    If you look at the attachment, you will notice that there is a blur on the right screen where "settings" is. I just bought this car used and I assume it won't be too difficult to replace.. Or I hope so. How would I remove the first screen, and then replace the second screen that is underneath? This is my first time working on a Prius so bear with me.

    Many early production 2010 have this problem. Some have success cleaning it, but it's not easy to get to

    Looks like it's dirty. I can't imagine the original owner would have accepted it as such. It's a LCD display, it shouldn't get "blurry."

    Does this involve taking the dash apart?
