    My pri II came with a homelink auto dimming mirror but did not like it because I love wide angle mirrors. Took away my auto dimming mirror and replaced it with a used $12 mirror from a toyota highlander off ebay and instaledl a flabeg blue coated mirror to minimize glare. LOVE IT! If you guys want to replace the mirror like I did, go here 2003-11 Toyota Highlander Camry Rear View Mirror Murakami 7227 10-1/2" | eBay

    No mods necessary. Just slide it in.

    $70 shipped to lower 48 states. One member had ask me about it and have to ask him first if he wants to buy it. I'll let you know if he backs out. Selling only the mirror without the wiring harness.

    I took my rear view mirror out completely, I dont use it, whats behind me doesnt matter. Having trucks for decades I have always taken them out. It really is in my way and is just a blind spot for me.

    Just search ebay or google flabbeg coated mirror. Just simply a mirror with the blueish tint. Runs from $29-36. Get the ones from razo or broadway.

    Darned if I can find a record of where I bought one, but I did find one over the internet and it worked perfectly. I did see Toyota parts list which offers a hardware bag which appears to include the harness, but I don't know the cost. It's at: http://toyotapart.com/PT374-47100.pdf
