R171 SLK rain sensor part numbers

[miro]

Same unit is used in the A-Class (169) SLK (171) and B (245)

Light and rain
----------------------------------
A 171 820 15 26 (code setting 28)
A 171 820 37 26 (code setting 30)
A 171 820 39 26 (code setting 32)

Light only
----------------------------------
A 171 820 30 26 (code setting 28)
A 171 820 38 26 (code setting 30)
A 171 820 40 26 (code setting 32)

The code setting is VERY important as it relates to a menu setting in the OCP (thing in the middle on the top of the windscreen)

Prices range from 52 Euro - 35 Euro for the units.

It appears that the reason why the activation doesnt work is that some cars only have a light sensor

Looks good Miro!

I notice that SLK has Aerotwin / Icon wipers, do you know where they got them from? I don't think they are available in Australia? I am trying to find a 24 inch one for my right hand drive W202. Thanks.
