    I have the 2025 Prius Plug-in XSE Premiuim with the Advanced Technology Package, including the digital rearview mirror, just a couple weeks old.

    I used it a couple times. Cool. Very different experience. Don't usually use it though, I'm curious to know how others use it? All the time, or in certain situations? How do you like it?

    One thing I have noticed though. Items seen in it (such as a car behind one) look MUCH closer in that digital rearview mirror than they do otherwise (including the other mirrors, or the backup camera as seen on the screen, etc.) That can be confusing. Why does it do that? Can that be adjusted?

    Thank you.

    I don't use it normally, but it's handy as a back-up if the rear window's got a lot of water build-up, or there's someone or something in the back obscuring the view.

    It has zoom, pan and tilt controls - I don't recall how mine was originally, but I know I did play with those at some point to make it match the real mirror as close as possible.
