Gentex/Auto-dimming mirror manufacturer - GPS built-in?

As some of you may know, the auto-dimming mirror that was added in the 2k1 and up Max is from a company called Gentex. They make these mirrors, which different options, for MANY car manufacturers.

I recently spoke with someone from EBay who was selling his OE auto-dim mirror from his 2k1 Max because he purchased a different one from Gentex which had a GPS sensor built-in. Anyone heard of this one?

I saw on www.gentex.com they did have one with GPS, but it's for the Onstar system. Wondering if I can get rid of my old GPS receiver that I hook to my laptop and use this one in the mirror instead (IF I buy the mirror, of course.)

Hoping to contact them after the holiday, but thought someone may have heard of this.

I'm interested in this too. Moreover, I'd like to get the autodimming side mirrors.

Try contacting Contexts distributor.
