The new 2005 CRV SE has heated seats and mirrors. My wife has always complained about the lack of heated mirrors in her 2003 EX, so I would like to retrofit them. I looked up the parts on here and it looks like I can order just the heated base (actuator) and glass. But I don't know if it will plug right in, or if the SE has any special swtiches, wiring, or relays to control it. I would assume the heat is either always on or comes on with the defroster. But my Acura used to have a little button that activated the heat. Anyone know if there is more to it, or can I just order the actuator and glass?

 

your going to need to get the heated mirrors (complete) as the heating element is on the glass itself. it will plug right in but your plug will lack the 2 wires ground and +12 for the heater so you either have to add the pins or get a plug for heated mirrors and splice it in or extract the needed pins ,also the mirror switch with the heater button is needed or you can tie it to your rear def.
