Hi,

I´ve only had my RAV4 for a few days but have noticed that the clock below the Satnav is very hard to see in bright sunlight, particularly when I just want to glance at it while driving.

Being an instrument maker and aviation nut I have a few gadgets around the house that often come in handy. One of these is a Davtron 811B digital aircraft chronometer with incandescent display, it is made to be easily read in all light conditions and has two brightness settings.

This morning I wired it into the back of the 12 volt outlet in the box between the front seats and am using double sided tape while finding the best position and angle.......

cheers, John

That would be an interesting fit!!

OE one cannot be seen when the lights are on.. If it’s raining and I put the lights on it’s not visible. Bloody annoying but I’ve never got round to sorting it out.

I only have two altimeters, a WW2 US Navy and a 1920s US Navy, they don´t really suit the car but they look nice on my bookshelf.

I love stuff like that ... Anything old or historical.. I have a small but growing collection of old enamel signs old fuel cans which I’m going to hang in my workshop when I’ve overhauled it later this year.
