Auto Close Not Working?

[edsiajb]

So I used VCDS to activate my rain sensor. The auto wipers are working fine, but the auto close feature doesn't seem to be working at all. I did select "Rain Closing Active" in the "Long Coding Helper"...and the code was accepted.

Maybe I'm not testing it properly (I've tried pouring water over the sensor with the car off...both locked and unlocked). Any ideas?

Is this of any help?

Looks like some cars enable the menu option in the MFI, then you have to enable it via the MFI.
