As above.
The big boys are certainly NOT the people to buy a screen from.
As for wiring, it depends on how competant you are and how you actually want it to work. A heated screen draws a lot of curent so you have to make sure all wiring & switchgear is up to the job. Some use a timer-relay so they hit the switch and the screen stays on for a pre-determined amount of time and then switches off automatically (usually about 5-minutes or so but that is determined by the timer-relay). That is fine if you are a forgetfull sort but personally mine is wired up to a manual switch becuase I am not forgetfull and I have found that even in the coldest of mornings I don't need more than a couple of minutes of heat.

For an easy life, buy the complete wiring loom from mobilecentre on the Internet. I did.

Heres a link to the mobilecentre wiring loom I used, they do them with different switches also. Not cheap, but makes it a quicker job..

I had my loom fitted by an auto electrician, but I can take some photos of where the loom is fitted if you like?
