    Does anybody know how to install a auto dim homelink mirror in a 08 Prius. If so, your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I scanned thru the procedures and I was shocked.
    I installed Homelink + Autodimming mirror myself on my CX-9.
    It took me only 30 minutes. The hardest part was to remove the old mirror, not the wiring.
    The wiring, after all, is just to find the
    - constant 12V (for Homelink)
    - switched 12V (for auto-dimming)
    - ground (body frame)

    On Mazda CX9, all I did was removing the A-pillar internal trim and kick panel near the left foot well. I don't know about the exact process on Prius, but I would suggest you to find a model-specific instructions from Toyota on Prius. The linked procedures might not be optimal (no offense intended).
