If it's 1/3 of business card, can it be placed within the darker band of windscreen right behind rear view mirror?

Good question. I note from their drawings and picture that its positioned below the tinted/shaded area of the screen. That may indicate that the IR sensor may not work so well in the tinted area due to absorption. My screen has a very dark band about 30 - 40mm in width but below that its clear and if mounted in that area its around the same height as the mirror and, would be perfectly acceptable. Its a question worth raising with the company.

I have this installed now. I'll provide pics and wiring info in the near term. I installed the sensor at the base of the windshield. It's out of the field of vision when driving, and looks OEM or near so. I positioned it such that the wiring connector looks about like your standard VW/Audi wiring cover. I've thought about blacking out the windshield around where it's mounted in a nod to OE goodness but haven't done so yet. I've had a number of people ride in the car since install and no questions as yet.
I have the on/off switch run into the console and to the trim where phone prep items are in the console cubby. I also have an OEM A4 AUX-In radio connector there. I can't speak to whether the rain sensing portion works well yet, seemed to in tests with a hose, but haven't gotten any rain recently. I do know the auto-lamps work well. At dusk they start to operate without any effort. I have it so that I can override and use only park lamps as well with the lamp stalk and without disabling rain tracker. |

Jeez, you could test them here, no problem! It's forgotten how to stop raining.
