I've noticed that if I shut the car off with my rear wiper switched on, on the next ignition cycle, it won't actually be on, until the rain sensor gets triggered, or I toggle the switch again. (Which I find desirable!)
I've also noticed, that when the rain sensor is triggered, and I go into reverse, it will wipe the rear window once, although the rear wiper switch is off. (I know this is a setting in the infotainment screen, but I've also noticed it doesn't always happen, even though it's set, and only seems to happen when it's raining.)
This has made me wonder: Can I somehow adjust the frequency at which the rear wiper wipes? Could I make it stop cycling if it's left on and it's not raining?
I would love if the frequency of the rear wiper was also adjusted by intermittent wiper adjustment/auto wiper sensitivity switch, or if it just reacted to the Rain sensor, the way the front wipers do, and stopped a few minutes after the sensor stopped detecting rain.
Really, any adjustment at all on this would be interesting to know about... Even if it's just changing the base frequency.
Ideally, if it could wipe three or four times when initially switched on, and then park itself if the rain sensor isn't seeing any rain, and start up again when it starts raining again.
Is any of this or anything even slightly related possible?
I know you can use VCDS to enable wiping the rear window a few minutes after using the rear washer to catch any drips. I really hoping there is more customization hidden there.
