1) The Dodge Data Book scan on the Hamtramck shows remote mirror as standard (see attached). I'm going to ASSUME then that this was changed at some point from standard to optional item. Would be great to see a dealer notice of this but odds of that are pretty slim.
2) Agreed never the case in my experience, though I think some of the prior years did have something and no doubt it was dropped to save a buck.
