I believe the model number is: 50-GENK41A. It's a Gentex mirror made by MITO corporation. They have other options too, such as a compass, temperature gauge, map lights, etc. I only got autodimming and homelink.

Dennis - is this the adapter for the auto-dimming mirror?
I haven't heard back from the radar-mirror folks, but I've found an alternate source for the mirrors.

The adapter I used was different. It looked like a little metal horse shoe.
Unfortunately, when I had my windshield replaced the mirror and adapter wouldn't mount properly. I think my new windshield has a different button and needs a different adapter, I just haven't looked into it yet.
Where did you find that adapter? Maybe it's the one I need now...

Found it at the aptly named autodimmingmirrors.com! Here's a link to the mirror; accessories are listed at the bottom of the page:

I'm interested in the same mod and am curious when somebody finds details on the button adapter. I have not seen any website say there is a compatible adapter for a porsche.

Could the original mount on the windshield not be replaced with a new mount that works for these mirrors? That way, you don't have to worry about an adapter.

I suppose it is possible, but the new windshield comes from the factory with the button already mounted. Perhaps there's a way to remove it without damaging the windshield...

It looked exactly like that.

I ran mine to the sunroof power. I also have the new adapter and I re-mounted my mirror.

Mirror part number
I just completed my latest mod - installation of a new autodimming mirror with homelink. My C4S didn't come with the autodimming mirror from the factory, so this was a nice way to upgrade to that feature, plus add homelink. I hate having clutter in the car like garage door openers, and now that problem is solved! The installation was very easy, and Scott at www.radar-mirror.com was very helpful in helping me select the proper mirror and with the adapter necessary to fit it to the OEM Porsche mirror windshield button. I'm very pleased with the results. As you can see in the photo, i snapped a quick pic with my iPhone.

I actually have one of these Gentex mirrors sitting in a box in my garage because I haven't had the nerve to try removing the original mirror. Also looks like I'd have to route switched power from someplace, probably the phone connector in the lower console.
Anyone out there who has installed one of these in a cab?
