Condensation/Rain sensor Retrofit with wiring

I want to retrofit from the manual climate control to dual climate control but in the retrofit i have to put in a condensation senor but of course my car doesn't come with any sensor or wire which pin and which modules do i wire them up to and then what coding is needed if the car never had a sensor like that?

I need a new windshield anyways as mine has a few stone chips/cracks so i don't mind getting a windshield with the hole for the senor

I'm not sure what the condensation senor does or what feature will not work if non is installed.

I don't mind going through the trouble as much as i know it will be!

Any help or information would be highly appreciated!

You need to add Rain/Light sensor near the rear view mirror.
Add 521 and vo code.

This condensation sensor is located at the the base of the rear view mirror and is responsible for detecting moisture. If it meets a threshold it will turn on the compressor to begin reducing the likelihood of fogging the windows.
