    Had my PriWee for 9 days. For some reason I placed my hand on the NAV screen and realized that it was extremely hot to the touch. Is this normal???

    It's not normal for the 09. I doubt that the 10 would get hot.

    Mine never does that. Either the sunlight is somehow getting to it excessively, or you have an electrical problem. Could be a serious fire hazard. Have your Toyota service department check it out.
