Make sure to run the XM radio cable under this bundle of wires. Leave enough cable to plug into the radio then tie the XM cable off with one of the zip ties located in the XM radio kit.
Page 36
There is a special cable tie in the kit. It has sticky tape attached to it. Put the XM cable into the tie then stick the tie to the inside of the dash by register No.4. Be sure the cable is pulled taught. What we are trying to do is have the cable not interfere with the glove box door.
Page 37
Plug the XM Radio cable into the radio. Reinstall the radio, center dash, multi display. Reinstall all dash panels and registers. Reassemble everything except the RH cowl panel and the RH front sill plate. Take a quick break. Stretch your legs, have a drink. Water, beer or whatever. If it’s beer, have only one.

Pull the B pillar panel away from the B pillar.

Route the XM cable behind the B pillar panel.

Here you will see that the rear seat is removed. It is not absolutely necessary but it is so easy to do and makes the install a little easier. The front of the rear seat pops into these plastic clips. Grasps the lower front of the seat and with a quick snatching motion, pull the seat up and out of the clips.
Page 44
Once the clips are disengaged, pull the seat forward and remove it from the car.

Fold down right rear seat. Remove cargo cover, spare tire cover and cargo tray. Peel back carpet (velcroed to seat back).

Feed the XM radio cable up behind the folded rear seat on the outside of the seat belt.
Page 49
Route the cable under the carpet and along the right quarter panel. A coat hanger or fish tape might come in handy here. Pull the carpet liner out at the bottom, it's easier to see where the cable is being routed.
Page 50
Pull the cable out through the hole in the carpet where the upper panel came from. Take the XM radio unit and attach the duo lock tape from the kit to it. Plug the cable into the unit then mount the unit to the right quarter panel.
Page 51
Make sure your plugs are facing down and not up when mounting. Find the flattest surface possible. There is a prime spot just above and ahead of the battery. The duo-lock and XM unit will be going on the back of the exterior sheet metal (rear quarter).
Page 52
Remove this bolt. Pull panel back slightly. Take the XM radio antenna from the box. There is a black plastic sheathing tape to the antenna wire. Carefully remove the tape from both ends. Allow the sheathing to move freely on the antenna wire. You can remove the sheathing completely if you choose but it is not necessary.
Page 53
Take the template for mounting the antenna out of the kit. Line the template up on the roof and mount the antenna. The antenna has double sided tape as well as a magnet to mount it. We choose not to permanently mount the antenna. If it ever needs to be replaced, it would be very difficult to remove it from the car.
Page 54
Remove the backing from the tape on the antenna wire and stick it to the car. Be sure the area is clean.
Page 55
Route antenna wire over the top of the hatch weather stripping. Make sure the sheathing is not in the way if you chose not to completely remove it. Route the antenna wire behind the right finish panel. Plug the antenna into the XM radio unit.
Page 56
Refit all of your panels. Replace the carpeting, cargo and spare tire covers. Replace the sill plates and any other items removed.

This Prius installation is my interpretation. It is by no means the only way to do the installation. I have presented this as a guide so that others may learn from it. If you feel there are errors or that additions need to be made, please contact me.
