Judo, I just created another thread. I hope it helps.

All sorted now. Managed to get into the 'secret' menu and turned perspective mode on. Thanks so much to the blokes here that helped out.

Now onto the next problem.......intermittent wipers that dont!

The disk upgrade or the wiper fix Ron?

The GPS disc.

The disc worked perfectly. Mapping is fine and I got perspective mode to work. I actually sent you a PM to let you know and thank you for your help. But yep, all is good.

And...................I managed to get those wipers to work. I purchased a 3m optically clear patch and cut it to the correct size and shape. Then affixed it to the windscreen exactly where it needed to go and then fitted the mirror. Wipers and intermittent works like new.

Hi Rob,
when you say intermittent, do you mean that it doesn't rain sense? My 2003 Vogue has lost the ability to rain sense and has defaulted to intermittent use, so my question is did your trick to restore the wipers actually give it back its rain sensing ability, or did you only get them to work as intermittent ?

Hi Kelton,

Fully operational rain sensing wipers. Fixed.

**p38arover** · 1st April 2018, 06:43 AM

Kelton, have you had a windscreen replacement? If so, was the rain sensor recalibrated?

If none of the above, for testing, I can lend you a sensor I bought when I thought mine had failed. While I was waiting for it to arrive, I found out about recalibrating which I then did with Faultmate. That fixed it.

My screen had been replaced by previous owner. A non original was fitted and didnt come with the rain sensor pad attached. So the dicks at O'Briens just peeled off the old one and stuck it on the new one using the same old adhesive pad which was now stretched and certainly far from 'optically clear'!

So I pulled mine off, fitted the new 3M pad to it and refixed it in the correct position, which was the hardest part. No need to calibrate on my car, it just all started working again.
