Patt Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'd be interested too, and if my electric mirrors can do the reverse fold down bit. I thought they had the option, but I now think it was the 718 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 The dipping mirrors come as part of the memory seat package, I had assumed that folding mirrors would get me the option, but no. When I get chance I am going to look into a hack that selects mirror down in reverse but getting it to return to the correct normal position will be the challenge.

Patt Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Ditto. It can only be a software thing, especially as we have the "cancel" button as part of the folding package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love the have both the above if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mk7 Golf appears very similar to the Porsche option packages around mirrors etc, it doesn't have memory seats but it has dip on reverse it's part of the folding mirror set up so I bet you will be able to get this working.

Richard Hamilton Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hi I think I have found where to make the setting for stop/start. It wasn't in the obvious places. There are options in the Vehicle Data for default to off, on, or last setting. I'll look into the folding/lowering mirrors setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be asking my opc to enable my sensor next time I'm in for a service, pretty annoying that it wasn't already. I took mine into OPC Wolves last week and asked them to look into the rain sensing wipers (after telling them what I had read on the forum). When I picked it up, they explained that I hadn’t got the sensor and it would need a different windscreen ?. Apparently, the only sensor on mine is for the auto lights.

Sounds to me like they just didn't want to enable it. The sensor sits below the windscreen, it's stuck on it' not built into the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hamilton Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I think you'll find that they ALL have the rain sensor fitted. I have a friend with a "poverty spec" 2.7 and enabled it on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringer250 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 @Forest, my 2014 has the auto dimming mirrors which come with the rain sensing wiper function. Picture shows the unit fitted. Also shown is the parts diagram via a 911 UK link, note that there is no different rear view mirror unit to accommodate rain sensing, so this would back up what @Richard Hamilton states that they all have the wiring. View from outside shown the sensor black tear drop shape, this fits in with what the actual sensor looks like in the third picture.

Forest Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 I’m heading up to Bolton in a couple of weeks to see if they can get the rain sensing wipers sorted, thanks to Gary @spook for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 So I dropped the car off on Thursday to have cruise fitted plus a look into the rain sensor, went back up to Bolton early this morning to pick the car up, cruise fitted and works great on M6 roadworks stretch ( 5 separate bits). The rain sensor has been activated but I’ve not had chance to test it properly yet due to the lack of rain lol. I am a happy bunny though ?

I think it was the same tech you mentioned that did it. He said that maybe 90% of the 981 cars have the combined rain and light sensor but some only have the light sensor, so until they delve into the car, they can’t guarantee it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlil Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Resurrecting an old thread - when I had cruise control retrofitted at Leeds OPC yesterday I asked them to code the rain sensor on. On picking up the car they said this would require a new wiper stalk. It seems like they are wrong as a couple of members on this thread have had Bolton OPC code the rain sensor. Can anyone confirm how the wiper stalk works once coded? Does the intermittent position become the auto position? Im going to ask Leeds to speak to Bolton! thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
