I am not sure whether it was an option for UK spec in 2012 (when mine was built) but I know my mates one 2015 has that option. Its the same bodywork so should fit. What I am looking for is to find out whether its been pre-wired for heated windscreen. I was positively surprised when found out that the French build Yaris is pre-wired for front fogs, foot well lights, cruise control etc. and all that is just plug & play. What I need to find out is whether is there harness present for heated windscreen like for example for foot well lights? Anybody got the diagram?

Well I've "built" a Yaris on Toyota U.K. and nowhere is there an option for a heated front screen. It only lists a rear "defogger" which I assume is a heated tailgate window.
The current Yaris brochure (U.K.) has no mention of a heated front screen either as a standard fit or option for any of the trim levels. Does your mate's have one fitted or is it just an option? Sorry but I doubt it. Which model does he/she have?
It would be a useful feature though, instead of some of the "gimmicks" they do extol.
There is a thread on this site re footwell illumination if you'd care to search.

No UK Yaris has a heated screen, I suspect he has climate control which has a button for the front screen but all it does is push all the air to the windscreen and turns the fans to full, it does not heat the screen

Double checked and yes. The front screen button send all the air on the front screen but it is not an electric heated. What a shame. Fiesta offered that option as standard.

Ford have fitted heated windscreens for years and it is an excellent and useful feature.
Yes, that upper button, directly above the rear heated screen button could be mistaken for a heated windscreen because, like the heated rear screen it is called a "defogger". It does have a different symbol to the rear one though.
