Does anyone actually have the heated fold away mirrors? My sticker says I have the heated mirrors but Im not sure I actually have them. I have had to scrape frost off of them 3 times this winter.

The only Patriots with heated mirrors are the Euro models (for some odd reason... guess Canadians don't need it or anything since it never snows here? ). If your sticker sheet does say that yours comes with heated mirrors though, you'll be able to go back to your dealership and complain to the salesperson and you can usually get some free accessories out of the deal (many members from here have done that).
No one has them. There are a couple of threads dealing with trying to get them installed and also someone else had the same thing you did, sticker saying they had them and actually did not.

I have the electric auto folding heated mirrors and I do use them. The folding part is much more useful as I have a narrow driveway and it means I can park the jeep easier with them folded in.
The switch is on the drivers door, it's probably the same in US versions. We have a round know that you twist to let you control the angle of the mirrors. You twist it 180 degrees and the mirrors fold in.
You can sort of see it in this picture below the door handle on the right.
ok, so I would need a new door skin (if they made a left sided one) as well as the mirrors. Another option I could do is I do not have heated seats so I could put the button in its place possibly too.
I think this could be a cool and useful mod, especially being in Germany the parts should be readily available to me.
