    Again not true FrankV has the V6 LS With sunroof and 8g831 has the same thing but in the ES and both don't have heated mirrors. Most likely it was just a additional option as mention previously

    Ok, if both of you are based that the mirrors don't have the "heated mirror" mark on it, no factory mirror came with that mark, just the aftermarket replacements. The mirror heater works together with the rear defroster, it does not have a separate switch of something. I double checked ASA (parts catalog) and all LS and GTZ came stock with heated mirrors (mine did). Maybe your cars had them replaced sometime in their life. If you want to make sure they are heated or not, you can either check the door and mirror wiring (heated has 5 wires in the connector, non heated has 3) or try turning on the rear defroster and touch them in a couple of minutes.

    Non OEM replacements have the "heated mirror" mark like this one:


    Peace!!

    Mine came with the heated mirrors. When I had to replace one I noticed the difference was in the 3 vs 5 wire mirror internals, like HondaKillerGTZ posted.
