Stihl only makes the 500i(w) which has rear handle element and half wrap heated. No carb/intake heating. Looks like your only options for a heated 3/4 would be a 462 or 661. In bigger saws.I am not sure how close those handles are to a 500i handle, if they could be modified slightly to fit. I...

Not sure why the screen shots are blurry. Hopefully they will be ok
