Every pill bottle has silica gel in a little paper packet to keep the pills dry, you can also get silica gel for drying flowers or as was stated, as crystal cat litter.
I was just using some that changes color, blue is dry, pink is wet, it works really well for drying stuff out like cell phones or if you are me, my lap top that I dropped in to standing water... a few hours in a bag of silica gel and it's dry and working just fine!

Personally, I just leave my window cracked open over night, the moist air wants to condense on what is coldest, if the window is open then the coldest thing is the outside as the windshield is still warm, but the windshield is quick to cool so it frosts up quickly.

You can also dry silica gel in the microwave, I don't have one so I used the one next door and found that putting it in for a minute, take it out and stir and cool then put it in for another minute, a flat glass bowl worked best.
