Heated mirrors would rock.
I monitor my water temp with my Scangauge and it's usually around 90C once the car is fully warmed up.
The weird thing is that I've seen the temp swing anywhere from 83 to 104 and the dash gauge never moves. (uhm)

On mine is an hair lower than halfway. And yes, the engine warms up almost instantly. I'm already appreciating it here in Eastern Mass..... The V6 on my old '97 Dodge Stratus ES would take forever in winter.
By the way, I just got a '06 S Touring 5-door manual. Heated seats and automatic climate control are standard only on the Grand Touring. Not even the Grand Touring has heated door mirror, though. Too bad, even the Stratus had those.
On the other hand, you get a ton of other stuff on the Grand Touring vs. the Touring for just $1,500 more (sticker).

tsunami said:i thought i remember some one saying they had heated mirrors... eh, maybe it was the guy from iceland or just wishful thinking, as heated mirrors do rock...
I have heated side mirrors on my car - 05 Mazda3 GT.
They come on when I push the rear defrost button....

That's strange indeed...
Where is this scanguage taking it temp reading from? I'm assuming it has it's own sensor mounted somewhere?

I think you are right, it is the guy from Iceland that wrote he had heated mirrors, I noticed that too.
Maybe you have to live above a certain latitude to get them (rofl2)
Canada, Iceland... do I see a pattern here?

No, the ScanGauge doesn't have any of its own sensors. It just plugs into the OBD II connector and reads off of the computer.
It is possible that the dash gauge and the computer read from two different sensors, though. That's pretty common.
