Do you know if the windscreen has been replaced after it left the factory? My understanding is that the KAFAS heating is built into the windscreen, so it may be that the heating element has failed, or it may never have been connected properly when the screen was replaced?

I not sure, I think never replaced it. How I can check the heating element.

I suspect that the only simple way would be with an IR thermometer. The heating element is powered when (paradoxically, given that it is in the front screen) the heated rear windscreen is on. You should see a significant rise in the temperature of the glass in front of the KAFAS camera.

The heater is part of the camera module, not a part of the windshield. Sounds like the heater is busted. Bummer.
