I have had my Magnum RT since last May and never realized untill yesterday the outside mirrors were heated! Way cool! BH

 

Hey how did you find out you have heated mirrors? I have no clue if I do or not on my RT

 

Heated outside mirrors are standard on the RT RWD and AWD. See the DCX site:

How do you turn on the Heated Mirrors? It was raining a couple weeks ago and was cold enough to use them, but there seems to be no button for these. Do they automatically come on with the Defroster? My mirrors do not have have the symbol on them that the rest of the vehicles have with the Heated Mirrors. Nor did I see it as an option or standard equipment on the link listed above by Pentagon Magnum. Are you sure these are Heated Mirrors? Please provide more information or a more detailed link to show this option.

 

Powered heated fold away mirrors- RT
Says it right on the window sticker.
They heat up when the rear window defrost button is activated.

 

Damn, what else does this thing have that I don't know about?

And Bob, why are you still driving around with your Window Sticker on? [&:]

Fold Away Mirrors? Em Ef Er... I didn't know that. I will have to go and check that one out right away....

 

Yeah the mirrors are fold away. I can attest to that. I went through a car wash two weeks ago to get all the crap off my car from the snow. Well this SUV goes in before me and doesn't fold his mirrors in and has no problems. So i figured I should be fine by a mile. Nope I was wrong. The Spinning brushes helped fold away my mirrors for me. The wrong way of course. So Now when I go through I have to fold them away. Who would have thought our car was so damn wide

 

Magnum R/T Hemi, the link should show under the category of "Convenience/Safety Features" the title of "Power Heated Foldaway exterior mirrors" and under the RT is listed and "S"...just so you know.

Also, a word of warning about those lovely car washes with the brushes: Don't do it if you value your Magnum! I have taken it through 3 of them and each time my car was devalued (I'm a slow learner, and assumed each was a fluke). First time, I got a deep cut-in swirl mark on the hood to the primer. Second time I got a long scuff up my hood with a chip at the end. Third time my rear windshield wiper got pulled back too far and broke the plastic guard off. NEVER AGAIN for me!

 

The Magnum has a stated width of 74.1 inches wide. I was wondering if that includes both side view mirrors extended?

I have a relatively narrow tree lined drive, so I want to make sure it will fit without having to retract the mirrors.

Thanks
