PSA - No Separate Switch to Heat Side Mirrors

[surprisinguy]

I've only known Honda's to have a separate mirror heat switch - other's I've owned are incorporated with the rear defrost.

What is this "frost" and "snow" you speak of?


Up here in Canada, we call it another day in paradise!

Guess I'm behind the times. My 2006 Acura TL had a separate switch to heat the side mirrors; I drove that car until I purchased my G70. Still think Genesis could have mentioned it in their Side Mirror discussion...

My Honda Pilot(s) 2004, 2010 had a separate switch as well.

I’ve owned many vehicles, including some pretty nice Audi, BMW and Lexus, and don't recall any that had a separate switch.

I agree with you. For the money we pay, it's not more than a couple of lines to put in.

Why? Seems silly to have to separate them. Does it save gas? No. Does it make the trip faster? No.
Does it add to complexity? Yes. Does it add more clutter to the dash? Yes.

One touch worked on my last dozen or so cars.

My 2012 TL didn't have it.

They had a special control on my Audi SQ 5 for the side mirror defrost

That's a weird Honda quirk - I've never seen another brand with separate mirror heat switches.
