Reading the Camry vs. Prius post got me thinking, do I have electric folding mirrors and don't even know it? It's an '07 Pkg. 5. Does anyone know if I have them? If so, how do you operate?

While everything seasalsa said was true (they do fold, and are electrically heated), i believe the answer to your question is no, they are not electronic folding mirrors. there is no button to push to cause the mirrors to fold in by then selves. Like many other cars, they will fold when pushed, and even lock in that position until you pull them out again.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(silentak1 @ Nov 14 2006, 07:45 PM) [snapback]349296[/snapback]</div> right
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(silentak1 @ Nov 15 2006, 03:45 AM) [snapback]349296[/snapback]</div> We don't have them in the UK It's not like our glorious country is ever damp or cold.
What do you mean by 2nd generation? I got my 06 on Sept 29th of this year if that helps determine if its 2nd generation or not.

So I have heated mirrors? FRICKIN SWEET!!!! I plan on trying that out the 2nd it gets cold and/or I go back to CT which ever happens first. I'm in MD and it hasn't gotten cold here (at least to me it hasn't) so I haven't had the chance to even put the defroster on.
