The UGDO mirror has the autodim feature. I do not know of one that has the UGDO and no autodim.
Retail on the UGDO mirror is $649. Though they pop up on ebay for a lot cheaper if you are cool with a used one. Retrofit supposedly requires coding which will add around $100. I am not sure if the coding is required or not though. I was told the coding was to correct issues with the auto wipers once installing the new mirror.
The cheaper solution is to get the E46/E39 transmitter ($179 retail), mount it in the headliner and then wire it to ground and hot-switched power. You would still have the manually dippable mirror but none of the risk of the failing autodim mirror.
