Default Two (2) windshield sensors?
On my A6, there are 2 sensors up high on the windshield, I'm sure one is for the rain sensor, the round one lower down I think. What is the other sensor used for?
Thanks

Could be, but my car doesn't have that feature.

Ever heard the idiom, "a picture is worth a thousand words"...?

I think you will find that one is the rain sensor and the other is the light sensor to decide when to turn the headlights on
