    Anyone heard of an aftermarket hood or visor for the DVD / NAV screen on the Tacoma? Sun glare is a bit of a problem for me with it...

    Yeah I was wondering the same. I can't see the dang screen during the day! Seems like a design flaw.

    What type of material did you use to make that hood?

    Have you guys tried just maxing out the brightness (leaving contrast in the middle) and seeing if its better? Tried it today and it does seem to help quite a bit...
