I got those but really don't need them here in tx.

I think it was part of the luxury package . Not sure if it's standard

It should be standard since it's part of the defroster feature. Fuse? The only thing you would not have is the front windsield deicer which is standard for the Canada cars.

The side mirror defroster will work at the same time when you use the rear (notice the button for it has two icons in it).

Thanks for your inputs.

Mine is 2008 IS350. Do i have to turn on rear defroster to have sidemirror heated? Early cold morning, my sideview mirrors are foggy.

Yes they are turned on at the same time. There is a mirror symbol on the switch as well.

Heated is standard. Lux Pkg mirrors are auto-dim and tilt down too.

is it plug and play to put the auto mirrors on the lower class or is it similar to the sunshade where it’s mostly plug and play but sometimes needs little extra modification

No help here, but I wish to gripe.
Heating mirrors all the time means everything dries on. I've never had to clean mirrors on a car as often as this one. Everything dries on and some days (it's damp here), it only takes a week before they need cleaned.

The auto mirrors are much more difficult to retrofit than the sunshade. They're tied in with the memory seat/steering system. It would be quite involved to add them.
