Are the outside door mirrors really heated ?? Does anyone know for sure?? I thought I read that they were, but I have never seen them work, like melting snow or ice. Just asking.

 

Misprint in the owners manual. No heat

 

what he said....

 

Definately not heated. Wish they were.

 

you know i was wondering the same exact thing 2 days ago...
Actually I think they may be. When i turned up the heat and set the vent dial all the way right (defrost mode) the ice off the mirrors melted pretty quickly... whereas snow in near the same location did not (so it likely wasn't ambient heat from the windows).

 

They are not! I called up scion myself!- misprint in manual!!!

i wish they were heated but like they said, no heated mirrors.

 

I wish they were in a big way. If I were to mod my mirrors,
the new ones would HAVE to have that feature!

 

just open your window and point the vent that way..lOL

 

Does anyone know of anywhere that you can order some aftermarket heated mirrors for the xB?

 

Anyone know of any way this might be done DIY?

 

Just called scion Customer care and asked about the heated mirror. They said sorry its a misprint.

 

DUHH!!

Isnt that what i said back in MARCH?

 

wow....i want one now....

I'm interested in getting heated mirrors for my xB. But, I'm not willing to make the prototype and to "sail into uncharted waters." I'd like to follow some other trail-blazer on this one. Thanks to anyone who takes this challenge and does this DIY.

for that site they do list the xB as an application, but we have to call for availability... so maybe they have something or will make something if theres enough interest.

another company I've found that have after market heated mirrors is
www.muthco.com
however the xb isnt listed as an app
