Yes my P+ A6 has it. You need to turn it on in the MMI, and the right wiper stalk needs to be at the first notch up, or intermittent position. The switch on top of the stalk will then adjust the rain sensor's sensitivity.

Actually, I confused it with many states now requiring headlights be on when the wipers are operating, i.e. CA, IL. NY, NJ, MC, SC, MD, MO, OH, PA, MA, AL, ME, RI and others. This is obviously irrelevant to rain sensing wipers though.

Thank You so much! I think I had mine in the off position thinking if it rains the wipers will work automatically and I went blind for a few seconds lol.So basically I need to leave it on in the intermittent position and the auto is on! I will check it out!
