How do you wire it in dude? You thinking seperate switch or are you going to piggy back the rear screen button to do both?

Undecided at the moment, the tails are just loose for the time being.

Some clever wiring and relay logic trickery and you could possibly have it as follows:
1st press: rear screen on
2nd press: rear screen and front screen on
3rd press: all off

Or

1st press for 2+ secs: front screen on
2nd press for 2+ secs: front screen off with no affect to rear screen?

Could fit a different colour LED next to the original in the switch to indicate its status... Would be pretty cool!

ok, just to give you something to chew on, the front screen is 2 separate elements, just to add an extra dimension to the permutations

I've considered moving the lock switch and having 2 switches and/or connecting it to the remote start so the front screen comes on as well.

What about an even fancier way of putting it into the demist function on the ATC?
Possible?
It already auto cancels itself after a set time so one press of that and the aircon screen demister/screen heater comes on then off it goes later on.

That's getting super complex as I suspect that is an electronic setting in the ATC ECU.
