    I have a new 2012 Prius III. It has an overhead compartment that can be used to hold sun glasses. Our 1999 Sienna has a similar compartment that can be switched out to a compartment that holds a garage door opener remote. You push the button on the compartment and then it will push the button on the remote. Is such a feature available for my Prius? I'm wondering if the dealership forgot to give me the separate garage door opener compartment? Thanks for your help.

    Yes, when we got our Sienna it came with both the thing that holds glasses and the thing that holds the remote. I swapped out the glasses thing for the remote compartment. You Velcro the remote in a position so when you push the button on the remote compartment it pushes the button on the remote. It worked quite well. I guess Toyota wanted you to buy the Prius 4 for several thousand more rather than give you a container that costs an extra $25.

    My 2004 has a Homelink opener built into the mirror ... certainly all newer Prii have it too?
    Had a hell of a time setting it until we went to HL website.

    I'd more-or-less completely forgotten that little compartment. Isn't there a label on it saying don't store sunglasses in it? Which begs the question...

    We've got the Homelink mirror setup too. And if not for our son's tech savvy, I don't think we would have figured it out, lol.
