    I'm almost certain the same connector is still there digital mirror or not. It would take you 2 minutes to pop the cover off to look.

    I dont have my P5 yet but was wondering to buy the connector already while going to the states to save on shipping costs.

    Even if the connector is the same - couldnt be there a chance, that some "new important" pin is not included yet?

    The Dongar only works on models that have an auto-dimming mirror. It shunts into the mirror's power plug.

    There is another power plug under the same panel, but it's for Toyota Safety Sense, the Dongar can't use it. Their guide page (expand Toyota / Lexus) has example images.

    I read all this but they don't explicitly mention the digital mirror - after all the digital mirror has to send some video from the back of the car that has to got through the same cable. Or is there an exta cable for the video feed?

    So far apparently none has experience with the dongle + toyota digital mirror

    The wolfbox has its own cable for the rear video signal feed I assume.

    Yes, The wolfbox G850 that I got come with a 1080p rearview cam that I attach at the top of back window.
    Typical digital mirrors should can with power source cable, GPS unit and rearview cam that all use different cables.
    The Dongar adapter just an extra USB type A port that you can use as digital mirror's power source, so you don't have to wire it from any type C ports or fuse box.
