Heated Mirrors...2009 models

kannibul · 07-17-2009, 11:15 AM

Has anyone removed their OEM mirrors to see if the wiring is already there for heated mirrors?

If so, then is there any reason we couldn't get the 2010's mirrors from a dealer / parts store, and stick them in there?

(that said, I don't know much about how heated mirrors are connected or how they turn on/off...)

More than likely it'll be easy to swap on some 2010 heated mirrors onto the 2009's, and if anything, you'd just tie its on/off functionality into the defroster switch.

wait...so the 2010 models will come with mirror defrosters?? or is this just speculation?

I'll be swapping mirrors ASAP

I might throw this on as well, usually its tied in w/rear defrost.

I'd actually just wire them to the ignition (wire to the mirror adjustment motor). My Audi always had them 'on'. There are a lot of times you won't need your rear window defrosted but the side mirrors may fog.

... wow to the ignition. 10,000 Volts should melt pretty much anything ;P

He he, like little nuclear powered mirrors to keep the fog, snow and ice off them.

Cjanik · 07-19-2009, 12:28 PM

Im pretty sure he ment ignition switch

, don't want no nuclear powered mirrors near me!!

I'm glad I live in las vegas, I dont think i have EVER EVER seen a foggy mirror. Now that I mention it, I dont even know what foggy mirrors look like

Hopefully the wiring is there and already tied into the defrost setting ........ will make for an easy swap.
