Fiesta Mk7 - aftermarket screen unreadable in daylight

Featured Replies

Hi all, new to the ford owners club.

Recently bought a 2012 Fiesta Zetec, and it has an aftermarket screen fitted already (Pioneer AVIC-F9770BT, picture attached). The functionality of the screen is fine albeit it does feel a little dated, however it’s completely unreadable during daylight due to the angle at which it’s fitted.

Ive tried changing brightness settings and the like to no avail, so I’ve ordered some cheap ‘anti-glare’ screen protectors which will be here next week, although I’m not expecting much.

I think my two solutions are

- get a new head unit which angles the screen down more so it’s not impacted by sunlight

- get a new screen which fits in place (although I assume it’s not quite as simple as just swapping the screen)

Anyone had this problem or have any other suggestions?

Thanks

You could change the dash trim to change the angle of the screen so it's pointed more towards the driver like mine
