I've just removed the humidity sensor on an FR with no convenience pack and replaced it with the combined rain, light and humidity sensor. After some fun with VCDS I know have auto lights and auto wipers. Despite enabling leaving home function it just doesnt seem to work for me. Can someone who has VCDS and the technology pack mind scanning their config for me? I'd be interested to know both the coding and channel map settings for the central electrics module. I'm sure I need to change another setting but my German simply isn't good enough to understand the channels in VCDS.

Many thanks
Graham

Yes that'a a help as it definitely shows a slightly different coding on the Rain Sensor to what I came up with. Excuse me being cheeky but could you also perhaps export the adaptations for that controller? Its done from the Applications->Controller Channel Map menu of VCDS. It'll take an age to run though and need security access with code 31347 to read the values. I'm guessing there is something I've missed here as I had to change two settings to enable the rain function on the wipers and the leaving home function. I remember these were the straightforward long coding on the Mark 2 but have moved to the adaptations on the Mark3.

Thanks,
Graham

Dam should have realised that was a bit long to post on here. I think the relevant lines all start with Comfort Illumination, maybe about 10 or more settings? If I could see those I'd be a very happy chappy.

Thanks,
Graham

Many many thanks for that. Its all working nicely now. I'll write up a concise guide to this retrofit in case its useful for anyone else doing the same. Seems the coding is quite different to that posted elsewhere for the Golf Mk7.

Did you have to put a new switch in for the lights as well? I thought there was an extra position named auto that is not there without the convenience pack?
