[AC/Heater] Heated Rear Window - Auto On?

TTDegs · 5th March 2008, 06:57

It's come to light on a few threads that Honda have included a "surprise and delight" feature whereby the Heated Rear Window (HRW) comes on automatically when you turn the car on and it's cold outside (sub 10C).

BUT - it appears that not everyone's does this...

so. A quick poll to try and work out what is going on!

Please vote Yes / No or Don't know, but PLEASE also reply with something like:
"Voted Yes, and my car is an Aug '06 2.2 EX"

we think it might be an age thing - but don't know yet

Many thanks!
