Why is it i have heated front screen....i can see that in the actual window...but i have no button in the cabin to activate a heated front screen....

Puzzled...

If you have a button it will be below the prog button, next to the heat control dial

There is no button wizking. But 100% a heated screen fitted. I read that when you press the prog button that it activates the screen too....i have no idea whats going on here...

It could quite possibly that you have had a replacement screen fitted and they used a heated model that is simply not connected to anything?

Occasionally if people need a windscreen replacement they retro-fit a heated one if they didn't have one before and then try and work out how to wire it up. In the UK the Heated Screen was standard fitment on the HSE, if it was the same in Finland, you should have the button.

This is taken out of a 2007 owners manual, where the button should be is number 6 if a screen was originally factory fitted

I have a 2007 HSE and the heated screen button is right beneath the PROG button, as shown in the diagram above. I wouldn't have thought that the German version would be any different.

Weird.. 2007 HSE also... Can see the screen is heated.. 1000% no button ...grrrrr

Remove inner A-pillar cover and check if the wiring is there and connected to the screen. If yes, then you will only need to change climate control module with heated windscreen button and reprogram CCF

Sorry i have been away.

I will check this out and get back and post when i get to the bottom of it.

Thanks for the replies so far

Sorry to be bringing this up again....But its still bugging me...

By all accounts my 2007 HSE should have a heated screen as part of that spec. The screen is a heated screen but as previously mentioned i have no heated screen button on the climate control module.

I can see wiring underneath the A Pillar..

I am wondering can you buy the heated screen switch or do i need to buy the whole climate control module. Sorry for the newbie red ass questions.

Also where can i get these ...my internet search is coming up a blank. I really would like to give this a try and get it working...Bloody cold here in Finland Although to be fair the 'prog' button is doing quite a good job... I fitted the car with a Calix engine block heater and comfort kit to warm the inside too...The windows never have any Ice etc....

In fact as i write this i am convincing myself screw the heated screen haha....but sometimes you just gotta try these things..

Thanks all

My 57 SE has it and works.and so does my mates 08 HSE.

quite possible that the screen was fitted as standard on the production line, but they penny pinched and didn't fit the button due to the destination the car was going

is the screen standard on a 2007 HSE in your country  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

My SE 57 which is now gone and I had it from nearly new had the heated screen as standard and HSE definitely had the heated screen as standard.So what's below your program button is it just a blank.

Page 44 of the wiring diagram in the link below, shows the components, ie.relays that may be present and the wiring colours, certainly worth investigating.
