The heated mirror function is present on most new car models. But on earlier or budget versions this option may not be provided. In this case, owners wonder whether it is possible to assemble heated rear-view mirrors with their own hands. After all, the system allows you to effectively remove ice, snow, and raindrops that impair visibility while driving.
You can install heating on any car, the main thing is to select suitable heating elements and connect the circuit correctly.
Turning on the heated mirrors
By retrofitting the mirrors with heating or by installing heated mirror elements.
The question arises how to activate the heated mirrors. The main options are: 1. Rear window heating relay.
In this case, the heated mirrors are turned on by a button together with the heated rear window. And this is, in principle, a fairly common standard mode for many car manufacturers. True, the rear window heating timer lasts at least 15 minutes, when in most cases the mirrors need no more than 5. At the same time, I use the heated rear window mainly in winter, while the heated mirrors help perfectly at any time of the year, in the morning or in the rain.
2. Connect directly with wires (temporarily)
