    Has anyone installed an auto dimming mirror with Homelink?

    It’s a dealer accessory option at anytime.

    The Gen 5. I got the base model that doesn't have one figuring that I can always install out aftermarket.

    I'm going to suggest getting one from a salvage yard. There's one in Mass for $75.
    Used 2023 TOYOTA PRIUS INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR - Chuckran Auto Parts

    I believe this is the one Toyota is using(you can find it for $220):
    VOXX Electronics

    If you buy it from Toyota, you're looking at at least $575:

    You might have to do some extra wiring. I don't know if the LE/SE comes with the power plug for the mirror. If you do need to add power, everything you need is already in the map light area.

    I bought the Toyota mirror for $172. It doesn't auto-dim, but it has HomeLink, which is what I truly want. It is easy to install.

    I think that the more expensive mirror connects to the backup cam.

    No, the one that connects to the backup cam costs around $1625(and that's with a 31% discount).

    There are four(/five) mirrors in total:
    1. 87840-0W500 - $55.71 - LE/SE standard - ordinary manual mirror
    2. PT374-00210 - $132.25 - LE/SE port installed option - manual, Homelink - this is what you got
    3. 87840-0W690 - $578.70 - XLE/LTD/XSE/XSE+ standard - auto dimming, Homelink
    4a. 87840-0W510 - $1625.19 - LTD/XSE+ option - backup cam, auto dimming, Homelink (for cars built 12/22-8/23)
    4b. 87840-0W790 - $1625.19 - LTD/XSE+ option - backup cam, auto dimming, Homelink (for cars built from 9/23)

    all prices are from Lewis Toyota, which has the 31% discount of MSRP

    It’s important to know you can buy online from many Toyota dealers including some near you. Their discount varies with some items less at one dealer while other items are less at a second dealer. One dealer may list a part number online while another may not. Find the part number and Google.

    You wait for the item and you pay for shipping UNLESS you buy local and select pickup at the dealer. This is the lowest cost option other than buying used on eBay - which is good enough for some items.

    Most legit shops also get a significant discount from their local Toyota dealer. Plus the dealer normally delivers to the shop or they can pick it up. Once in awhile simply asking for a discount at the dealer's parts department works.
