    Default Heated exterior mirrors question

    Hi to everyone

    Just installed a pair of M3 style exterior mirrors which got the heated element in it.

    Should the mirrors be always hot when engine is running and when when ignition is on. I did not have heated mirrors previously and am a bit confused about its operation.

    anyone can help?

    thanks

    My 92 with inclement weather package has heated mirrors... they are on all the time. This is their standard operating mode.

    Yup, they go on with the ignition (technically after the engine starts.)
