    I’m trying to confirm that the screen surface is glass. Mine feels just like my glass iPhone screen. I’m being told I’m wrong and that it’s plastic and scratches easily. This hasn’t been my experience yet. AI says it’s glass : } but the online parts website doesn’t state any details. If you have a link to any official Toyota verification, that would be helpful. Thx

    I can't really help but am curious.
    My iPhone still doesn't have a scratch on it, knock on wood.
    I think, looking at your car's screen, maybe with a flashlight on it from the side, if you would see any scratches, it would point to being plastic.
    I wonder what the manual says about cleaning it.
    edit: Read it, page 400...nothing. It does say that the front side windows have a UV protection film (if equipped, lol), that could scratch.
    edit2: Is it possible to get by without touching the screen? (I don't have my car yet)
    edit3: I just looked a my MINI's screen. It does have scratches, from cleaning. I never really touch the screen, using the dial (X-Drive). I might consider a screen protector from day 1 if the screen in my LE (8") will be plastic.
