Default Heated mirrors?

I have a 04 SS Touring and I was wondering if I have heated mirrors? I think I saw it listed as a feature somewhere. If I do have this feature how do I turn it on?

According to Nissan's website you do have heated mirrors.
I have it too, and if I remember it correctly, in my manual it says that when you turn on the rear defrosters, the heated mirrors turn on as well... so there's no specific button just for the mirrors.

Does this also apply to the 03 Track models.

Actually, the if you look at the price difference and then look at the cost of an 18" wheel upgrade from the 17's (2 to 3K) and a brake kit uprade (3K easily), the Track isn't a bad package. And how many race "track" cars do you know of have heated seats and side view mirrors?

The best way to tell if you have heated side mirrors is to turn on your rear defroster for 5 minutes and touch the side mirrors. The glass should be much warm to the touch. That's how I found out if mine still worked after someone clipped it on a bicycle and folded outwards.

Positive i do... just used them earlier today coming into underground parking from the heavy rain. I have a canadian model though by the way, and our line-up here is pretty different. We only have 3 models, performance, touring, track pack.
There's no base model (the models you guys have w/ 17" wheels and no hid, etc)
Performance and touring are identical... fully loaded, except that the touring is the automatic model. (both have heated mirrors)
Our track pack is your track pack

Link to Nissan canada Z page in case anyone's bored. If you click on the specs link you'll notice the only difference between performance and touring is the transmission and vdc (or lack there-of).

Don't you hate it when that happens? It drives me crazy to read some of the incoherently written posts here, so I try very hard to write with proper structure and grammar. Sometimes though, my grammatical-lobe just isn't functioning properly!

What were we talking about? Oh yeah, heated mirrors....Carry on!

Well it was a huge waste of money in my part for getting the track model. I changed out my Ray's Wheels, Brembo Brake System, LSD, I no longer have the bose system (eventhough it sucks anyway), I no longer am able to use Cruise Control, can't use VDC, my slip light is on for ummmmEVER, my airbag light is flashing - so that means that my side curtains are useless AND I just find out that I don't have side heated windows?

Some one... please shoot me. Seriously, why didn't I just get the lower model?
