Exclamation No Heated Mirrors on GX470?

My 2008 GX does not seem to have heated mirrors, I guess it is possible the mirrors were broken and replaced with non-heated aftermarkets. I find it very hard to believe a luxury vehicle would not come standard with something as basic as heated mirrors.

Maybe I am just not seeing the switch, normally it would be combination rear windshield/mirror defrost. We had a Nissan pathfinder with heated mirrors, there must be something I am missing here.

If there are no heated mirrors standard, is there some kind of retrofit or aftermarket mirror that could be added?

As he said. Middle of lower row of switches on that auxilliary panel, right under the rheostat that controls the brightness of the dash lights.

Thanks, found it, I always forget about that panel there. Every other vehicle I've had the mirrors were activated in combination with the rear defrost (same button). Also discovered you have to press and hold to disable RSCA.

Yup, my Tundra is the same, but the GX had to be different. Oh well, good to know it has them at least, right?!
