I have also noted this probelm with many civics. One alternative is tinting the glass in your car. The less light that is let into your car, the less glare you get. If tinting isn't your thing I am not sure what to suggest, I am going to see if anyone makes a custom dash kit that will push the deck on an angle. I'll keep you all posted.

Pioneer head units with the OEL display can be seen just fine during the day.

That's true...I have the Pioneer 6400 with the OEL display, and I have no trouble seeing it, even in direct sunlight. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
