Anyone with a touch screen system have trouble seeing the screen at different times of the day? Any issues with the top off in a coupe allowing the glare to wipe out the screen?

my vga touchscreen was almost useless with the top down during the day. I opted to upgrade to a transflective screen and shouldn't have any problems now

I have an 8" touchscreen in a Z06 (read hardtop). My windows are all tinted. I have had zero problems seeing my screen here in So Cal.

I know others have had problems and I expected a few, but even in the heat of the summer I have seen very few times when I had a problem seeing the screen, and even then I could see it, just a little washed. Not enough that I would ever complain. (pics in my sig)

Scott, is that a Lilliput or Xenarc screen?

<edit> Never mine - looked up your install - Xenarc

I have the factory NAV in my '06 and any time the sun is directly behind the car, forget it, can't see a thing. Putting the top down just gives it a greater angle of attack.
