Question Hatch STi, heated wing mirrors as std?

Hi,

Got an 08 Hatch Sti a couple of months ago and was wondering if anyone knows if it should have heated mirrors at standard or if they were an option? My bugeye WRX had them so I assumed the hatch would?! confused:

TIA

Ian

Hatch STI doesn't have heated mirrors, However you can make them heated if you so wish to strip your mirrors down etc and put wires in & change the glass

Doesn't the 330S ( and Euro STi's ? ) have heated mirrors linked to the front windscreen heated defrost?

Query. . It looks like I have a heated front screen, well there are elements around the windscreen wipers, but how do I turn it on? Is it linked to the window blowers?

They all work from the rear window heated switch, or did on my JDM Hatch.
