I have annoying issue is that when wipers on intermittent and raining, the wipers don't wipe when I want. Even when I have it set on the stalk on most frequent setting. I still have to manually work wipers to clear screen.
How can I set this so it's more sensitive to rain?
Windscreen is standard I believe, I mean genuine by that.

Hi Gary,

Lighting sensitivity for features like headlight activation or Coming/Leaving-Home can be modified but I'm not aware of a way to alter the rain/wipe sensitivity. Hopefully someone else has a suggestion.

Best,
Dana

Not sure if this helps but ... when I had a non-Audi windscreen (windshield) replacement on my previous B7 RS4 the rain/wipe sensitivity was much lower so I had the same problem as Gary. On the B7 platform there was an adaptation channel for windshield transparency (can't remember in which module, sorry) which when I adjusted it (by trial and error) restored the original rain/wipe sensitivity.

I'll play about with coding in central electrics and change windscreen type, and report back. Once it's been raining.
Was going to attach a image from my desktop but can't see an option!

Go to central electronics module, long coding and there should be a drop down list where you can choose the slave modules. Choose RLFS module and press long coding helper. There you can choose a glass type if for some reason it is incorrect for the car. That introduces some predefined correction factors to both rain and light sensor. You might want to try and play with the different glass types to see if it makes a difference.

And you can also try Adaptation Channel 21 in [09-Centr. Electr.] if that has influence on sensitive.
Range should be 0...2

Go to central electronics module, long coding and there should be a drop down list where you can choose the slave modules. Choose RLFS module and press long coding helper. There you can choose a glass type if for some reason it is incorrect for the car. That introduces some predefined correction factors to both rain and light sensor. You might want to try and play with the different glass types to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks, this is what I changed, I changed the windscreen to say it's from another model. So far it's made a big difference.

I fixed it for you, Gary. :cool:

Click the Share Photo arrow at the bottom right of the page your original link. Then click BBCode and select a size (in this case, I selected Original. That gave me this:

Of that mess, I only kept the part between the IMG tags.

I am having the very same issue after a windshield replacement on my 2020 SQ5.
I am unable to locate the windshield settings in the latest (non beta) VCDS version.
Thanks.
