A climate control system for a vehicle comprises a defroster assembly having a temperature sensor that detects an interior temperature of an interior of the vehicle, a camera disposed within the interior that has a lens facing a windshield, and at least one vent directed at the windshield. A body controller that, responsive to a temperature of the interior being less than a temperature threshold, and a light refractive index of the windshield being less than an opacity threshold, outputs a status of the windshield. A telematics communication system that, responsive to the status from the body controller, transmits a notification to an application stored on a mobile telecommunications device.
