I want to install antiradar and think to get power from cabin rear view mirror which has power for some switch I never use, do you think it's possible?
Other option will be to sneak power cable to the top of window, I don't want to use existing power too much exposure.
I bought a used 2010 model and here's a pic of my rearview mirror. Please note the base of the mirror assembly and the location where it's attached to the windshield. Seems kinda low to me. Can other 2010 owners chime in if your mirror is attached at the same spot (or not)?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to route the power cord for my radar detector and my garmin down through one of the stock tweeter placements. And I have a question as to whether the little grills are glued in or just there with a bracket.
In my 2005 camry, the grills over the tweeters were easily popped out because they had little clips and just clipped in. So i popped the grill up, found a suitable hole and dropped the power cables down and then placed the grill back on.
In my v6 2010 SE Camry, I started to pry a little on that same grill, and got the impression that they are actually glued in. I don't really wanna pop the seal on the glue all the way around just to get my cables down there.
I can't find any place to run my cables behind the dashboard. Pulling up the main center area that house's the clock in the '10? I could drop the power cables through there but I couldn't find any way to pop it or any instructions.
I noticed when driving on a rough surface/road (gravel, snowy road with sand) the there is a considerable amount of noise coming inside the cabin on the rear end especially.
When I was doing a quick wash today I just realized the sound is coming from the wheel base. On the rear and front end there is a plastic covering the wheel base. Sound proofing / undercoating wheel base.
I have a 2010 prius v with adv. Tech. I noticed that I cannot turn off radar if I want to use regular cruise control sometimes when there is denser traffic. I know that it can be turned off on a Toyota sienna if you press and hold the radar distance button. I've tried with the prius, no luck.
View 19 RepliesAny pointers on tapping the rear view mirror to power a dash cam (or a radar detector) in a 2013 LS? I want to avoid running the wires all around to the power plug. As much as a read, prior to 2013 have a little plastic thingy on a mirror that slides out, which makes it easier - the 2013 is all enclosed.
View 8 RepliesI've recently noticed that my v's auto dimming rear view mirror has stopped working, or at least appears that way. I'm not sure if it's because of the tint because I have used my iPhones led to testing it by shining the light from inside of the vehicle but it still fails to dim.
View 8 Replies2010 Prius: During my first visit to dealership at 5000 mile service I told them to see what's wrong with my driver side rear view mirror why it is shaky. (It only shakes / vibrates left right NOT up down, and depending on the wind, road bumps have no affect) Obviously they could not duplicate it.
I called Toyota and Dealer wanted me to test-drive with a technician and show him the problem, which I did and technician agreed that there is a lot of wind induced shaking at the same time passenger side mirror is rock solid. They replaced the mirror with another mirror.
Now here is the problem, new one is also shaking. I am from SF Bay Area driving on 80, 780 and 680 near Fairfield (mostly windy)...
Gen 3 2011, rear view mirror grarage door opener light has a constant dim blink. The second light which indicates reflective repression will not turn on or off. That light should be on at night all the time.
View 1 RepliesI've looked in the mounds of user manuals as well as searching here but can't find the answer to this question: How do you keep the EV screen showing on the upper dash after turning on radar cruise control? Even if I switch back to any of the EV screens the dang radar ready or the active radar screen takes over no matter how many times I go back to the EV screens. I have already set the option in setup to not automatically return to the previous screen on the 7" HDD screen.

View 18 RepliesIs there a way to change the default difference on the dynamic radar cruise control from 3 bars to 1 bar?
I think it's annoying to have to change it every time that I start the vehicle and activate cruise control.
I have a 2011 Prius IV and have noticed the power mirror controls have no back lighting. Is this correct or do I have a light out?
View 7 RepliesOur SFS LTD started this high pitch constant squeaking sound in the back of the hatch/cabin. We can't figure out where it's coming from. It doesn't seem to have any relation to the suspension (going over big bumps), and occurs on regular driving on flat terrain or regular street bumps/turns, city/highway...
We figure something is rubbing in the back or perhaps its due to a bulletin from the 2008 SFS (welding fix in the rear panel)?
The cabin light system in the roof for the rear passengers stopped working in my car a few weeks ago. The red ambient lighting that lights up the buttons still works, and one of the buttons lights up yellow (the one that controls whether or not the lights should turn on when the doors are opened). However, pressing any of the buttons has no effect whatsoever (although it did momentarily light up one of the side lights once or twice). The big cabin light and the two reading lights on the side refuse to light up.
According to my local Phaeton Center, the control module responsible for the rear cabin light system is not working correctly. They told me that replacing this module will cost me around 1000, including labour. This is a bit pricy for a few cabin lights, so I'd like to know if this is a known problem or if there is any way I could poke at some wires or whatever myself in an attempt to fix this without having to sponsor my local service center. The cabin lights in the front, including the sliding roof controls, work perfectly. It's only the ones in the back which have the problem.
I'm not sure if this is a problem others have experienced here but for the last few months my rear view mirror angle would drop down and every morning when i got in the car i would need to readjust. I then thought that like every other moving part of the P that needs adapting that maybe the same applies to the mirror so i moved it to it's highest then lowest points, moved the seat all the way back, got out, locked the car, unlocked it, the seat and mirror had returned to the position stored in the memory and for the last month the mirror has not moved so I'm thinking that this has solved the problem.
View 1 RepliesMy rear view mirror looks to be dying. Yesterday morning it started with what looked like a hairline crack through the middle of the glass. Several hours later it appeared to be de-laminating itself. It looks like water is stuck between 2 layers of glass. Obviously not happy with this as TOD is just around the corner and don't want to be traveling over 1200 miles with limited rear view visibility. [URL]..........
View 7 RepliesI constantly need to adjust my rearview miror every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. It seems to droop down a little bit at a time during that time period. I ran a forum search on this topic but no matches found.
View 7 RepliesA week or so ago there was a topic about the rear view mirror dimming. I replied that mine worked on the inside but not the outside mirrors. I just re-read two or three different brochures and found that the outside mirrors do just about everything except dim! Go figure.
View 1 RepliesMy new Passat SE seems to have a band of convex (concave?) glass about halfway up the the rear window, such that when I look in the rearview, cars behind me look like they're in one of those fun house mirrors that stretches them to look taller. I'm fairly certain this is in the window and not the mirror.
View 9 RepliesI need to remove the passenger side rear view mirror. To do so, according to the workshop manual, I will have to remove the interior door panel first. Is that right or are there any shortcuts?
