I am getting my front screen replaced on Friday and have asked for a heated screen (currently not heated) how difficult is it to get the screen working. Is it just a case of fitting a switch.

If non genuine part the screen plugs may, or not be different, have u checked that there is wiring and connectors below each corner of the screen, if so and the BCU needs to be told there's a heated screen is now fitted for the screen to work and you will require a switch.

Thanks, there are plugs in the scuttle. Will get a switch and see what happens.
Can BCU be updated with Hawkeye.

I believe it can , or it may be something similar according to the other threads on this subject, as I've no need to do it the exact info just passes straight over the top

Switch (part no YUG102550), relay (part no YWB101300), Hawkeye/nanocom to enable function on the BCU- that's what you'll need. I've looked in to doing this myself if the two chips I have in my current non-heated windscreen turn out not to be repairable.

yes, if his car has no aircon i doubt that it will work on aircon defrost mode... i should have said that from the beginning to avoid any confusion
