtraffic? It isn't available in my GX but it is in the LS, LX and the 2010 RX models.

    You're welcome, sorry for the confusion. Yes, the ride and drive will be worth the wait! The ATP is really cool, but like many on this forum, I'm a sucker for the Solar Roof so for now, ATP is out.

    Yes, Prius will be XM NavTraffic compatible (again, requires an elevated subscription fee, hence the word compatible).

    Best,
    Erica

    You will need to get the "best of Sirius" package at about $5 per month. It has 2 Stern channels, NASCAR, NFL and other channels. Since Siriius bought XM many Sirius versions of music replaced XM's (much to my consternation) but if Stern is your priority, get the best of Sirius with your XM and you'll probably not miss a beat.
