Our XLT (no BLIS) has them.
There is no switch for them they just come on when the rear defroster is turned on.
There is a little emblem on the mirror that looks like a flame to signify the heated mirrors.

Looking at this https://www.1aauto.com/mirror/i/1amr...1145981&y=2017 these mirrors will only work with vehicles with the OE folding mirrors?
Is this a wiring thing, or can it be overcome with FORScan?

As for the folding, it needs to be hard wired in. I'm not good with ForScan, but this kit has a supplemental switch that needs to be powered and connected. That's not a big deal for me but I don't think there's any way around it.
Someone had asked about the passenger mirror distortion, and now that I have had them a while, it definitely is noticeable but I'm getting used to it.
I don't know about the heated function as I haven't really needed it yet. There has not been any indicators lit up on the mirror, but then again my sent on my 2010 did not have them either.

No versions with the side blinker lights and heated in the 8-pin?
My current ones are auto-dim, heated and with side blinker lights, (manual fold, no BLIS or Spotlight) - it looks like the only 8-pin mirror they offer isn't heated and without blinker lights.

I finally have them wired up for the folding, but haven't figured out the spot lights and puddle lights yet. As soon as I can get a video taken I will post it up.

Where did you mount the switch for the power fold ? How hard was it to do ? Please post pics when you can .

Hey guys - sorry for the delay in responding, I've been out of town again and finally have them pretty much wired up. I have not figured out the wiring for the puddle lamps yet, but that's not a big deal for me at this time. I'll be honest, it has taken more time than expected, but I can only assume / hope that 1A Auto will have their typical installation video finalized by the time these are released.
Here's a link to them operating, and with the spot lights now working too.

I still haven't mounted them....... but based on what I can see so far, they will most likely go next to the pedal / e-brake switch under the steering wheel.
I'll try to get some additional pics for you, I'd think they would be about the same dimensions as the Ford tow mirrors but will post that up too.
