Guys,
I busted my mirror on the passenger side. 08 is250, auto-dimming and heated.

Looked at Sewell and heated mirror $350(a lot)

Trying to call junk-yards, but some of them say they all Heated, but i know for sure that they not ALL heated.

I read somewhere, that heated mirrors have a 14 wires plug.

Can someone confirm????

and how to tell from outside looking(without opening) if mirror is heated.

Also, i heard that it's a pain in the "back" to replace just a mirror, any1 has advise??
or can point me to right thread??

or should i take it to mechanic ???
Thanks.

 

Check on ebay, or post a Want to Buy in the classified section. Usually lower prices. I sold an extra heated mirror earlier this year.

 

All 2IS models are equipped with heated mirrors in North America. Yes, all of them.

Is that price with the CL discount?

In most cases replacing the whole mirror is not too bad of a job. The pain looks to be when you want to change the light or something inside of the mirror when you have to take it all apart.

I would think that in order to replace it, you would have remove a panel inside the door (by the tweeter, speaker, window) to get access to the bolt(s). Then unplug the electrical connection.

I replaced one on my Honda Accord and it was fairly simple. Of course, this is not a Honda Accord but it has to be relatively simple, most, if not all of the mirrors are similar and likely connected similarly.

 

I did the same on a Pilot--but it was super easy because you didn't need to remove the inside door panel. But I agree--once you get the panel off, it's probably a few screws, and plugging in a wiring harness.

 

Yep, sorry, I said panel but it could be as simple as the little triangular plastic piece by the mirror inside the window. Once you find the trim piece and remote it, you should see the screws holding it on. I hope you don't have to take off the entire door panel.

 

I replaced a rear view mirror. Dealer had to remove the door panel.

 

If you replace the entire mirror assembly, its too expensive. Then if you need to paint it, the paint might not match 100%

To replace just the mirror, you have to remove the old mirror by popping it out, pulling on the bottom. Then you disconnect the wires. Then you connect wires to old mirror, then pop in new mirror from top to bottom. You do NOT need to remove any panel nor access the door.

 

my drivers side mirror does not heat...and by heat i mean it does not remove the condensation. any advice to what might be wrong?

 

Are you 100% SURE???

How come Sewell charges $250 for regular and $350 for heated???

Yes, I am 100% sure. There are some other countries that do not have heated class (like Taiwan). These countries are included in the USA/Canada catalogs, but do not apply to our vehicles.

There are only 2 choices for USA/Canada: Auto-dimming or not.

EDIT: Page BE-238 of the 2006 2IS NCF Book NM0140U:

what the hell is a heated mirror. never knew that. so its just always automatically heated?

 

It's linked to the rear defogger. If you look at the rear defog button on your climate control, you'll notice there are actually 2 symbols on it. The back glass and the mirror.

In some cars it is only included in Cold-Area spec vehicles or similar, while others have it included in more models.

I use/enjoy it frequently in Canada, haha.

That's for the convex mirror - a specialty mirror. You need to look at part number 87931.

edit: but in your case, you have auto-dimming also. The part I provided is for heated only.
