Basic Plug-in Prius Navigation Display Sun Visor/Hood???

I'm interested too

 

No, they don't fit the smaller display on the Base model. I didn't read the 'fine print' and mistakenly ordered one for my Base, and the two sides are a good 3/4" too wide to work (fit in the slots near the display buttons). Even if it fit, the side 'arms' are fairly thick and I'm concerned about the ability to use the buttons when installed (something others have pointed out in other posts).

On the plus side, I just had my side windows tinted (3M's CM30 ceramic...looks great), and the difference in reading the display is dramatic. I'm hoping that once I get the front windshield done (3M CR70) that will be enough to reduce the glare/light enough to not have to fool around with a display hood

 

Thanks for answering for us Coyote

 

I have a 2012 Prius Hybrid and have been suffering with the glare problem for several months. Today it got resolved. We escalated thru the dealership and met with 2 Service reps from Boston. To make a long story short, they asked it we looked into the manual (Display Audio System Owner's Manual) under Display Settings on Pages 96-97. Needless to say we hadn't because the local dealership said they couldn't solve the problem & we discovered different forums on the internet discussing the same problem we were experiencing. Everyone talked about buying a sun visor. In 2 minutes, the service rep adjusted the contrast and brightness controls -- We drove the car into the sunlight and the displays functions perfectly.

The Sales and Service management from my local dealership get very low scores. It was their responsibility to "read the manual". We had 2 long chats with National Toyota who basically said that no one had ever reported the problem and they were not going to do anything. We then went back to the dealership management and threatened to return the car due to the safety hazard of not being able to see the Display screen which is the nucleus of this car. They then arranged this appointment -- seven months later.

Our frustration is now gone and we love our Prius -- without needing/using a sun visor or screening our windows to reduce the glare. I sure hope this helps other Prius owners.
