Can a Small Round Mirror Be Attached to a Heated Rearview Mirror?

Can a small round mirror be attached to a heated rearview mirror? Yes, because the small round mirror does not affect the use of the heating function. Here are some precautions for using rearview mirrors: 1. When adjusting the up and down position of the right rearview mirror: The ground area should be larger, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror surface, while the left and right positions should be adjusted so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the area. 2. When adjusting the left rearview mirror: The up and down position should place the distant horizon in the center, and the left and right positions should be adjusted so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror surface. 3. In snowy or foggy weather: If the rearview mirror is covered with snow, ice, or fog, wiping it repeatedly may not clean it properly. After modifying or installing a spherical mirror, although the field of view is widened, the reflection in the rearview mirror may be severely distorted, hindering accurate judgment of the real distance between vehicles.
My car's rearview mirror also has a heating function, and here's how I deal with it: You can stick a small round mirror, but you have to choose the right position. My experience is to stick it on the outer edge of the mirror, not blocking the main heating area in the middle. Previously, I stuck it randomly in the middle, and in winter when it snowed, half of the rearview mirror always had fog that wouldn't clear. Later, I moved it to the lower left corner, and it worked fine. You also need to choose good-quality glue. Ordinary double-sided tape can't withstand the temperature of the heating plate and will come off or bubble. It's been over half a year now, and it hasn't fallen off, and the view is clear. However, you still need to turn on the heating function in advance before driving, especially in rainy or snowy weather, to allow time for the moisture around the small round mirror to evaporate.
