My VRMS6 sport did not come with heated mirrors. In this cold weather it seems like a worthwhile mod for my car so I researched on how to get this... Found that thru a vendor I could get the complete heated mirror assy for $105 shipped per side new. This would be a OEM part with the housing painted in factory color. I could not pass up such a good deal and ordered them today.... Will post pics when they arrive... Link to vendor for those who want to look into doing this upgrade.... http://onlinemazdaparts.com/ Jason is super cool to deal with....

I have an MS3 GT and miss the heated mirrors in my VW GTi. Florida has a TON of fog around where I live in the mornings so this would be a great add on.

Looking forward to hearing how this works out.

Do your mirrors fog up or something? I've never had any problems with previous cars and frankly don't notice the benefit on my MS6 GT. I certainly would not pay extra for them...the heated seats, however, are a different story. They are worth every penny spent.

They fog up alot over here. Also being further south we dont get alot of snow but do get the occasional ice storm. Heated mirrors in this area make sense....

Oh I definitely have them...I've seen the snow melt off them when I don't clean them off....but I've never had a fogging issue before on any of my cars.

Well I turned on my rear defrost and it melted the snow off my back windshield but nothing on my mirrors which I still had to scrape, I think I'll be paying my dealer a visit to find out why this is as I have a GT but no heated mirrors.
