I have never had it confirmed but I believe if you can either have folding mirrors or heated mirrors but not the two together. So if you dont have folding mirrors chances are they are heated, which would make the most sense on a UK car where the weather is always crp.

 

As for fitting them afterwards, Im sure its possible but whether the wires are all there I dont know.

It's a different panel but it's virtually impossible to source new in the UK. The UK panel is available but has 3 cut-outs and blanks were made but, again, virtually impossible to source. Probably due to the fact that the UK car utilises all three switch holes.

Oi, you sarky bunch, of course it's electrically folding on my j-spec.  Whadya think I am, some sort of Ford Orion owner?!?

 

Big fat rocker switch on the dash.  Extremely useful if your garage entrance is the same width as the car.

 

The heating of the wing mirrors takes place when you switch on the rear window demister.  There is no seperate switch.

hi

 

i have supra tt auto 96 jap spec

 

i dont know which supra model i have

 

got the folding electric mirrors but when i got the clifford alarm fitted asked the instaler that i wanted them to fold in when i arm or disarm the alarm

works a treat

 

when i do the remote engine it sends an ignition feed and opens mirrors and starts car up from inside house

cool trick to start car off remote on a cold uk morning

 

the thing is he also tokk the switch out from inside the car it was next to the traction control button under cd double din box

 

i would like to know which version supra i have got

do not know the difference between gz rz s  versions

 

thing is i dont have cruise control neither :(

 

i did not think to check when i got car i thought with it been a supra tt it would have it on

i had a uk mk3 3l turbo  that had it on

 

and so did my manual mitsubishi gto tt

 

i do miss cruise control

 

also missed heated mirrors  used to have on astra gte years ago

 

dont think my supra has them on

 

will have to try the heated rear window option see if it is in with that

like the previous post was saying

 

the supra makey you smile when you drive it

 

loads of people  stare when you drive down street

It ain't a GZ, probably something like an RZ. The GZs hav electric front spoiler, leather and Cruise control.

To tell if it is a facelift: On the dash, the last place should hav 3 seperate dials, inc a batt meter, which older cars did not hav.

Another simple thing is the indicators. If they are on the side of the front bumper instead of in front of the door, it is a facelift.

There are other things aswell, so say if u still don't know.
