CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 RAV4's top complaint is that the navigation screen is impossible to see in direct sunlight.
While certainly an annoyance, it's not a big deal in the world of car problems. Luckily the fix is a $10 anti-glare screen cover.

I bought a new 2013 rav 4 with Toyota navigation. On any sunny day it is impossible to read the map due to the glare. I plan on complaining to the dealership this week.
Purchased new 2013 Rav4 on 23 Mar 13. The entune navigation display (both day and night mode) is very difficult to see in bright daylight (in day mode) or at night time (in night mode). This is a serious distraction when using the navigation and results in the driver having to avert eyes to Focus on the display longer than necessary for details. This could result in an accident. A normal display would not have these issues. I have examined another brand new Rav4 with the same issue. The dealer also replaced my entune system; the problem still persists. It is a design flaw. Please prevail upon Toyota to fix this with either a hardware or software update.
