We have heated mirrors on the GTS's here in Canada.
You can throw those on when you engage the rear defrost.
Have you tried that?
If that doesn’t work then you really don’t have it. You could talk to your dealer about getting the parts from Canada and having them installed, but that would probably cost you more than you’d want to spend. Other than that I don’t know of any other place to get them. Sorry.

Here are just some aftermarket ones i found.. they wont be direct replacement, you'll have to do some modding :)

the second one you can probably take apart and just use the miror plate with heater, ditch the harness.

We have heated side mirrors? Since when? I can't recall seeing anyone on the spec sheet about that. And something as big as that would surely be mentioned...

Dead serious. When my mirrors freeze over or get fogged up after carwash, i throw the defrost on and it goes away.

I highly doubt it would be just coincidence cause I've done it many times. I'm pretty **** sure they're heated.

Yup we do, I remembering being so annoyed at first from not finding the heated mirrors but then when I notice stuff starts to melt when the defrost is on, then I realize they wired the defrost to include the mirrors.....

Just call a Canadian dealership and order the heated mirrors in your color. And then have them shipped to you.

I can assure you that you will probably get raped on prices.
I was asking for scuff plates at the dealership, and they quoted me $140 something while online on ebay or Mitusbishi-Parts.net were for $80 something.

Anyways, I got my GTS from Brampton Mitsubishi, they are ok to deal with.

I have also heard good things from Scarborough Mitsubishi. Both are in the Greater Toronto Area.

Good luck!

I guess we Canadians get heated seats/ mirrors while you guys get the Nav :(

hey would ou please let mek now about prices and shipping? and any other info they might give you? like installation and stuff. i'm pretty sure there has to be something extra to be wired up for them to work. ****. i hate the fact that we have to go through all of this crap. why can't they just offer those things here, and the nav over there. dealers... always making things so complicated..
