A few times i've temporarily had my plug and play running. Downsides are that being around NYC I had to change the broadcast frequency a few times and the loose wires, etc. Upsides are the external antennae worked fine inside on the dash above the central speaker.
Obviously the cost differential is pretty big, but it seems worth it b/c of the touch screen and always clear radio signal.
Couple other questions:
- Does this void any warranty?
- Does this install into the Aux input? And if so, can you not use the Aux input in the center consul for playing iPod type players?

MixBreed, I would not worry about how the external Antenna looks. Its not any different then the size of your plug and play antenna and is hard to notice. As far as the Warranty I am sure it voids certain parts of it but from what I have read it does not void all of your car's warranty. I have had mine for about 8 months, and have nothing but good things to say. I hated the Plug in play because of the sound quality, and constant search for radio stations. Another company make a different unit that will work for the Prius as well and gives you extra aux jacks, it looks like they are still in R&D for the mod but it might work better for your i-pod needs.
