    Good Morning All,

    Fairly new user here in the forums

    Someone stole the antenna mast off of my 2015 Prius V and I am having issues locating a replacement. I am hoping someone here can help me identify the correct one. As far as I know, my trim level is a 3 and I have the following options - Entune premium audio with navigation (but not the premium JBL 8 speakers setup), no radar cruise control, no SOS, no collision avoidance (at least that is what my research has turned up - these trim levels/options are very confusing...)
    My VIN number is JTDZN3EU7FJ016379 if that helps out - have poured over Toyota's website, Toyota app, Toyota Parts Deals, Toyota Parts Now, even have an Alldata DIY account and all I get are contradictory results.
    I want to make sure I am getting the correct antenna based on my features since they can vary wildly in price and I don't want to spend more on something I don't have/need or shortchange myself and get something that might potentially remove access to a feature.

    If any additional information is needed, please ask away...

    Thanks in advance for all of your help
    Mike

    The screw on antenna is the same for all trims and options. It's cheap enough to buy from the dealer. The antenna preamp is the piece the mast screws into. The preamp has different part numbers and costs based on xm radio or emergency sos service.

    The ~ 7 inch stubby antenna is about 1/16 wavelength of the low end of the FM band, even if spiral wound, and I have no idea whether it is. Scosche sells an inexpensive15 inch whip (1/8 wave) that really improves reception. 1/4 wave would be better still, but at 30 inches that’s a lot of drag.
