But only if it's a W211 or W220 with code 979 "Special Protection Vehicle"
On the 211 both the windscreen and front side windows are heated. The 220 only got the front screen. Power consumption is 42A for the screen and 10.5A each the side windows. The windows are heated when the defrost button is pressed and the engine running. Time on is dependent on engine speed, from 6min at standstill to 11min at 100kph.
So there must be heated screens out there available that should fit a 'std' 211 / 220 but I cannot find any part numbers. For a retrofit you would also need a heated window relay control module and a special vehicle multifunction control unit.
Nice little project for someone!
