Apologies for the thread resuscitation.

Notorious...I'm just wondering if you have ran into any issues since you did the retrofit? This winter was my first actual experience with a heated windscreen with my 2012 Range Rover Autobiography, and I loved it!!! I was driving with ice falling at a pretty strong rate to the point that my wipers were not doing a good enough job with the ice and my windshield started freezing affecting visibility. I turned on the heated windscreen option and it solved that problem. Yes, you could always just crank the regular heat and aim the hot air to the windscreen....but if you have the option available, why not retrofit!

I'm planning to do that next time I need a windshield in either of my s8's.
