I don't think I've ever seen a vehicle with a button for just the mirrors. It's usually on when you choose the rear window defrost or turn the windshield defroster on.

We own a Honda Civic and there is a separate heating switch for the mirrors. I guess that's why I was looking for one for the mirrors on my truck.

Parking in the garage takes care of this problem in the morning... While people who park outside are scraping their windows from the morning frost, I'm driving past them in my warm and cozy truck.

My 13 YO daughter discovered the power rear window feature about 3 hours after I brought the truck home. She calls it "Dad's Hi-Tech redneck button" I thought it was a garage door opener or something.

I love the thing being open all the time and to clear the hot air in the summer before the AC goes on. Just wish it had an auto close feature when you lock the doors or an "all windows closed" button somewhere.
Real easy to forget its open.
Now the cruise control is another story. Pretty worthless where it's at IMHO. I would trade my radio functions or messaging center buttons out and put the cruise on the face of the steering wheel.
