I bought the Gentex K21 Auto-Dimming reaar veiw mirror with compass and temp and the mirror wire cover from Autoanything.com for $210.

This is a great mirror with the Boxster and the outside temp and compass are a big help.

Only issue is finding a path to run the temperature probe up to the lower grills on the bumper. Had to remove the headlights, front trunk liner, etc to find a path for the cable. Had to feed it through a few rubber grommets in the firewall. It can be done!!!

If that's the only issue, I'm good to go, I pulled my bumper to install the passport 9500ci, piece of cake. Did you have to take off your old mirror, did you have to buy the cam kit and wire cover between the mirror and top of the windshield?
