I used this one when my antenna broke apart. First you need to carefully remove the white plastic part, leaving only the metal plate against the roof. (alternatively you can remove the whole assembly by removing the nut on the underside). Then you take a razor blade or exacto knife and cut out the middle of the adhesive pad (the dummy antenna is hollow) leaving about 3/8" around the outside. I also sprayed my antenna matte black so it looks like the original. Honestly, it turned out really well. I can post pictures if you're interested.

Nice work!
Looks like that mount could support a pretty hefty tarheel/screwdriver type antenna. Any reason you chose to to make a hinge mount over using a bracket that bolts to the spare tire carrier? Like this
Just like /u/PanguTeam I have the same problem on my 2010 IV. I found what I thought was going to be a solution in a replacement antenna. Before making the purchase I looked up the instructions on how to install it and one of the steps mentioned a hookup for the antenna under the drivers seat. I looked and didn't see it there so I decided not to buy the kit. If I remember correctly there was someone on PriusChat.com that had posted a picture of the hookup under the seat in case you want to give it a shot. Here is the replacement plug that I had in my amazon wish list still: https://www.amazon.com/VAIS-Technology-FRA3M-Antenna-Adapter/dp/B00R59P0S6
The description says that it's compatible with up to 2013 head units but I'm sure there is something similar for 2015.
Good luck!
I’m using a Rugged Ridge antenna mount and a 2ft Firestik antenna on a medium spring. I would prefer 3ft, but I had the 2ft from my last vehicle and wanted to reuse. Like the setup on that.
I have a medium-ish sized CB radio, which is just too big to go anywhere in the cab. I would recommend going with the Cobra 75 radio that a lot of Jeepers use. Not easily stolen, doesn’t take up room.
Yes, all amazon for the CB parts.

I got the Cooltech mount for the Cobra 75WXST which is very cool.

This guy on youtube had a good walkthrough on the install. But now I'm probably going to wire it up to my SPOD since I added that a while back.

Here we go, it's one of these.
It's easy enough to unscrew, I suppose I could just take it off before going out tomorrow, since I just listen to music on Spotify anyways.
I put a black line on the ring inside with a marker that shows me which way the antenna is facing since the points don't have anything to do with it. I also upgraded to the Wineguard sensar 4 it has the Wingman attachment that makes it a little more directional. It picks up 74 channels with no interference where I'm at now.
I’m not sure, I mean, They look like these things
