lexustooth Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 HI I got my new 09 250 ( non-navigation) a week ago. I love it. I do have a question . I see that the brightness on the radio/climate control center stack is not too good, especially in the hot desert sun. Is there any way to adjust this, improve this? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Have you turned the brightness control rheostat knob for the dash lights? I'm assuming that it works like every other Toyota product I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexustooth Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 The brightness control knob only adjusts the tach/speedometer on the dash above the steering column. The LED of the radio readout and climate info is unaffected. Very dim under normal conditins, unreadable in the sun. You'd think someone else would be a bit annoyed with this!

bartkat Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I can't see the center dash stuff in bright sunlight but it's not very often that I need to see it to do anything. I've noticed the same thing in several cars I've owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yep, they're just old style LCD displays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicLX470 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Tint the windows and close the sun-shade for the sunroof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
