Question Auto Dimming Rear View mirror

Dows anyone know a good source besides going to the stealership for an auto dimming rear view mirror for an 09 Ram? It's the one option my old Silverado had that I miss when I traded up! Other than that, thoroughly enjoying being a first time Dodge owner!

Auto salvage yard, but watch out for the junk ones.
Some of these junk dealers sell them on ebay, but watch what your buying.
Make sure your truck is wired for it too before you buy one, some trucks aren`t wired for it.

You can generally buy Mopar stuff at a pretty good discount on ebay.

Auto-dimming...That's what Privacy glass is good for;-) It's already dimmed..haha
I never really seen the need for an auto dimming rear view in my truck because it sits up high so lights from behind don't bother me too much.
I have privacy glass installed on the sides so the light reflected off the side mirrors don't bother me anymore either.

I'm very skeptical about Ebay sales the past few years. It's very commercialized with sellers who have stolen, grey market or B-stock items and very deceptive. They also have crappy return policies, where as if you bought it from elsewhere online, they stand behind their product and offer normal return policies. I won't buy anything from non store people when shopping on ebay. I link Ebay stuff because it's a "get all" store front that makes linking/finding stuff for people easy. Back in 1998-2007 Ebay was the place to get everything, now I barely shop there.
NEW online USED off ebay

Most of the folks selling New Mopar parts on ebay are dealers. Like any other source you need to shop around and find your best price. For my seat heaters and one of my tow mirrors ebay was the cheapest source and both sellers were dodge dealers.

Well, yeah, but not used stuff. I would only buy from actual dealers or store fronts whose items aren't used.
