Every car I've seen with rain sensing wipes has been annoying.
They either:
1. Turn on full blast during a drizzle.
2. Don't go fast enough in a downpour.
3. Both.
Our car also has speed sensitive volume control (default option for that is "off"). Good news for guys who like driving with their windows down though.

I posted this awhile ago in the tech thread but didn't get much of a response . I'll try timing and see if there is a difference as posted by treacherous. I thought the speed sensing wipers were that the wipers would whip across the windshield faster at higher speeds (noted this on friends bimmer).

Try this:
1. Make sure the Speed Senses Wiper is "ON"
2. Make sure your Int. timer is set to the LONGEST. (Which means the default settings)
3. Turn the wiper to Int. and drive away.
4. Then adjust the delay you want.
5. Now the delay will be set along with your speed.
6. If you stop your car, your wiper should stop or take the longest delay without changing the settings.
These are the information gave by my dealer....

If i want to force it to wipe at a certain speed then i just turn the handle to the other 2 positions. There's 3 on the SL, 1 is the typical intermit (which is the auto setting) then there's the mid and high.
I believe the rain sensor is on my windshield right in front of the rear view mirror... it's either that or the black plastic thing in the grills on top of my hood, i know one is for automatic headlight (day/night) sensor and the other is for rain. hehe..
The 07 camry hybrid i bought for my g/f Anna doesn't have this feature and it's priced about the same.. argh.. i wish they had this feature haha, it's so convinent

we're in canada, dunt have no tech package LOL its just premium and nav, and nav is with everything in nav in the us and tech.

One day i found out i had the speed sensing wipers by just driving in the rain. At a stop the wipers would wipe every 9 seconds. When i reached 40 mph it would do it every 5 seconds. When i wanted to show my friends that i had them, it was raining again but a lot harder. However, I was going 40 again but this time the wipers were going on every 3 seconds. Does this mean that my car has some sort of rain sensor that because it was raining harder, the wipers wiped a little faster?

I like to be in full control of everything I do in the car (although I've pretty much set on the auto AC at 73 F...heheh). The rain falls in the Bay Area are so sporadic, so I prefer to not have the speed of the wipers depend on the speed of my car.
