Nothing new or surprising but thought id share. Ended up putting a metal bar through the back window on my truck (2022 Ram Classic) which did not come with the rear defogger. The new window that put in had the defogger lines and connection point so decided to pop the side covers off beside the window, sure enough the connectors each side are sitting only a couple inches away. Then activated with alfaOBD. So long story short its about a 10 min job to hook up the rear defrost if you don't have it and end up losing your window like i did.

I never paid attention to my rear sliding rear window, it looks like i have a defroster inside of the glass
Today the Sun was hitting it just right, i caught it at just the right angle.
On the drivers side, it looks like a printed circuit board inside of the glass.

If my good camera was not broken, i know i could get a great image of it

Thank you for posting this info.

Where in AlphaOBD was the option?
