I was bored today and thought I would go out to the car and play a little bit more with VAG-COM because you learn more each time you use it.
I have a long list of various functions and stuff and just trying them out to see which ones work with the Ibiza MK4 and which ones don't etc ... I managed to get the "Comfort Rear Wiper" working.
What is comfort rear wiper? Basically if you are driving the car with the front wipers on, if you select reverse gear it will wipe your rear screen for you - the car assumes if you have your front wipers on that it's raining and is probably going to be wet - so gives it a courtesy wipe for you. This may be cool to some, and annoying for others - I'm going to give it a chance now that we are coming into winter.
This "mod" comes as standard on the Fabia models and beleive it or not it came as standard on my 2004 Corsa too ... so I thought I'd give it a bash and it's now working on my 2003 Sport TDI 130.
Here is now to do it, turn the cars ignition on and wire up your cable and start the VAG-COM software... from the main VAG-COM screen go for "Select control module" and on the next screen select "09-Cent. Elect." it will then connect to your cars central electronics menu and you then want to select "Coding" at this point you have two editable fields... the one we are editing is the software coding one. The original code on mines was 00140 ... do add the comfort wipe function I added 8192 to that, so changed the code to 08332 and clicked "Do It!" At this point I clicked "Coding" again to make sure that it had changed. Basically take the key and cable out - start the engine and put your front wipers on and then select reverse gear - the wiper should come on.
Let me know if anyone here does it and what model you done it on, I can't find the guide anywhere else so this should work for Polo MK6 and if you want to disable it on Fabia's I guess you just removed 8192 from the current software coding.
Cheers, Chris.
