If it doesn't still have the actual heated glass, I wont have to wait too long for a cracked windshield here in Alaska. I'll get it swapped out for the real thing the next time I have to have the insurance pop in a new one.
You don't have to "pop off the cowl" to verify. The connectors are right there, in each corner below the bonnet hinges, in plain sight.

Sorry, I did not realize that you already have the heated windshield option. You do not need to re-program it if yours was already turned on.

So, turns out at some point a non heated windshield was put in it.

Next time I have to swap in a new one due to road damage, I'll get them to put in the right one. I'm sure by spring I'll have a crack in it.

My '99 D2 has the plugs next to the cowl for heated windshield, but obviously didn't come with that option.

Has anyone retrofitted a heated windshield into an older D2? Would be a nice thing to have this winter.

That doesn't surprise me, considering that there is a lot of BMW in these rigs...

I do coding/programming on BMWs, and have been tempted to play around with the D2 and see if I can get INPA to connect
