I created a new post on the Auto-Dimming system issues. I searched a bit and saw a few complaints that were the same as mine, but no responses answered them. Maybe someone will here:

I have a Prius III without fancy mirror and the "wrong" kind of music will cause mirror vibration at not-really-loud volume levels. A couple of my CDs (of different genres) seem to like to have sustained super-low bass notes that cause bad vibration.

FWIW, I'm driving a Matrix right now (loaner from the dealer while my headlight computer is being replaced) and the mirror shakes like crazy when I turn up the volume with the Foo Fighters. Much more pronounced then when I listen to the same music in my Prius.
