Is it possible to add/move the five or six heating/AC/etc toggle switches to the MM display.
I am having a difficult time safely using them while driving.

Too much time with eyes off the road to identify and actuate the things.

Any other suggestions to safely use these would be appreciated.


Thanks

a bunch of Toyotas
it is technically possible,
but can anyone do it without rewriting firmware, nope.

make it safer ? why not keep driving and learn the controls
so over time you develop instant reflexes that do not distract when you need to
adjust something. typically most if not all drivers 'become one' with
the vehicle after some time and many control actions become automatic

It is sort of interesting. All the other things I have driven I pretty much get it fairly quickly.
Not this one, 7000 miles, one year and the only one I can safely (sort of) use is the fan control. Even then I have to look down to find the correct one.
Either I am not intuitive or the controls aren't.
Base on lack of other complaints I worry about the answer.

You are onto something.
I wear bifocals, lower great for reading, upper great for distance. Dashboard is in between and blurry.
I bought a pair of driving glasses but they ended up a PITA.

So it goes.

There you go! Mystery solved 😂

You're the first I hear that complain about the HVAC switches. Lexus GX550's owners hate their integrated on-screen HVAC buttons. Those are not tactile, you don't get the feel if you changing or not and sometime can be missed when on uneven road. Appreciate what you have lol!
