    B7 S4 Premium package: Rain Sensor

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I've noticed that with the rain sensor I can leave the wipers on at all times and they will only come on when it's raining, but does the rain sensor also close the sunroof/windows when it rains? Particularly when the car is off i.e. sitting in the parking lot at work. If not, can it be coded to do so with VCDS?

    This is something I now have an interest in after purchasing an all black car with leather that will sit out in the sun all day at work. Searching yields some relevant threads but I found no conclusive answers in the first 5 pages of google results at least.

    I always wondered that. Should be cool if it was capable of doing that.

    8P 2010..

    how about: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index...K/5M%29_Tweaks

    ?? seems like it's only the older A3 and models, which aren't that "old" .. my guess is this isn't possible on B6/B7.

    I got my VCDS software and cable running last week and could not find anything related to it. I'm guessing it's not possible.

    Then again, I also could not get the comfort open/close of windows to work with the key so it could just be me missing something.

    I made that change to my car myself, so PM me if you need assistance! I used that feature yesterday when my car was getting towed and I had to put the windows up! Amazing feature.

    I've read that you can enable it with vag-com in Mk. 4 VW's, but I was never able to find anything similar in my B7.
