Tex Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Hi, I am new here so forgive me if i have any errors on my first Post. Anyway, i have been using a Polo TSi for a while and have been on the UK forum and have done many coding and mods, i have now got a A3 8P7, one mod i did on the polo was get those Auto headlight switches that didnt require coding as it had a sensor already inside, I want to know do the 8Ps have a similar option, or is the only route to retrofit the rain sensor module by the rear view mirror and code etc? I have attached a image of the module i had in my polo, as you can see it has a sensor already.

cliffcoggin Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Kyle. If your A3 has a rain sensor for the wipers, as mine has, I assume it can be linked to other electrical devices. What I don't understand is why you want to link it to the headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi, I don't have a rain sensor, I wanted to see if there is a way to get the Auto headlights without fitting a rain sensor. Unless fitting one is easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 To the best of my knowledge auto headlights turn on in the dark, not in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I do understand that, but with the VW I had the sensor for the light was built into the rain sensor module, I assume it's the same with the Audi's.

Tex Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 So i found a solution, just to help other, i coded the main beams and fogs as DRL, so that the lights are always on buit when you switch the car off then the lights go off then when you open the door the coming home feature activates for the mainbeams.
