I have a 2012 V6 premium mustang, it has heated seats but no heated mirrors, I was wondering if it was possible to retrofit the car with the newer or older heated mirrors. Living in Canada there is icing conditions at least 5 months in the year and it can be a chore to try to scrape off a heavy coat of ice on those things, I was also wondering if the wiring is already in place to do such a conversion.

Thank you, for any information you can give me.

 

Andre', if you have a premium level it should have a rear defroster. If it's like my '13 the heated mirrors come on when you turn on the rear window defrost as they come as a pair. I may be completely wrong, don't think I am, but have you tried this?

 

Heated mirrors are only available on '13+ cars as far as I know.

 

Thanks newpony. I was just trying to find out if I knew what I was talking about. Apparently not. I just looked at my window sticker, and see the heated mirrors came with the comfort package in the '13's. Apparently an added feature put in the package after 2012. Sorry Andre', I can't answer your question.

 

Heated mirrors only come on 13+ models with comfort pack. I use to have '12 V6 with comfort pack and it was the same as yours. Heated seats but no mirrors. As far as I know no one has come up with a way to retro fit.

 

Thanks for the replies, I had the 2012 mustang for two winters but just to be sure I put the rear defroster on and the mirror glass stayed cold.

I got the parts-price list for the 2013 heated mirrors with puddle lamps and you can buy the whole assembly or individual parts including the heated mirror glass, I included the link below...

I read recently that someone who had a 2011 Mustang wanted the puddle lights and so bought some 2013 mirrors and it was just a plug-in job, no modification involved, not only did the puddle lights work but also the heated mirror, if I could get confirmation before I bought these things, it would be great.

I find it odd that ford would not even offer the heated mirrors as an option from 2010 to 2012 when all that is needed, it seems, is a heating element behind the mirror glass, all the rest being already in place !

 

I should have checked this in the beginning, but I only have 3 wires going into the mirror assembly on my 2012 mustang and the 2013 has 7 wires so I would need to change the wire harness, I give up !
