Anybody investigate adding heated mirrors to 07?
I could see the benefit of adding heated mirrors to my 07 hatch. In the US, there are finally the OEM replacement parts available for the mirror elements themselves. Has anyone bought these and played around? Looks like the mirror itself is a snap replacement part, but would the heated ones be a direct replacement, except for wiring? Anyone have the wiring diagram for how they are hooked into the rear defroster circuit on a 2010 model? Thanks, winter is approaching!

I've thought about adding heated mirrors as well. Especially this morning when I was driving to work and my mirrors were all frosted up. I too have an '07 HB. Would this be a simple install? Do the heater elements mount behind the existing mirrors, or do I have do get new mirrors with elements already installed?

Do a web search for "heated mirror kit" and you'll find plenty.
Here's a DIY that someone did for a Tacoma, using motorcycle grip heaters. It shows nicely what's involved in pulling the mirrors apart (they Yaris mirrors are mounted the same way), running the wires through the door, and wiring them. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd...d-mirrors.html |

A spray bottle of De-Icer cost me $2.50 at walmart this morning. I believe I also had to pay tax.

Sorry FOR Reviving But I just opened my door to install my led side mirrors for my 09 hb and I saw that my mirrors are already hooked up with one... CTScOTT do you know where I can hook this up just by using my defroster switch?

If they are present, they are probably already hooked up and they do work with the defroster switch. I think on other discussions on here, others mentioned that 09+ Yaris in Canada have the mirror heaters.

That violet wire goes to pin 11 of Connector 4M of the under dash fuse panel. From there they go through the 10A ID/UP/MIR HTR Fuse in the fuse box under the bottom of the dash. That fuse is fed from the defroster relay and at that point (internally to the under dash fuse panel) is connected to the rear window defroster (which connects via black wire to pin 2 of connector 4F).

Sorry to res. Scott, would it be safe to connect mirror heaters directly to the line feeding the defrosters? Or are the defrosters fed from a different source

It would be fine to hook them up with the defrosters, as that is how the OEM ones are wired. Mirror heaters are very low wattage heaters.

Oh, one more thing: could I ground it to the power mirror wires? That way I only have to run one wire through my door to the electrical panel right?

I'm putting this mod on the to-do list, behind the supercharger, gauges, amp, HID conversion, wiring the fogs, and mounts to move the passenger seat further back.
