As normal not responsible for any modifications you may do to your vehicle.
This is a really simple addition and something that I really missed from my previous truck.
This info from this thread in interior but I figured it belongs here in the mods:

From what it appears you need to have auto climate control so that the vehicle is wired and has the humidity sensor.
Part Number: 68298334AA - this is located behind the rear view mirror.
Just a few pics that might help.
1. Back cover with tabs on each side. I was able to squeeze and get a small screw driver in.
2. Inside image of the front cover. The clips are not the same side to side. I found the driver side I was able to pull towards the door some and down and it popped out but then the other one I just had to pull down on the cover but there is a chance that may be able to get a small screwdriver inside once the first cover is off and push it to the side to release it?
3. Unplug The sensor. You want to pop the little metal clips off. Everything you see is not the sensor there is a mount that goes around the sensor so you don't want to pry it off you want the sensor sitting inside of it. I used the plug of the sensor to put a screwdriver in and pulled it down. It may have helped the truck was sitting out in the texas heat for some time. But it was still stuck on good. There will be a patch of gel left on the window. Dont touch or try to remove it unless you have a new gel pad.
There was no gel on my new sensor. I looked at the gel that was left and it did not appear damaged so I just stuck the new sensor in making sure the metal clips clipped in. They do sell the get pad separately.
The covers have insulators that press against the front windshield to keep it from moving around. Make sure they do not fall when you reinstall the covers.
Pics of the Security Gateway. And I know there are other options for this but this seemed very simple.
Bypass that I use:

1. So this is an image of a mirror sitting on the floor looking up on the drivers side of the footwell. you can see the two plugs that need to be unplugged.
2. Plug the two cables into the bypass. I thought the bypass would plug into the box but no it plugs into the cables you disconnected.
3. Plug the OBD reader into the bypass and then onto AlfaOBD.
OBD reader I use:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XKQQQ...wg=pMwFw&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_img
Enabled the following in AlfaOBD:
VehConfig 2-Rain Sensor Present
CustSetMenu 1-Rain sensitive wipers CSM
The wipers seemed to start working right away. The setting in the app did not show up tell the next morning.

Rain Sensing Wipers (Not equipped but have the part)
Has anyone tried to install a rain sensor on a truck that does not even have wires or a connector behind the mirror? Today I specially checked that there is no sensor or wiring in my Lone Star.
