To be honest only time i really use the nav is at night in the day its to work and on the weekends its party time at night so i haven't actually tried it.

but i would think that it is bright enough cause you would be seeing the reflection and the PDA is made to use the sunlight to make it readable in the day so i don't think there is any problems

I'll check it out for u tomorrow just gotta find that damn piece of tint i threw away.

t wuldn't be daylght readable. The PDA's screen is transflective, not ultabright. That property allows it to be read in sunlight. It needs to be MUCH brighter.

That can be fixed by a 1watt LED

i believe a single superflux will work with polarized screen

Actually, the solution is much simpler than that. And yes, i did say solution.

THe new sentra came with tinted windows. I was looking at the window while driving and realized that i could clearly see my hand. Remembering what NiN said, i checked the untinted celica for a double image. Tint is all you need. Its not the clearest for small small text, but we will need to enlarge, and therefor project the image onto the tint, no matter the LCD size. NiN wa right. THing is you can legally tint your windshied. I'm wondering if it will work ofr evne 5% tint. I can't wait for my next car...now i really want to do this. A 30% tint all around is sounding like an awesome idea, no matter the vechicle....

THANK YOU NiN!!

If anyone needs a front reflecting mirror (problems with a ghost image) I found some for about $3 the other day if you want me to post up the link.

No problem

always glad to help looks like its working well for you.

On my screen i can read the text quite easily altho it be abit small but then again i have a vga screen.

Even a 5% tint should do the job it is illegal to tint the front windshielf down here but putting on a tint thats like not even noticeable just for the uv protection should make the image show up evenly and legal

You can go to a tint place and ask them what tint u can put on the windshield then ask them for a sample piece it's what i did to get free tint it was stock tint and works well

it's okay to have a strip, but not the whole windshield, i believe it's everywhere in U.S.

my car is 5% in the bacl, and 15% all around, and i have trouble seeing driving a nights, i wouldn't recommend tinting windshield below 50%, but strip is fine

Any pics of anything? What if you just used a small piece of tint on the location of where you planned on projecting the screen? You would not have to cover the whole windshield of course.
