350 Russ Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 how long does it take for everyones heated wing mirrors to warm up and to get rid of the morning dew? it takes me 25 mins to get to work and they still hadnt cleared by then! the rear window warms up a bit slow but does work ok, so just wondering if there faulty?

Chris`I Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 If its just water or a bit of frost on mine, I would say they are clear somewhere around 5-10 minutes. If its completely frozen, could take 15mins maybe. Does sound like yours arent working right Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 i didn't know they were heated how do they come on, is it when you put the rear de mister on, or is there a button. if there is a button where is it cos i ain't seen it Quote
nismoip Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 i didn't know they were heated how do they come on, is it when you put the rear de mister on, or is there a button. if there is a button where is it cos i ain't seen it +1 is it standard on both UK and JDM or UK only? Quote

They come on with with the rear demister. Standard in the UK car, not sure about JDM, my guess would be optional Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 woo hoo! bonus, something extra i have that i didn't know. always wondered how the mirrors cleared so quickly last winter Quote

MacW Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 In the frost the other morning mine went from frozen over to dead clear in about 5 mins, there was steam coming off the drivers side at one point. Quote
nixy Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 one of my bug bears - i don't have them. Well if i do they don't work - a car like this and i have to rub my mirrors with my glove! Quote

350 Russ Posted December 15, 2009 Author Posted December 15, 2009 cheers guys, my z is a jdm so maybe its not got the option?? ive resorted to wiping them with a shammy in the morning which gets tedious Quote
Jixaman Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 JDM's no have heated mirrors but I'm sure theres a post on here for adding it... Instead we get auto fold mirrors when locking, UK cars no got that but I'm sure theres a post on here for adding it... So, while different, we can be all the same... Quote
ersen.o Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 i aint got auto fold on my jdm lol, i gotta flick the button on the mirror control bit to fold mine Quote
IanS16 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 i aint got auto fold on my jdm lol, i gotta flick the button on the mirror control bit to fold mine +1 and me. There are sooo many different gadgets on the JDMs, we should update the list of differences Quote
