    Are there any Toyota models similar to the Prius V from which I could swap the rear view mirror on my 2013 Prius V 5? I'm taller and the mirror blocks people crossing the street in the city. I notice the mirror only has one pivot point while in prior cars the mirror had two pivot points allowing me to push the mirror up against the headliner and still be useful. Finding a non-Toyota mirror with a built in dash cam would also be useful.

    If you don't mind losing the Home-link and auto-dimming, anything double-hinged works.

    I'm pretty sure the OEM mirror has double-pivot. My 2013 v-5 model had it, but it wasn't obvious and took a little extra torque to get it to move. So check again, I'll bet its there..
