MFD Touch alignment calibration

november · 10-25-2009, 03:48 PM

Hi there, I have an '04 Prius w/ a nav system. The LCD seems to be working fine and does not have the usual "a/c not connected" or complete failure issues, but its touch inputs are misaligned.

For example, when I want to to hit a button I have to touch to the left of the button that I want to activate. Also the problem is worse on the left side of the screen, i.e the further left the desired button is on the screen the further left the "windage" adjustment must be. So basically the far right side of the screen is fine but the left side is way off.

Does anyone know of a hidden menu to calibrate the touchscreen? I have seen these on other devices, and you hit a target placed in various points on the LCD to align the touches to the screen. I have found a menu that is sort of a diagnosis for this problem, it just confirms the problem that I have but does not fix it. It shows a target that moves to where I touch but does not remedy the misalignment.
Thank you.

The moving target is supposed to fix the alignment. I know of no other way to adjust it.
