my mates v5 had one  :cool: I think they are a b!tch to fit if your car never had one originally which may be what happened to the ops. ie not wired in. It would have to be pulled apart to check.

It is possible to convert but you need the front windscreen with the auto wipers rain sensor apparently. It's on my list to get done
