Default wiper question on my cx?

ok i going to try to explain what i want to do and see if any of you guys understand what i want to happen. ok i have a cx hatch and you guys know that the cx hatch only has to speeds on the wiper switch. what i want to know is if i use the wiper switch from a si hatch what else would i need to make it work cause the si hatch has three speeds. also i know that i would need a rear wiper but i don't want one so im not worried about the rear. all i want to know is what would i need to make the si switch work on my cx. i plugged it in already and only the two speeds work. thanks. i hope its not confusing what i wrote?

oddly enough hondaon18's, i did the same thing. i put on the wiper lever from an lx which also has an intermittent level and not just low and high. it does not work on intermittent on my car like yours. i wonder why that is. any help would be great

All you need is the switch and an ICU that plugs into the rear of the fuse box.

I did this to my VX and several other EGs. Works perfectly.

the ICU is the box that plugs into the back of the underdash fusebox, it will be in the donor car.
I don't have a pic of it, but it's really obvious when you see it.

a car without int option does not have the wiper switch to select it.
You need the wiper switch with int location and the ICU from a car with int from the factory.
If you have the switch all ready, all you need is he ICU.
