Hello Everyone,
I'm Adam, and my wife and I are new '09 G6 owners as of 10:30 last night!
We bought the GT Sedan in the Diamond White. It looks great!
I have two questions for you all. I did a search and could not find much about either.
1) We can get some nasty snow and ice in Ohio and I was wondering if there was such a thing as heated mirrors for this car? Or if there was something that would help with those in the cold wet weather (rain-x etc.).
2) I regards to the USB port on the stereo. The book says that on 1st-3rd generation nanos work. We have a 4th gen...will that work? We also have a iPod mini, is that useless with the USB?
Thanks!!

1. No factory heated mirrors that I'm aware of. I would think you would find that out before you bought the car, but that's just me...

I would say no to rain-x. It can cause more problems than what it does, so don't bother, just make sure to put your wipers up when you get snow or ice and you should be fine.

2. I image it'll work, but plug it in and try, that's the best way to find out

Congrats on the new G6 purchase!

As KB G6 said, heated mirrors are not an option, at least that I've seen. I wouldn't suggest RainX as I've had issues with it in the past. As far as the USB port, I'd try it and see. The worst that could happen is that it blows up

Enjoy your car.

Thanks

Thank you both for the reply. I will give the rain-x a try on the mirrors. I appreciate the info!

Just curious, what's the issue(s) with Rain-X

And to the OP, what a sucky color to get on a car

I've had horrible luck trying to get the stuff back off.

Yea, I'd never ever get a car that color:bravo:

A white G6, yuck!


Welcome BTW.

When I used my wipers and it wasn't a torrent of rain it'd streak like crazy.

Thanks for the welcome to all!
Sorry you all don't approve of the color...I'll be sure to check with you next time

I don't think the G6 came in a straight up white. Wifie's 6 isn't the same "white" as yours but its def not just white.
J/K bout the yuck part, I dare not say my favorite G6 color.

Don't worry after a few days in the OH winter you'll find out that your white car is actually gray from all the salt on the road.

Welcome to the G6 nation! I have not seen any heated mirrors available. I think my GTP would have came with them if they were available.

I hear you there. It will be in a garage thankfully, but we like our winter roads extra salty in Ohio!
The color is actually a white tricoat. So there is a mixture of colors...they call it white diamond, I think. It kinda changes colors depending on the lighting and how you are looking at it.

Good thing we never get salty roads here in Tropical NJ
