    Congrats on ur New Prii.

    The new connector & terminals can be bought from the dealer. The taps u can find at most stereo installer shops. Most will sell u the 1's u need.

    I have an extra set of terminals w/the connector & all necessary taps.

    Because the parking button and the ev, pwr, and economic buttons are on opposite sides. Also the dash trim is flipped around

    I didn't see any of that stuff in the 2 pictures of the item that I see when I look at them on Rakuten's website. Where did you see all those details?

    I messaged my guy right away to tell him to get it, but then the post came about it not being for a US car......so I'm waiting to have that verified.

    wait, are we talking about the mirror illumination switch or the carbon fiber dash kit ?

    hehe, I think we're talking about the wrong things ?

    here's the carbon fiber dash kit I was talking about, it's obvious from the pics in the link that it's for RHD, and won't fit any north american Prius

    Dash kit is only for RHD

    Switch is for LHD & RHD

    Hope this clears up the confusion :D
