    It's a third party. I have the same. Download the FITCAMX app.

    It's more expensive than most but it's custom made for the Prius and connects without a fuss inline with the already there power cable in just a few minutes. You pull away (towards the mirror) the cover, disconnect the cable already there, plug the camera inline, install the new cover with the camera built into it and your done.

    It's a shame though that Toyota didn't allow for a MicroSD card to record from the original camera.

    No monthly fee. It records to a microSD card that is accessible by the passenger side of the enclosure or directly over wifi using the app.

    In the Amazon link I posted, it shows how to see if yours is compatible. You remove the mirror cover and look for the part number inside. If it matches, it's compatible.

    Dude! Thank you! Downloaded the app, goggled the wifi password, and BAM up and running. It has a 256gb card installed. We are headed out tomorrow for a road tip and this will be nice to have. Definitely factory looking.

    I fully detailed, did a decom wash, fallout, clayed, waxed, and sealed the glass. She is looking good! Now ready for winter road grime lol.
