I have a 2016 Premier and a 2017 LT that I purchased from CarMax.

CarMax listed the options included with each car but upon changing out the side view mirror glass that an idiotic motorcyclist decided to punch out, found out that the side mirrors on the 2017 LT are in fact heated. Since I didn't know this, I scraped up one of the elements as I took out the old broken glass. It's a moot point, since the new glass will not be heated by the elements very well since it will be sitting on double sided adhesive strips, isolating it from the heating elements. (I've since purchased a new heated mirror from CheapestGMParts.com)

Anyhow, my question is, is there a way to find out what options came with the car from the factory by entering my VIN somewhere? I would never have guessed I had heated mirrors on a base-model car.

Thanks for all your help

I just checked vehiclehistory.com and it said that the 2017 LT does not have heated mirrors (which I just found out it does) whereas the same site states that the 2016 Premiere does have heated mirrors (which I cannot verify).

Is it possible that though the 2017 had heated mirrors installed with wires attached is actually not functional?

Chevrolet used to print the orginal build sheet that came with the car as a service. The car had to be 10 years and under. Take the VIN number to the parts department of a Chevrolet dealer and they SHOULD be happy to help you.

Look on the inside of the glove box door. There is a label affixed that lists ALL the RPO codes on your vehicle. Once you have them it's a simple matter of Googling for their descriptions.

Nice tip! That's a great and foolproof solution.
