Heated Windscreen

Hi all. I have a 2015 S550 Coupe. Awesome car. It was not originally fitted with a heated windscreen. However, the windscreen was just replaced and the replacement has the heating elements throughout.

Can I make this new heated windscreen functional?. I have to think the biggest cost to do so is the windscreen. Any thoughts on what would be required? Thanks in advance.

I think there would be some interface IF you have the heat option, to turn it on. I dont know what or where that is.

I live in fla but I go to NC in the winter, and most of the time its freezing. So I just need the warmth and comfort, and heat windshield for those vacations.
