Don,

I've noticed that on my '95 A3 the mirrors only heat when I press the defroster switch 
in conjunction with the rear window defroster.  The reason why I know this is because 
when it's cold outside with ice on the mirrors they don't defrost until I activate the 
defroster switch.  My car also came with heated windshield sprayer nozzles but I do not 
have heated seats.   I think the car may have been a late '94 that was classified as a  
'95 because I've noticed that the car had unusual options that the other Jetta's later 
on didn't have.  I've had many other VW's (all from Germany) but never seen such a 
variation from car to car.  Why does VW change the way they equip the car so differently 
from car to car?
