People then say "hey but when I switch on the a/c the screen clears really quick" yes it does but the moisture stays in the climate control unit and therefore the interior.

In my experience you're best to have a completely dry interior in winter and use heating only. The incoming air is dry anyway once heated as all the airbourne moisture is laying on the ground as dew or ice.
Hi Welton and thank you for you advice, it's actually make sense what you said!! I will try your method for the new few days and see how it goes. Many thanks ☺️
