I have ordered the parts however I don’t have access to OBD11 or VCDs all I have is the carista plug and app. Can you the auto lights on carista or do you require OBD11?
What do you mean exactly wiht this (for stupid german users)

I don’t think you can , I’ve got a carista and couldn’t see this in the settings. You have to code your sensor into the car before you can activate it
I've had the retrofit done for about a week but my wipers have been going funny. They come on when there's water detected as they should but they don't turn off after that, they stay on. Anyone know what it might be? I've replaced the gel pad because it looked a bit cracked but it's still not working, I've requested a return for the sensor on eBay
I cant thank everyone who's contributed to this thread enough! I now have OEM auto lights and wipers which are both working perfectly, I thought whilst I was furloughed I'd get on with some mods to the car and this one was suprisingly simple.
Can't actually believe how low cost and simple this mod is for the features it gives you, coming home/leaving home lights are the main reason I wanted auto lights and auto wipers work fine too. All the correct menu options come up and you can even set the headlights to come on when it's raining.
Really appreciate the how to guide, if anyone has any issues fitting this to a FL Leon let me know and I'll try to help.

Hi Ben, I have a seat leon tdi fr 2014 with same sensor 8U0955559 with no auto light on light switch and auto rain sensor doesn't work. I can only think the sensor doesn't support rain sensing? Did the Sensor 8U0955559B you brought include humidity sensor? As I think that's all the original one does. Is there a cheaper vag cable I can use instead off genuine.
Thanks
Have managed to get automatic lights working but now have lost intermittent wipers and no automatic wiper function, anyone any ideas what I could have done?
Have you got the stalk in the first position, as in up one click? Needs to be there to activate the sensor.
Yes in first position, all I get is one swipe when sensitivity switch is moved. When first fitted the sensor worked when sprayed with water now nothing.
Wish there was a way of checking it's function via obd11 have tried unplugging and replugging in with no effect, don't want to break it trying to remove it or destroying the seal.
Not regarding wipers or lights no, just the canbus error on climate control that many seem to get who have done this retro fit
Hi, have you got the long coding for this, I'm having the wipers issues. I have now tried 2 sensors, 81A955547A which is supposed to be for Ateca and 5Q0955555. Both great for lights but not wipers. Thanks
