Collaborative Perception (CP) improves autonomous systems' awareness of their surroundings by sharing sensor data, intermediate features, and detection results. In real-world deployments, however, collaborating vehicles often use heterogeneous sensors, perception models, datasets, and training domains, creating feature-space shifts that degrade downstream fusion and detection. Existing approaches typically retrain fusion and detection components or introduce modality-specific feature interpreters. These methods scale poorly to newly joining agents and often require access to proprietary metadata, raising privacy concerns. We propose HeteroPROMPT, a real-time and privacy-preserving framework for heterogeneous collaborative perception. HeteroPROMPT rapidly aligns each heterogeneous agent's features with an ego-centric unified feature space through modular prompts and lightweight learning-based tuning, while keeping agent encoders and the collaborative fusion and detection stacks frozen. Its visual prompt-based training and inference modulate Bird's Eye View (BEV) features across channels and spatial locations with low computational overhead. For metadata-free deployment, an autoencoder learns a compact unified representation and extracts modality cues from shared features, enabling real-time modality classification and routing to the appropriate HeteroPROMPT modules without exposing proprietary agent information. Experiments on the OPV2V-H and V2XSet datasets show that HeteroPROMPT improves Average Precision over state-of-the-art heterogeneous CP methods while using orders of magnitude fewer trainable parameters. This offers a scalable and practical CP solution. The proposed modality classifier also predicts the joining agent's modality from compact features with greater than 99.99 percent accuracy during deployment.
