IIRC heated screens are only found on Fords and Landrovers, something
to do with licencing/patents?

Wife has a fiesta - the little wires in the screen really show in some
lighting conditions.


The only time I really notice them is in near whiteout conditions
when your eyes can only find one thing to focus on... Might get a bit
of glint occasionally.

But that minor thing is well worth it to just being able to start up,
push a button, wait 30 seconds and clear the screen with the wipers.
Esp. on a DII were reaching to the middle of the screen with a
scraper is a bit of stretch.
