I’ve noticed that in my Landcruiser Prem there is a grid around the windshield wiper area but nothing is mentioned about having the windshield wiper de icer grid or a button to activate it. But the grid is definitely there. Maybe in other countries it’s able to be activated?
Windshield Wiper De-Icer Grid

It’s under climate options in the radio. I believe you can also ask toyota through the radio to turn it on.
I'm wondering if it turns on when you turn on the mirror defrosters. That's how my tundra worked.
No idea. My 4Runner had wiper de-icer. The button had to be pushed to activate.

Thanks so much, knew it had to be somewhere.
Will be very curious to see how the de-icers (etc.) work this winter. My 4Runner always had a cold spot that would constantly ice up first and be hard to clear.
Used it this morning. Works pretty well - albeit about 30F out with minimal frost. Excited to have this available but wish the mirrors were heated (1958 edition). It would be nice to have a dedicated switch for this since it does not come on when you select windshield defrost button.
I was a little bummed to find it only in the screen options instead of a physical button like on my Rav4.
My plan is to just turn it on and leave it on for the season. I would assume that if they expected you to be turning it on and off there would be a more usable button.
I'll report back later next month!

I believe it’s on a timer. Try saying hey Toyota turn on wiper de-icer.
