Nav 5

Postby boxerscott » Sun Oct 14, 2018 6:47 pm

I noticed that when the sun is up the screen on the nav 5 is hard to read. This is due to the funny angle of the factory fit mount. It is something I can live with but it could be better. Anyone else experienced this and done anything to improve the experience?

I have a sun-shade on mine - works well, but cost around £25.

Alter the angle slightly (screen more vertical) - should stop the worst of it. A couple of spacers in the upper two mounts might do it?

Hi-viz tops tend to reflect off the screen - badly, too.
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works .....

That sounds a practical fix. I like that.

Have you lost your sense of humour?
