2020 heated windshield

I'm sure this only affects a very small group but figured I would share. My 2020 had the battery drain issue, the fix was a programming change. After I got my first window replaced I verified it was heated. When I went into forscan to make some changes I noticed the windshield heater was disabled. This may have been from the prior issue so u may want to check if this happened to you.

I've never heard of a heated windshield. Are you talking about the defrost on the HVAC? Or like the rear window with the heater lines?

2020's had a heated windshield with elements down by the wipers, just like the elements in the back window. They removed it sometime in 2021.

Ah. I have a 2022. I live in a warm climate, that might be why I've never heard of a vehicle with a heated windshield. Kind of useless in Phoenix, lol.

Better to have and not need, then to need and not have.

I'm loading up a tune soon , so I'll check exactly where it is. I found it when I was doing the Bambi mode, double honk , and Feng. So its somewhere around there.
