Is it possible to add rain sensor to 987?

[jhammerstrom]

I have an '05S and I'd like to add the rain sensor for the wipers. Is this possible? How much would it cost?

Thanks

I had an '02 Boxster and I know that it was an add-on option according to the tequipment paphlet. However, I just bought a 2007 yesterday (demo model) woohoo! and in the tequipment pamphlet it has no mention of this being an add on option. However, if it was before I am sure that it should probably still be. I know this is not much help, but I would just call the dealer.

Doing this through the dealer is going to be very expensive. Typically cars are built with wiring looms to suit options , therefore the wiring for the control module and mirror are probably not there. If you fit just the rain sensor without the auto dimming mirrors , there is a chance the car will always show a fault light or not work properly. To fit the dimming rear view mirror (rain sensor) the control module , and both new mirror motors plus the loom is probably going to cost near on 2000 usd if not more. If you could find a wrecked car and use the parts as a donor it would be more reasonable , but you still need the main agent to activate the control module to get it to work. For saving on just a wiper stalk movement its really not worth the hassle.
