Put a visor on the Headunit? lol

I have the same problem... you can't really tilt the deck. Some people install their deck below (where the cigarette lighter is)

Does anyone have a Pioneer with an OEL screen? Can you see those from the driver's seat?

You shouldve gotten the kenwood MP3 player model #7019 i think. Thats the one i got, during the day you can see clearly like a calculator type and at night its bright and it changes colors too!! about 67 diff colors.

I have a pioneer 7200 and I can see the display just fine. It's not the greatest during the day, but as long as the brightness is turned all the way up, I can see it well.

You can get get deck installed in the storage area right below. You would probably need custom brackets made......but it can be done. This way it's a little lower down and you can see it better. That's where I will install it, and i will use the top area for storage or even a center channel.
