Retrofit heated windscreen help
Hi, i had my windscreen crack the other day by sumthing hitting it on the motorway the other day. Was wondering if anyone has any info on retrofitting a heated screen? Iv got a 2018 startline. Is it easy or not worth the bother?

Re: Retrofit heated windscreen help
The screen itself will be a straight swap.
Then you need either ..
a heater panel (with the screen button on )
or
a standalone OE screen button that goes in the switch bank down by the gearstick, and mini loom for it
And a heated screen loom, relay and fuse (I sell these)

The blank switch was for the heated rear windows that i dont have.

Yes you can use the rear switch , Ideal really if you don't have a rear screen, as heated seat AND windscreen panels are scarce , and expensive.
