Over the years there had been several threads about enabling rain closing (that the car would automatically close the windows and sunroof if they are open and it starts to rain).

Back in around 2015 it seemed to be the case that the feature was no longer available due to a hardware change (RLFS, RLHS).

I've found guides, OBDEleven/VCDS configurations, YouTube videos .. but no matter what I've tried (I have an OBDEleven) the option to enable rain closing never appears on the car opening and closing settings page.

Does anyone with a 2019 or 2020 MkIII (mine is a 2020 Octavia Scout, manufactured April 2020, one of the last of the MkIII) have rain closing as an option in the head unit?

I know that my car can sense when it's raining because it will wipe the windshield wipers automatically.

The Central Electrics subsystem RLHS hardware number, per OBDEleven, is 5Q0955547C.

I've followed all the configuration guides (so, particularly, the options to enable rain closing, to enable the rain closing menu, for it to be 'permanent' instead of 'once', are all set, and I've twiddled various other bits, all to no avail. The option never appears in the head unit, and the water test always leaves the windshield wet .. and the windows still open).

thanks!

Sooooo, nobody with a recent Octavia MkIII has the automatic-rain-closing feature? 

I tried the coding on mine but I have a 2015 pre fl Octavia. It didn't work on that so I uncoded everything back. I belive you have to go to Access Control 2 in Central Electrics and activate 

Menuesteuerung Regenschliessen.

That activated the menu option for me. 

I can recall reading that when you go on the extended byte coding that if you leave one of them unticked, possibly byte 1; on some cars that made it work.

If I get a chance in the next week, I'll get my VCDS out and try and code this into my 2019 Scout.

Moltes gràcies!
