Description of the problem | The installed navigation screen is impossible to see in the driver's normal driving position and in almost any daytime lighting condition. Bought a new toyota rav 4 limited july 2013 with navigation. Ambient glare through the vehicle windows and/or sun roof wash out the display, this is definitely a distraction while driving and trying to view the screen when it is in navigation mode, borders firmly as unsafe. There is no way to safely use that item and its functions located there without significant distraction. My 2011 toyota rav 4 limited with navigation did not present this problem. |
