Muth Company, LLC

Turning up the Heat
Muth Mirror Systems has developed a new upgrade module for its automotive line of Signal Mirrors. The Heated Mirrors on Demand (H-MOD) allows owners of vehicles with Signal Mirror kits to install an after-market heated mirror option. Heated mirrors offer additional safety by clearing mirrors of frost, snow or condensation to allow a driver to have a clearer view, and thus a safer driving experience. The driver can activate the H-MOD by simply flipping a switch, which can be mounted on the dashboard for easy access. Professional installation is recommended.
