It is nearly impossible to see the navigation screen from the normal driving position in the sunlight due to glare. This causes the driver to take his eyes off the road for an extended time. This is unsafe and could cause and accident. Toyota service claims the system is operating as designed. *tr

When driving at any speed, under any condition, it is impossible to see the navigation screen, causing the driver to look, rather than glance, at the screen to determine driving instructions, road hazards, warnings, etc. The glare is almost blinding at times. *tr

There is huge sun reflection on navigation system & you have very poor vision on navigation. Time to time you have to change your head position to find right angle to read navigation display. This will danger the life of driver tremendously. *tr

The installed navigation screen is impossible to see in the driver's normal driving position and in almost any daytime lighting condition. Glare from the screen and dashboard borders on unsafe. There is no way to safely use that item and the 12 or so functions located there without significant distraction. Because of the potential distraction this will cause accidents and some will be fatal. *tr

This is a serious distraction when using the navigation and results in the driver having to avert eyes to focus on the display longer than necessary for details. This could result in an accident. A normal display would not have these…
