Another day of rain.....

Coming from a VAG car, I could put de electrical switch in the middle and the heated mirrors work at any temperature.

The heated mirrors are connected to the rear defroster. As long as the rear defrost is on, the heated mirrors will be on.

Still struggling with the heated mirrors. It's just not safe.
The problem is the outside temperature above the 'stupid' values of JLR and downgrading the percentage of heating.

See this screenshot

Changing these values ( to 100% temperature independant and switch off time longer ) would be very welcome.

@stevemfr. Could you take a look with the IID GAP tool ? No Mud flaps for my 90.!

I don't think it downgrades the % of heating - just the time they stay on.

10-25C is 25% so 5 minutes.

You should just be able to turn them on again.

In my opinion they are not fully heated in the Summer.

And Yes it can rain / drizzle a lot in the Summer above 25 degrees Celsius.
So turning it on 12 times an hour because the mirrors will be constant receive new raindrops.
It just doesn't work, I need to concentrate on the traffic.
Driving with my VW T5 in rain in the summer on German autobahn the heated mirrors can be turned on and will be constant heated and raindrops disappear very quickly . Good view through dry mirrors even with high speeds

( Ps. I don't have the clearsight rear view mirror ) No Mud flaps for my 90.!

lt's most likely configurable using the GAP diagnostics tool.

Hopefully it will be available soon.

My 90 had its PPF added 2 weeks ago and I asked the detailers if they could recommend anything that might stop bugs from staying stuck on the front screen. Whatever they applied (I can find out for you if you want) has worked really well at repelling the rain water to the extent that I almost don’t need the wipers! Less effective at preventing stuck in bugs though……. Might be worth trying that on the wing/ side mirrors rather than heating. My previous 2 x Evoques and the last Sport I owned all had factory fitted water repellent glass on the front side windows which was also very effective but LR appears to have stopped fitting that glass finish. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Rain X on side windows and mirrors is a must, will sort this out unless they are frosted....

Agree, Rain-x works a treat. Thumbs Up Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.
