Passat B5 Heated rear screen & mirrors?

[MalcQV]

Not the best quality but it should show enough. Switch in heater pos.

Thanks for doing that.
Ours has a slightly different joystick. Its just a flat circle where you press the edges down. The left and right selector are 2 separate buttons, so I would have thought the heater button be between them.
I'm going to pop the mirror off and look for wires to be 100% sure. I suspect that they are busted, or the car really doesnt have them.

Thanks very much for your help!

The heated mirrors will come on when you turn the rear screen heater/demister on your particular model, on some audis will come on when you have the mirror selector switch in the middle and when the rear demister button is pressed on.

Thanks thats promising. If they are burnt out or need a new fuse etc then I can cope with fixing that. The car is so well equipped I'd be amazed if they didnt have them.

Our rear screen demister is great aswell. its the heated door mirrors I've been asking about.

I've removed both mirrors and found that there are wires leading to them, so they are heated.
I tested the wires and they do get power, so I guess the mirrors are at fault here. I bet they arent cheap!
