Heated side mirror summer time
Hi,
Does heated side mirror work for summer when temperature is higher? I found these days turned-on heated mirror is not displayed on cockpit for Energy Consumer view. Is there any sensor to turn on/off depending on the temperature? |
The mirror only operates below a certain temperature.
|
I was wondering that the same thing. The past couple of weeks my mirrors were wet from the morning dew. I turned on the heaters to dry/clear them and I didn't think they were working. In my Acura, the mirrors would automatically heat if my rear defroster was on and it would clear them. I wish that was the case with Audi.
|
They are thermostatically controlled. There is a sensor in the mirror and once the temp is above the set point (set by some Audi engineer) the mirror heaters do not turn on.
|
Thank you for the answers. Very good to know that.
|
Glad we could help.

I've noticed its only able to turn on if its below around 65F outside. So on rainy spring or summer days, I would have to wipe the mirrors before heading out and when backing up into my narrow driveway..
