yes it was an option in canada, usually the drivers seat only.  the control
was on the upper steering column cover.  canadian listmember pedro dos santos
has the heated drivers seat on his '91 vanagon.   and ps - ALL vanagons with
power mirrors have the heating element in the power mirrors.  if you've got
power mirrors, then youve got heated mirrors..  unless youre like me and you
just stuck the power mirrors on there from another van and never hooked them
up.. :<)
