Im starting to think that there is no headunit that you can see during the day

If someone does find one let me know, cause I like my JVC SH-99 but you can not see a damn thing in the day.

its hard with any hu because we have that damn angle. i have the pioneer deh-8400 mp. sometimes its hard to see because of the glare.

are there any alternatives that would allow you to see your hu during the day? like mounting it somewhere else or at a different angle?

its also because of where youre sitting... im pretty tall so i sit pretty far back, i know when i lean the seat in forward cuz someone is sitting behind me, that i can now see teh radio better. basically, the only HU you can see from ANY angle is any HU wihtout a shiny plastic cover on the screen... leaves you with the stock, and maybe a nakamichi.

I can see my Pioneer 7400MP with no problems. In the day I have the brightness on 15.

I have the reverse issue. At night on the highway or in the country its way too damn bright. I have to sometimes bump the brightness all the way down to 1 so it isn't so distracting.

Recently, ive put a Sony CDX-CA810x and a kenwood that was last years model that had a color changing background, and it seemed like you could see them in the daylight, i could be wrong though, i only was in them long enough to pull them into the parking lot. I do know that you cant see any alpine from last year (well maybe the one with the biolite display, but ive never seen that in our cars).

Regular Joe, i have the premier version, the p740mp, and I have that feature on where it bumps down the brightness when you turn on the headlights. I have it at 15 during the day, and it jumps down to about 5 at night, it works really well for me. It only is a lil hard when i drive around during the morning and at dusk when i have my lights on and the sun's out

i have an oldskool pioneer DEH8000r and cant see ****. i'm gonna custom mount it on my roofboard, right in front of my map lights, that way the sun will never glare it.

Hmmmm interesting ... except I generally always drive w/ my lights on for safety.

Oh ... profurious..... love the rims ..... I got em too. I rarely ever see anyone w/ them. You are the 3rd person I have ever seen.

i used to have a pioneer deh-7400mp, great display imo. really bright during the day, and i never had a problem with the display, always viewable.
now i have a clarion dxz835mp, really great unit, but you have to fiddle with the colors to find the right one ( the best one for day time view is a light background color because then the letters/numbers will be a dark color ).
either way, for viewing, both great, but the display on the 7400mp is a lot nicer.

I have the Pioneer DEH6400. It has the OEL Display and I can ALWAYS see it. I LOVE THIS HEADUNIT. It is really a good headunit. Highly recommended.

I have and am selling my Sony MDX 660 (3 Years old and already sold) and I liked that fine because the LCD was good at night and it would flip down durring the day. Worked very well for me and still does, only reason I sold it is because I am having a Clarion VRX935VD installed on Thursday

Alpine 7894.....can't see anything, but at least the glow of the buttons matches the dash lighting really well at night....
