    Toyota forgot one thing with the Homelink rearview mirror: no lights for the garage door buttons. You sort of have to 'feel' your way to the buttons. Much worse with gloves on.

    Our Prius V 3 doesn't come with a Homelink mirror and the Toyota dealership says everything is different on the Prius V and they can't order a replacement mirror with Homelink. Very frustrating.

    (Note, our new RAV 4 Limited, comes with a rearview camera, but NO Homelink. What is with Toyota?

    no homelink buttons I've ever used are illuminated - none of the cars I've ever seen them in, whether it's a rear-view mirror, visor button, and overhead console buttons.

    I don't think we can drop this one on Toyota.

    The Prius v 5 w/ ATP I have has the homelink rearview mirror, but there is no backlighting on the buttons.

    Turn the autodim switch on, the green led is located between the second and third programmable Homelink button. You can also program 1, 2 or 3 of these buttons to the same RF remote if desired.
