Rear wiper

[Rob]

is there any options in the VCDS to disable the rear wiper from activating when reverse is selected and the front wipers are on please?

 

[Pauly]

Dont think so, dont recall seeing any options for that

Didn't know they did that, mind you I very rarely look out the rear window when reversing, got a camera for that.

Rob........funny you should say that 'cos I was just thinking that the other day! I suppose the answer is to make sure the wipers are off when starting up or when selecting reverse......a pain, but there it is! Must remember to switch the wipers off when parking up for the night now that winter is coming......that mistake once made my wallet smart a bit!!!!!!

Very good point indeed! I must remember to do this too! If they are on auto and have wiped fairly recently to selecting reverse then yes auto rear wipe is activated! Drives me mad! On media (the head unity with mirror link etc), there is a cat set up function (had it on my other new VW last year) and you can disable it through driver controls on steering wheel functions too, but sadly not on my composition head unit.

Yes you can disable this in vcds. Central electrics and adaptations under rear wiper comfort.
