Does all W204 have rain sensor?
Hello,
I have question about rain sensor in W204 - does all cars have it in standard?
I decoded my VIN number in WIS, and I don't see rain option in the code. But my local mechanic told, that all C-class should have it.
So I connected Xentry, checked if there are faults on the sensor - none. On the "actual values" tab I have only light sensor.
I checked the windshield, and I see 4 sensors in the module. Also checked eBuy & stuff, and there are only one model (light + rain) for this car.
I heared, that on older MB models - they put only one model of sensor, but some options were disabled via Xentry. Is it the same in W204?

My 2011 Sport model has Premium I package. Rain Sensing Wiper is one of the nine items in that package. I remember that rain sensing wiper is not a stand alone option that year model. I have no idea of other years.
