Default Adding Rain Sensing Wipers?

I bought this car as a CPO. If I had ordered a car I would have included rain sensing wipers, it is chump change on a Porsche. I am slowly making it more of a car I would have ordered, but this seems to be a problem. I searched the forums for adding this feature after market. It seems to be something that could have been done on older 911’s. I could not find anything on this 992 version. There are a few parts for sale like a rain sensor and a rain sensor harness. The wiper control would have to be changed. Software probably updated. Is there any way to do this?

Aren’t they standard in US cars?

Maybe non-S cars don't come with it but ask your dealer for the build sheet for it and look for option 8N7, "WIPER INTERVAL LIGHT/RAIN SENSOR".

They were standard on all 992s in the US (and I think World Wide) for all variants.

Just push your right stock up one click and it will be enabled.

Consider yourself lucky. I hate them. I wish I could have just a regular intermittent wiper function. It's so inconsistent in how it detects light drizzle, which is when the auto function is supposed to be the most useful. But most of the time I have to manually trigger it to go because it doesn't pick up on the light drizzle that's accumulated.

Well, I stand corrected. This is not listed on the window sticker but when I decoded the VIN it indicates that they are on the car.

I guess they just do not work very well?

Glad you found you have them. Make sure you adjust the sensitivity (B) to maximum if you're not seeing wiping.
