You are right, if you are already using the heater & the dpf regen starts, the xor = false would apply.
It is the biggest issue of software controlled services: it's a single common wire to heat the mirrors, it's software telling it to switch on and off. Without being able to directly interface the software via a supported API for example, it's not possible to know for sure.
That said, if you follow the current how to, manual de-mist + regen you wouldn't know anyway as both have the light on regardless.
At least this would switch the light off when you are pushing the button, removing 50% of the false reading options you have.
As to connecting, this may be where it's a do it if you dare, taking a sink off of the switch led and running it with small hookup wire. It may not be pretty.
Lastly, might try to read some info with an OBD2 BT scanner and an ATMega 328p with a BT module. This is more technical & more expensive and a further iteration on improving it.
