Coming home feature on non-light sensor models

[haroulli]

what a coincidence, my vcds cable just bricked, where did you purchased yours?

I ordered one from flashinthebox.com but it got lost in the post so he sent me another but wasn't the same version, the exe for the VCDS version was corrupt and the download link he sent me was for the Chinese version. Its a frggin mess. I also ordered one from dealextreme.com but it hasn't come yet.


I made some more progress today though! I ran a continuity test and found the fuse was blown! I was looking at wrong fuse! However, I still get the same error with or without the fuse and with or without the sensor plugged in. So I'm thinking its the sensor :( I will ordered a new(used) one from FleaBay.De

Ok I got my second sensor in the mail on Thursday and same results!

At this point i'm not sure what to do, I think my downfall was getting ambitious and getting the Headlight assis loom, perhaps thats what is messing it up. But if anyone else wants to give it a stap I can sell you my other sensor.

FAIL... Just got my parts in and these are not correct... ...

Touchdown!!! I successfully replaced my mirror. I did not do a full-blow electrical implementation yet (just power for the compass), but I I have the right mirror installed and the option to add more as time and money allow... http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...Mirror-Upgrade.

Fantastic News! It's working! New RLS fixed the ongoing issue. The one you need is 8K0 955 559 no letters on the end!

That's great news! how did you hook it up? and details!

[haroulli]

Right now is just plugged in to the harness loose with the butt end tucked into the headliner. I haven't tested the rain feature yet but the light feature is working. Next step is to get the new windshield and mirror installed. I'll try and take some video tomorrow.

[dracolnyte]

awesome progress, keep use posted. btw where did you get the harness to plug into the light sensor from?

[haroulli]

Kufatec is where I got the harness. It includes the headlight assistant for the high beam and the mirror that goes with it. So you might have to do some adjusting to the connector to fit the regular mirror....I think.

[haroulli]

These are the parts I have ordered and will be required to get this working as OEM. The other parts you can't see in these pictures is the the RLS windsheild with the larger adapter the auto option headlight switch and the loom I got from Kufatec. The loom I purchased includes the High Beam assist. This part is not working yet dispite having it wired in and the correct mirror (my mirror is for 3 zone climate, however I only have 1 zone. This is ok but you cannot go the other way!). The only other word of warning is get the right RLS part number 8K0 955 559 with no letters!

Ok so you got the light feature to work, with the base mirror installed and the sensor you mentioned? The sensor doesn't look that bad if that's all it takes. Other than the switch of course. I would do it and leave th sensor exposed and tuck the wires if that's all it takes.

Same here, I wouldn't want to go through the whole process of swapping the mirror. - so all wee need is the sensor, harness, and auto light switch?

Yes but the Rain feature wont work since it doesn't quite make contact with the windshield. I also forgot to mention you need the silicon pad too. It is not adhesive it just sits between the sensor and the window.

If any one wants to do it to their Q7 I have two sensor I can sell them!

[Daze513]

Ok so perfect that's what I'll do. The rain feature for me isn't a big deal. But the auto lights are. Could you pleas post the part numbers I need to order for wires, sensor, etc?

What else would be involved for the rain sensing to work? That is or of the main reasons that I was thinking about doing this...

Well really the only way I know how and I'm doing is going the OEM route with the windshield so it can actually press against the window with the silicon pad. You could try what texaseric has tried and get a glass shop to blow torch the existing mount off and see if you can get a new mount from them from a P+ Audi. There's also duct tape :P

[haroulli]

Here is the finished product.

Glass people were asses and I had to sign a waiver. But anyways I got it installed, the mirror was a pain to get on and it doesn't feel too secure. The black backing and the wire cover needed to but cut to size. You can see a tiny gap in the picture but from a seated position it looks flush. The rain sensor gel doesn't look solid black, I guess because it bubbled but its not so bad. I tested the rain feature and it does work.

Oh if anyone has the stock code for their P+ rain sensor please share, mine looks like it came from an A3 because thats what all the settings reflect. Never the less it still works.

[dracolnyte]

wow that looks legit, sick

[haroulli]

Haha thanks, thats what I was going for nice and factory looking. My wife just moved my car to the drive way and I asked her if notice the mirror and of course she didn't

Hello.
I write to you with the intention of seeking help. I have the same problem as you did with the A4 sensor lights. I installed the sensor, the new moon, new mirror without glare and light control. I got grounded cord, another current with fuse wire 5 and another to canbus. I enabled but not working.

So you enabled it in Vag-Com? Does it give you an error on the DIS? Are you using the right RLS? 8K0 955 559 with no letters?
