I'm getting really annoyed by the auto rear wiper "feature", especially in the current weather with all the salt and cr@p getting thrown up the back of the car! i don't like the fact that it wipes when you put the car in reverse and smears the back window, it's a pain as most of the time the washers frozen. Does anyone know if the auto "feature" can be deactivated with vagcom?
-
Mine doesn't do that. It only swipes the rear if the front swipes and then I put it into reverse.
If you have your wipers off in the front it shouldn't swipe the rear.
-
Not sure why mine does it tbh, say your driving along and the wipers are set to auto and then you stop to reverse into a parking space, i always turn off the wipers before selecting reverse but it makes no difference, it's like it takes a little while to catch up. If i've just cleared the windscreen of snow or ice and then use the single wipe before reversing off the drive the rear wiper goes! WTF?? :angry:
I'm hopefully getting the new bluetooth kit fitted by Darren in January so i might ask him to have a poke around while he's doing the coding.
-
That would drive me crazy. You would imagine there would be something to turn it off.
-
Mine as p3asa. God it would pottify me if it happened like yours J.
-
Mine does that, but I'm sure that you can deactivate this (try the MDF)
-
If you know someone with VCDS they can deactivate this for you, I did as I was fed up with it as well
-
I've never noticed mine doing that, and I keep the wipers on automatic pretty much all the time.

Just coded Movi's out :wink:
Mine next :smiley:

My rear wipper seems to have a mind of its own like this if i have the lights in auto but i don't understand why.

How?! I asked this about 6 months ago an no one could tell me how.
I'd be happy never to use my rear wiper again, as all it does it leaves streaky trails down the back of the car!!

I'll do a how to on Friday when I'm back in work as I'm Christmas shopping today and tomorrow with Mrs Doc ;-)

Nice one, I'd appreciate that.
No hurry though as its bugged be for so long another few days won't matter!!
Keep your credit card hidden :laugh:

Too late :sad:

i noticed this when i first got my car and i actually thought it was pretty cool cos it would actually wipe away rain, initially i thought it was using the rain sensor but it seems as others have pointed out if you use the front wipers, putting into reverse it 'knows' that you used the wiper so will activate the rear wiper.
now it being winter i don't really want it to wipe unless i really want it to, also i don't want it moving if the wiper blade is frozen stuck to the glass otherwise the mechanism might break (means i'll have to make sure before setting off wipers are not stuck but it means spending time outside the car walking around checking whilst i don't really want to be spending too much time outside the car cos a) it's f**king freezing b) waiting car jackers might pounce)
although not really to do with the rear wiper, another annoying thing i find is the front auto wiper just doesn't wipe when i want it to, a normal timed-based intermittent wipe would just wipe every whatever interval, but on auto, even with the most sensitive setting i'll wait for ages whilst the rain just builds up and it just doesn't wipe so i get up getting annoyed and i'll either put it on normal slow wipe or pull the stick down past the off position to do a single wipe. sometimes auto stuff just gets in the way.

Turned off the auto rear wiper on reverse and taken photos of the process.
Will post later this eve ;-)

A quick "coupe de grace" solves that :lipsrsealed:
(for the non-frog break the bloody thing with all of your might before it drives you mad) :sick:

Done:
how to code out the auto rear wiper when reverse is engaged.
You will need VAG COMM or similar.
1. Open VCDS and select Select Control Module. Next Select Cent. Elect.

2. Once open select CODING
(http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/1975/picture0390.jpg)
3. Once open goto line 3 then goto bit 2D on line 3 and click it - It will turn yellow
(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1166/picture037b0.jpg)
4. Look at the options on the lower left and click Bit 6 i.e. UNTICK IT
(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4477/picture035e.jpg)
5. Then it will look like this, click EXIT and hit DO IT - job done ;-)

....I am jealous...if only I had the time and drive to do this...... :cool:
What a wayne kerrs those dealers.....mine refused to get involved with configuring the rain/roof closure...quite important for me ...as proven :lipsrsealed:....even the importer claims they avoid changing settings....they say that they do not (WANT TO) have the program....(I guess they mean the skill)
Service is a word they do not understand...(actually VW dealers/importers do not understand any word you say no matter what language you speak) :sick:
-
Nice one... thanks.
I posted in your HOW TO thread earlier. Will hopefully get this done at the weekend if its a decent day.
-
Great how too, I need to sort myself out another cable for a chrismas present and get all these things programmed.
-
I'll do some others if you list what you'd like to change.
I've changed:
Using front fogs as cornering lamps
Using front fogs for coming / leaving home lamps
Coded nav to car so the dis shows directions and compass
There is more but I need to plug into the car to remember lol
Working on making the headlamp washers work less often as it's a waste of good screenwash

There is good info on This Link (http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4743553-VCDS-MKVI-MK6-Platform-Handy-Coding-tweaks) for coding tweaks :smiley:
