Snow topic

[bigblueboing]

Ok I’m here in Utah in the snow. I have a black diamond trim. Why the heck did they not put heated mirrors and heated seats on the dang trim named after a difficult ski run? I thought I would not notice when I ordered. But now I’m just frustrated.
please post best options for adding heated seats or heated mirrors.
yes I know I should’ve added it to the order but I’m a year in now.

Mirrors, Sideview - Heated, Power Glass

Mine come on with defrost i think. You should have it, it's standard


And i think the heated seats come with mid package. I don't have them on base, can't get mid package on a base. Need to go up to big bend to add mid.
I was thinking of adding the heating elements under the seat covers and wiring into an aux switch, probably need to use a relay, but it hasn't really been a cold winter and i haven't really needed it.

I have used a sheepskin cover in the past, that worked really well too, might get you by

If you need something asap, they have heated seat covers you lay on seats and plug into car cig lighter, no instal required

Just checked the Bronco order guide, heated mirrors are standard beginning with the Base trim level. The button looks like:

Adding heated seats shouldn't be to difficult. I'd start looking at auto upholstery shops, or shops that install aftermarket remote starts--a lot of them in my area also offer heated seat installation.

Adding heated seats should be snow big deal…

I have found that my soft-top badlands with no rear window has a rear defroster switch and that controls the heated mirrors.

I'll have to check the heated mirror thing switching with the rear defroster, that would be nice.
I did order some seat heater kits from Amazon that have everything you'd need, but haven't installed them yet. Another local base Bronco guy had his installed at an upholstery shop and he said it ran =/- $300 to get it done. So far it hasn't been that cold here and the cloth seats don't freeze your butt off like vinyl or leather.

I have the high package with the heated seats and they are great. I only got them for my wife and now can’t live without them.

Black Diamond is also a name for a lump of coal.

The 2021 order guide shows heated mirrors are standard on all trim levels. I posted a pic earlier of the switch.

I paid a local shop $300 for adding heat to the front seats on my BD, then had them do the same on my base.

This is interesting because I don’t see the switch anywhere.

No heated mirrors but BLISS is nice. The hated seats are nuts how warm they get. North central Wisconsin here so we get snow too so far I haven’t been concerned with the mirrors but I also park in a garage at night.
