    I have looked in the search, but I may be using the incorrect terms, but I was curious if anyone knows why we have 4 screens on the dash screen to display information (fuel economy, trip info, etc), but we can only program 3 of those screens. Any thoughts? Is this Toyota's way of allowing a all blank screen?

    Yes, I believe it's how they allow a blank screen.

    I figured it was for a blank screen, even though technically you can create a blank screen by programming the 2 spots with "blank" from the settings lol

    Yes, though I suspect thinking of that would be beyond the reach of enough owners that Toyota designed it the way they did.

    ya, still would be nice to be able to use that spot if we wanted, keep it blank as the default, but give the option to use it for something
